The lake that gave the lodge its name is large, beautiful and unpressured. You will fish in secluded back bays, river mouths or around our islands—and never compete with another angler! Catch walleye and northern pike, along with the occasional whitefish and burbot. In the summer, there are great swimming spots too. Four rivers lead out of the lake, as well as islands and a small waterfall.
The name says it all. We take people to Big Fish Lake when they’re after big northern pike and trophy lake trout. The biggest fish pulled out of this lake weighed around 40 lbs! Big Fish is a short drive from the lodge. Surrounded by pristine white sand beaches, it’s home to a famous northern pike spot called “Gator Bay.”
Looking for lake trout action? The answer is Langley! Getting there is part of the fun and is ideal for thrill seekers and outdoor enthusiasts. This lake boasts loads of lake trout and also produces trophy northern pike, which can be caught all season. Many guests have told us they needed to take a break because their arms were tired from wheeling in laker after laker.
You’ll fall in love with the scenery as your boat meanders between the reeds on your relaxing, hour-long cruise to Preston. Be sure to watch for wildlife! Preston is also famous for its incredible early spring and fall lake trout fishing.
As a Canadian Heritage River with ties to the 18th century fur trade, the unspoiled Clearwater River has stories to tell! An inukshuk welcomes you before cruising between rock walls and through rapids to end at the Grayling Hole—the prettiest fishing spot we’ve ever seen! If you’re after trophy Arctic grayling, this is the place. Walleye fishing off the rocks is also high on the list!
This river is often as calm as its name suggests. It winds through a giant marshy landscape, and cruising up the Mirror to Little Rock (a special treat for guests feeling extra adventurous) often results in bird, bear and moose sightings and the kind of tranquility many only imagine. Fishing in the river for walleye is an absolute blast.
Of course, you’ll be focused on fishing when you’re here. But there are many in-between moments to take everything in, and that’s when you might spot something that takes your breath away. Our guests have seen a huge variety of wildlife, whether from a distance in one of our boats on the river or on a hike to one of the lakes.
