bays, the perfect habitat for big Northern Pike! One thing for

Alberta is another alternative). You will be greeted at the Yellowknife
Airport upon your arrival, and then proceed downtown to pick up

When you're dealing with time and travel, "the Rock" is the place;
it's literally a quick and easy 12-minute wilderness floatplane

Lake through interesting channels and islands. Besides fishing
for massive northern pike up to a whopping 40 pounds; let your
guide show you the mysterious hole in the rock or a Bald Eagle
nest, or have a shore lunch of fresh cold water Pike. In the winter,
we also offer snowmobile expeditions, Aurora viewing, ice fishing,
and Caribou viewing.
Born
of original Aboriginal cultures, founded on golden dreams of prosperity
and sustained by a devotion to its diversity - it is a city like
no other. Yellowknife sits at the edge of a wilderness, in the
heart of the Arctic and these boundaries give it beauty in the
most outstanding ways. It is a city of colour, a city of contrasts;
but above all, Yellowknife is a city of spirit, drawn from the
mystery of the land and its gracious people.

new lodge has a fully licensed lounge, electricity, telephone

a fully equipped kitchen where you will be prepared Northern cuisine
that's home-cooked perfect each and every day. The eating area
overlooks the lake and the northern sunsets are spectacular. There's
also a hot tub to soothe those aching muscles you may have from
catching monster pike all day.
With
the extended daylight hours, you could be fishing minutes after
you land at the lodge. Trophy-sized Northern Pike will be yours
among these unexplored islands and long weedy bays. This portion
of your trip is fully guided. Your guides know and understand
the traditional way of life andthe habits of the fish. It really
is amazing but the pike can be found in almost every nook and
cranny. The North Arm of Great Slave Lake has thousands of bays
and channels that hold trophy fish. The weed beds are thick and
so are the fish. The guides are not only masters at finding the
Big Pike spots; they are also experts at preparing a great shore
lunch. Taken in cold waters, pike are one of the most delicious
eating freshwater fish. There's no place better than the outdoors
to talk about the big fish of the day. Our fully guided Northern
Pike fishing packages starts in early June and run to September.
