FISHING TRIP #OI-LU1
Saskatchewan Fishing Lodge
The largest Lake Trout ever recorded came out of Lake Athabasca, Saskatchewan!
Lake Athabasca is the 9th largest lake in North America and boasts a reputation for some of the largest freshwater fish in the world. The largest Lake Trout ever recorded was caught here, and it weighed in at a whopping 102 pounds! The Canadian record for Northern pike was also caught here weighing in at 42 pounds. If you’ve never felt the power of a 25 pound Lake trout or if you’ve never caught a 40” pike on a fly rod, this trip should be on your bucket list.
- Remote, fishing lodge in a roadless area.
- Fish for lake trout, Northern pike or both.
- You can expect to catch pike over 40 inches, and lake trout over 20 pounds.
- Fly fishing can be amazing as well!
- Saskatchewan fishing season starts the 3rd Friday in June & goes to the first Friday in October.
