It's little wonder that Northern Pike are such a sought after game fish. Catching these ferocious predators is both challenging and exciting. Shallow, clear water, medium - weight casting and lots of big fish action... now that's fun fishing!

At our Lake Lodge, stories of large trophy Pike are fact, not fiction. Every season anglers land hundreds of giant Northern Pike in the 40"-50" range. The Lake record currently stands at 54 inches (36 lbs). This is the north woods Northern Pike fishing that you've been dreaming about.

Northern Pike are very prolific throughout The Lake and the surrounding watershed and offer great sport all season. During peak season from ice-out through early August, you'll present top - water plugs, spoons, bass spinner baits, Sluggo - type worms and "jerk baits" to concentrations of fish in shallow bays, creeks and rivers.

Later in the season Northern Pike will concentrate in the jungles of tall "cabbage" that provide excellent cover in six to twelve feet of water. Casting and trolling big crank baits is an effective means of getting these awesome predators on the line.  

If there's anything more exciting than seeing a large Northern Pike push a six inch wake towards your lure, let us know. In the mean time bring your camera and plenty of heavy duty line.

Fishing Northwest Territories - Northern Pike offer an exciting challenge to the fly fisherman. Catching these aggressive predators on the fly is one of life's great sporting experiences. Your guide will get you up close and personal with our primary game fish. Casting to Pike in weed beds, cabbage patches and creek mouths you'll quickly come to appreciate that big Pike will rarely pass up a well presented fly.

We recommend using an 8-wt or 9-wt. 9' rod with both floating WF and WF rapid sink tip lines with 20 - 30 lb. test backing (the same outfit may be used for Trout and Northern). Use a 14 - 18 lb. test tapered leader/tippet, and wire leaders are essential. With floating lines you may wish to use a fly line one size up from the rod weight-an 8-wt. rod uses a 9-wt. line.

Large waters are needed to grow large lake trout. At over 1250 square miles, The lake provides the water, structure and forage base that large populations of giant Lake Trout require. Enormous Lake Trout swim at shallow depths all season long in these cold waters, making our location one of the best Lake Trout fisheries in the world. Proof is the scores of 20-50 lb. Trophy fish our guests land at our Lake Lodge each season.

As if time stood still, the Kazan River rises at the Lake and sweeps majestically downstream through spruce - lined valleys of boreal forest and fragrant tundra. Wildlife abounds and evidence of Inuit and Cree habitation still remain, testimony to a time not so long ago when these were the homelands of nomadic hunter gatherer peoples. For many guests, the time spent fishing this Canadian Heritage River is the highlight of their trip.

Below a set of beautiful rapids you cast into the gently bubbling current... and almost instantly your rod comes to life. A vigorous little battle of jumps and runs ensues, until, in your hands, you carefully cradle a beautiful iridescent 3� lb Arctic Grayling. Your next cast... another fish. And another. And another...

This is Arctic Grayling fishing style, and it is a fact it's the finest Arctic Grayling fishing in the world. What sets us apart from all others is not only the quantity but the size. Catches of forty or more fish a day, with numerous fish over 3 lbs., is par for the course.

In fact, our anglers catch legitimate 4 lb. + Grayling every season. The Lake Lodge record stands at an amazing 5 lbs. 10 oz., just 4 oz. shy of the All - Tackle IGFA World Record. It just doesn't get any better!
