Arctic Grayling, & Northern Pike
Fresh Water Sport Fishing on Lake Athabasca in Northern Saskatchewan
Lake Athabasca Lodge,
located on Grouse Island in the heart of Lake Athabasca, which is on
the north eastern border of Alberta and the northwest corner of
Saskatchewan, offers some of Saskatchewan's finest guided fresh
water sports fishing trips for Lake Trout, Walleye, Arctic Grayling,
and Northern Pike.
Your fishing experience will ultimately be one of the most memorable
trips to northern Canada. Our sports lodge also offers vacation
stays, adventure walks, and eco-tours. Discover the magnificent
beauty of the unspoiled wilderness and the crystal clean fresh
waters in the northern Canadian shield while experiencing some of
the world's best fishing for lake trout, walleye, northern pike and
arctic grayling guided fresh water sports fishing.
With flights out of Calgary and Edmonton to Fort McMurray on West
Jet or Air Canada Airlines, Lake Athabasca is one of the premier
fresh water lakes in Northern Canada. Come stay with us on our
remote island in northern Saskatchewan.
Remote Fly-in Sport
Fishing at Lake Athabasca Fishing Lodge
If fly-in sport fishing
for trophy size Lake Trout and Northern Pike are your game, you will
not be disappointed with fish ranging from 60lb Lake Trout to 50"
Northern Pike. Perhaps you'd prefer a nature and adventure tour of
the lake and Sand dunes or tour some old gold mines and historic
sites in the area, Lake Athabasca has something for everyone.
The unspoiled beauty of Lake Athabasca is a gem to be discovered,
the fourth largest lake in Canada and the eighteenth largest in the
world.
Our lodge is fully modernized with all the amenities of home , enjoy
a great meal prepared by our chef or a shore lunch cooked up by our
professional guides. Located on the Alberta/Saskatchewan border just
south of Canada's Northwest Territories, this premier fishing lake
is a natural boundary between the Canadian Shield and North
America's largest area of active sand dunes.
Remote Fly-in Guided
Fresh Water Sport Fishing at Lake Athabasca Lodge
Lake Athabasca is also
home to the elusive Walleye. Jig for Walleye in deep, rocky holes
found around the lake. Have a shore lunch of fresh walleye fillets
prepared by your guide and you'll want it all the time!
Arctic Grayling, the "fiesty sailfish of the North", also calls Lake
Athabasca home. Found in the swift-running fresh waters, these small
but mighty fighters are a thrill to catch. Try your hand at
fly-fishing for these acrobatic, colourful fish right from shore on
our island as well as several other small islands.
This fresh water lake is famous for its Lake Trout, Arctic Grayling,
Walleye and Northern Pike. Out here, we don't even call them fish -
we call them "hogs" because there is really no other way to describe
their abundance and size. The photos and smiles say it all.
Lodge access to
Athabasca Sand Dunes Provincial Park Saskatchewan Canada
The amazing and
spectacular Athabasca Sand Dunes are only a eighteen mile boat ride
from Lake Athabasca Lodge across the lake and is well worth the
trip. The Athabasca Sand Dunes are located along the south shore of
Lake Athabasca and run for about 60 miles reaching as high as 100
feet in some areas.
The Athabasca Sand Dunes are the most northerly major sand field in
the world. Constantly moving, they slowly smother forest in some
areas and uncover stands of previously covered forest in others.
There are over 50 rare plant species found in the area, 10 of which
are found nowhere else on earth. This fragile landscape is protected
by the Athabasca Sand Dunes Provincial Wilderness Park.
Remote Fly-in Sport
Fishing at Lake Athabasca Fishing Lodge
Lake Athabasca is located
near the 60th parallel, spanning the Alberta and Saskatchewan
borders. Our lodge is located on Grouse Island near the North shore
of the lake. Our location is considered by most as the best spot on
the lake to catch the most fish per day. These convenient images
allow you to experience all the lake has to offer.
To reach our lodge, guests fly to Edmonton or Calgary, Alberta, then
connect by jet to Fort McMurray, Alberta. A caravan flight of an
hour and a half is the last leg of your trip. We pick you up at the
air strip for the 3 mile boat ride to the lodge. We welcome guests
throughout our season, which runs from June to October.
We also accommodate trips
from private aircraft owners.
