Mattagami First Nation Fishing is an organization focused on developing the sport of competitive tournament fishing on the waters of Mattagami Lake and the Gogama/Timmins area.
Our events are coordinated by volunteers with years of experience in organizing fishing tournaments and/or other events with high participant levels.
We are committed to providing competition through fairness, honesty, and respect for our anglers, sponsors, volunteers, and fans.
Mattagami Lake is home to the Mattagami First Nation. Conservation through education and protection of our resources is a part of our heritage. We implement proven approaches to maintain high live release rates.
As a non-profit organization we direct proceeds of our events towards improvements to the Mattagami First Nation community. Beneficiaries include recreational programs, equipment, and child/youth initiatives.
Mattagami First Nation is situated on ancient Native land that has long been home to the Ojibway and OjiCree people from the Mattagami River and Mattagami Lake areas and as far as the Moose River head waters on the James Bay coast. The First Nation is located on the northwest side of the beautiful Mattagami Lake. Translated, the Ojibway word Mattagami means Meeting Of The Waters.
Mattagami FN is located about 20 kilometres north-east of Gogama and is accessible by road five kilometres from Highway 144. The community is 80 kilometers from Timmins, Ontario.
