We realize that having a great fishery is only one piece of the equation when it comes to delivering an outstanding fishing experience. That is why we have assembled the best group of guides possible and put them through our ORVIS guide school, assuring that they perform to standards set out by GWN lodges and ORVIS.

An increasingly popular method to catch these monster pike is with a flyrod. As an ORVIS endorsed fly-fishing lodge has all the gear and expertise on hand to enable you to try your hand at this exciting sport.

Simply put, when it comes to monster pike, Saskatchewans Wollaston Lake is hard to beat. Consistent catches of 50" plus specimens have made this the ultimate destination for the trophy pike hunter. Wollastons 1100 square miles are blessed with countless shallow fertile bays that fill up with big "northerns" in the spring, and supplemented with an equally impressive number of deep weedbeds that many big fish call home in the later months. These factors combined with Wollastons ideal geographical positioning, low fishing pressure and long standing catch and release policies have created the perfect pike fishery.

In addition to the great pike fishing, Wollaston has very good, and virtually untapped lake trout fishing. There have been many of 50lb+ lakers taken over the years. Often these huge prehistoric beasts are taken on trolling rigs in the deep holes, but can also be caught on shallow shoals in the spring and fall when the water temperature is cooler.

Many of the streams and rivers flowing into Wollaston Lake offer good opportunities for Arctic Grayling. These feisty beauties will take smaller nymphs and dry flies in the 12-18 sizes. For the spin-fisherman, smaller spinners and jigs will also work quite well.

McDONALD RIVER - Northern Pike, Walleye & Lake Trout

2 - 14 foot boats with 15 hp Honda outboards & 1 -14 foot boat with an 8 hp Yamaha on Bartle Lake

Accommodates 2 - 4 guests

As its name suggests, McDonald River is actually a 7 mile long by ¾ mile wide widening of a river flowing from SW to NE. McDonald River has had very limited fishing pressure. Last summer McDonald River produced trophy pike up to 46" and numerous walleye, with several walleye reaching the 30" mark.


Bartle Lake, a short ½ mile portage at the north end of McDonald River, offers some fast lake trout action with lakers in the 6 - 10 pound range being fairly common. Bartle Lake is also home to some excellent northern pike. There is a 14-foot boat with an 8-hp motor cached on Bartle Lake near the portage.


SIMPSON LAKE - Northern Pike, Walleye and Lake Trout

2 - 14 foot boats with 15 hp Honda outboards

Accommodates 4 - 6 guests

Simpson Lake, running from south to north is long and narrow. The lake is 13 miles long by 1 mile wide. The outpost cabin is located in a sheltered bay with a sand beach on the east side of a small peninsula at the south end of Simpson Lake. Pike in the 40"+ range have been caught within a short boat-ride from camp. Walleye in the 18" - 24" range are common on Simpson Lake. From Simpson, anglers have boat access to Scut Lake to the south and Jackson Lake to the north. Scut Lake has produced pike in the 45"+ range, while Jackson Lake offers anglers the opportunity to catch-and-release quality lake trout.

SPENCE LAKE - Northern Pike & Walleye

Accommodates 4 - 6 guests

Spence Lake, which runs SW to NE is 7 miles long by 1 ¼ miles wide. The camp is located approximately half way up the lake's west shore

This tea-coloured lake has produced excellent trophy northern pike up to 48". Spence Lake also offers anglers some great walleye fishing. Spence Lake has produced walleyes up to 32" and always offers fast action.

The cabin on Spence Lake was renovated in 1999. The cabin has separate kitchen and bedroom areas, a gravity-feed water system, a propane hot water tank and electricity provided by a gas powered generator. A few final touches will be made to Spence Lake this spring.
