We are the only lodge on Wapata Lake and are the only lodge on the Cree River system between Cree Lake and Black Lake. Because of this we have very little fishing pressure on our waters and have fantastic fishing year after year.

Besides the fishing on Wapata Lake, we offer a one day river excursion down the Cree River to the "Dunes". The Dunes is a beautiful natural phenomena. It is a huge sand esker which rises out of the water and covers approximately 1 square mile. The fishing in the small lake there and in the adjoining river can be absolutely fantastic.

We can boat of some of the best Northern Pike, Walleye and Arctic Grayling in the area. Each year many trophy northerns in the 30" to 45" range are caught and released and huge northerns in the 45" to 53" range (25 to 35 pounds) are not at all uncommon.

Golden Walleye are very abundant and are easily caught on simple rigging. In fact if you consider yourself a good Walleye fisherman you can probably come close to catching them one after another all day long. During August some of the best Walleye fishing in the whole area is right off our dock.

If the "high spirited" Arctic Grayling interest you, just a 10 minute boat ride from the lodge puts you in midst of these beautiful fighting fish. Grayling up to 3+ pounds are caught each year.

The practice of "catch and release" of trophy fish and using "barbless" hooks has enabled us to keep the fishing as good or better now as it was 20 years ago and will ensure great fishing for years to come.

Our boats and motors are the best in the business. We have new 16 foot Lund Alaskans with spacious, wide open floors, lots of storage and padded, swivel pedestal seats. These boats are very stable and are excellent to fish out of. All boats are powered by new 40 hp.4-stroke outboards and are operated by experienced native guides. All you do is sit back, relax and fish.

Come and join us for the fishing trip of a lifetime. This experience will long be remembered by you and those you shared it with.
