Over 70 years of world-class trophy fishing
Our mission is to create an unforgettable experience. We want to share our remote island setting and the uniqueness of our historic lodging, gracious service and our superb cuisine with you. The trophy fishing speaks for itself, there’s no work to be done there!
Many of our guests have travelled all over Canada and the world to different lodges but return to Reindeer Lake because no other fishing experience compares. We have a 90% return rate!
If you are looking for true trophy fishing and a lodge that focuses on the guest experience, we invite you to join us at Arctic Lodges.
What some of our recent guests have to say

My daughter and I just returned from our adventure with Arctic Lodges. I learned a long time ago not to speak for her but my observations and listening to her descriptions of our doings and our time there have made it safe to say I think she had as good a time, or better (if that is possible) than her father. We were treated like royalty, the meals were superb, the place—though we did not get to see the Northern Lights—was what we wanted, peaceful and quiet. And we caught fish—a lot of them, some (very) big. Our guide, Zach, was knowledgeable, informative, and accommodating. He cooked terrific lakeside lunches from the fish we caught in the morning. And he made “bannock”(spelling?) which I can best describe as Indian frybread over an open fire in a cast iron skillet that was … the best. If I have one thing I might have changed, it was that I wish I had taken my 8 weight fly for out two days earlier. There is nothing that I have ever experienced—and I am from Montana—like a 38” northern exploding on the surface after you fly. My daughter would agree (I think … laughing). Maybe catching her own fish, which Zach taught her to do fly fishing, she would say was better. Finally, they made us feel like family. And they made us feel like it was genuine. And, in the end, they made us feel like we were part of theirs. Kudos.

My 3 adult children and I just shared an experience of a lifetime! We’re mostly from the Midwest US. We like to fish but don’t fish a lot (think sunnies and bluegill). Everyone juggled schedules and family just to get there, which is, in itself, a real challenge! But we picked a WINNER! And we caught fish! Boy did we catch fish! Each one of our four days fishing, just got better and better! And the staff at Arctic Lodges took care of everything - so we could just eat, sleep and fish! Professional, friendly, engaging and helpful, sums up our interaction with the truly wonderful staff, who just wanted us to have a great time. I suggest you read the Lodges suggestions and recommendations several times - they were right-on! Good rain gear is critical, even if it doesn’t rain. The protection from the wind and occasional rough water is a key. Due to logistics, and the fact that we don’t own much equipment or tackle - we rented rods and reels and purchased our “guide recommended” lures right at the lodge - perfect! The cabins are clean, comfortable and cozy. The boats are comfortable and efficient. The food is excellent! Shore lunch is quite a treat! Our guides were professional, extremely knowledgeable, flexible and fun. We chose to fish together… and the fishing was truly amazing. Plan a trip and go! The plane ride into camp is just the beginning of a “once in a lifetime” adventure!
Far Away
I returned to Arctic Lodges for the 6th time in late August of 2023 after a few years off. This was by far my latest stay , as I usually went in early July previously for trophy trout that kept my lines tight in the early season. However, I was completely enamoured by the aggressive pike action late in the season. It was so much more than I could have ever imagined. The stay at arctic lodge was once again way beyond my expectations when it came to food, service, and trophy fishing. Kelly and Andrea deserve a special thanks for operating an excellent lodge . I’d also like to thank, Zach, my guide for another ultimate trophy season that far exceeded my personal goals for trophy fish. See you next year!

Best guide and a wonderful experience.
My son and I traveled to Arctic Lodges for a fishing trip in late July. The accommodations and cuisine were everything we hoped to find. The staff was remarkably friendly and attentive. Our guide Zach was nothing short of incredible! He was responsive to our goals and so knowledgeable of lake I am in awe. He was absolutely tenacious when it came to finding fish - changing locations, presentation, and tackle with perfection. My son boated six trophy pike in three and a half days and we were never without action. I have never had a finer guide - period. And holy cow can that man cook a shore lunch! We will never forget our trip.

Arctic Lodges Fishing Trip
This lodge has continued to be first class in its fishing, it’s guides, it’s food and the hospitality and service. Very comfortable feeling and social staff make for a great stay. The lodge itself is located on a beautiful remote property that keeps your phone camera out of your pocket. And not to mention the best fishing that myself and my family have ever experienced in Canada, especially the Northern Pike. The Shore lunch experiences were also one of the best of the trip. Per usual, see you all soon!
