About Us
We are the new owners of Agimac River Outfitters in Ignace, Ontario since May 2008. It's been a busy year so far just getting settled and into the swing of things here at the camp. We're meeting many wonderful people who faithfully come here for their fishing expeditions. They ask us what caused us to be interested in coming to this area.
We live on site at Agimac River Outfitters on Indian Lake, 18 miles north of Ignace, Ontario. John, a Northern Minnesotan, grew up on the west end of the wild and scenic Echo Trail. He helped his family literally carve a resort out of the wilderness. At the ripe old age of thirteen, John began guiding guests into what is now called the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. He learned a great deal about survival in the woods from his father and other woodsmen.
One day John met Daryl, a native Floridian.
He said, "You are my wife!"
She replied, "Good-bye city life."
And thus they began their new life together in the north woods of Minnesota.
We have three grown children; Cherish, Joanna, and Jonathan. Cherish works as an Accredited Staging Professional/ webmaster/secretary at Bear Island Land Co., a real estate office in Ely, Minnesota. Joanna has enjoyed her job at the Ely Vet Clinic grooming dogs and guiding for the dog sled trips in the winter. She will be joining us in Ignace to continue guiding for Run Silent Dog Sled Trips from Agimac River Outfitters. Jonathan is currently serving in the Air Force and lives in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma with his lovely wife Reseth.
It was always a dream in the back of John's mind to someday own a resort in Northwest Ontario, Canada. After looking into the possibilities for about five years, he found what seemed to be the perfect location for a year round resort. Agimac River Outfitters has the remoteness and excellent fishing of a fly-in resort that you can drive to and also has lots of nearby trails to explore with the Dog Sled Trips which they guide in the winter months.
We are excited about all the possibilities for renovation and expansion in the future here and welcome you to make Agimac River Outfitters your adventure destination.
Sincerely,
John and Daryl Oberg
