First I'm glad this is back, I joined the end of March and thought I shut the forum down. How late in the year are outfitters open with decent walleye fishing? If things look sensible I may want to make a late season short notice trip.
Typically late-Sept...then some are open for moose hunting.
I thought the same thing. We were supposed to go up to Alwaki a couple of weeks ago. First trip I missed since I was twelve years old. I'm 44 now
A couple of years ago, we were up in October for the Moose hunt and were able to get out fishing the day before opener.
A small problem is that the ministry starts lowering the lake levels in September and it was making it difficult to get the boat to the dock.
I don't know what the conditions would be like at other outfitters but that is what I saw with ours..

I feel bad for you, that has to be beyond disappointing
I’ve fished Alwaki in September 3 times and I have found the fishing still pretty darn good. I would recommend going earlier in September, partly because September can be a changeable month weatherwise and as Rhybak mentioned, they begin dropping the water level. I have been there when the weather is outstanding and also cold wet and windy.

That is one thing I liked about September as opposed to June.
June, your back from fishing after 10PM.... too late for a fire.
September, your fishing is dome around 7:30PM..... lots of time to enjoy a snack and an evening fire.
