Northeastern Saskatchewan Fishing Lodge

Our Lodge is the only fishing operation on Phelps Lake in northern Saskatchewan. This virtually virgin 32-mile-long lake opened to anglers in 2000, and much of its waters are still unfished. Phelps lake hosts over 34,000 acres of water and over 300 islands. Plus an additional 15,000+ acres of prime pike waters are available on accessible day use lakes. With only a maximum of 12 anglers at one time, The exclusive trophy Pike fishing is second to none with comparably the best pike fishing stats in North America. Being the sole operation on the lake along with quality management, we will ensure top quality angling on Phelps Lake for Years to come.

The fishing on Phelps Lake is mainly for Northern Pike and Lake Trout. The Lake Trout average in the 5 to15 pounds, with many in the 20 to 40+ pounds, range. The Northern Pike are plentiful with many caught in the 48 to 50 inch range.

Feeder streams hold Arctic Grayling, providing for more of an angling challenge, and the main lake has plentiful White Fish. Phelps Lake also hosts its own resident Mystery Trout; an unidentified fish species.

The fishing has proven to be world class with Master Anglers being caught on almost a daily basis.

Each morning at our guests enjoy a hearty full-course home-cooked breakfast while you check the morning news and stocks on the camp’s satellite TV. Now gather your gear and join up with your experienced guide for an action filled day on Phelps Lake.
