Overview

Arctic Lodges is a fly-in fishing lodge on Reindeer Lake in northern Saskatchewan. The website gives the founding year as 1950 and cites over 70 years of experience running guided fly-in fishing trips.

The lodge is a remote island property in the centre of the lake. The website lists one lodge on Reindeer Lake and no outposts. Arctic Lodges shares ownership with Hatchet Lake, which gives guests a second fly-in fishing option in northern Saskatchewan.

The trips are guided, with a focus on trophy fishing. Guests can fish with spin or fly gear, and the lodge describes its program around the four main species of the Canadian Grand Slam of Fishing.

Established: 1950

Best for: Trophy fish anglers, fly fishers wanting pike, trout, walleye and grayling in one place, and groups who want private cabins on a sheltered island lake.
Best time: The lodge calls spring a favourite season for lake trout, because they feed near the surface before summer heat sends them deeper.

Highlights

Island lodge in the centre of Reindeer Lake
Guided fly-in fishing since 1950
Over 5,000 islands for wind shelter
Pike, lake trout, walleye and grayling
Over 2,000 fish released each season
Spin and fly fishing both supported
Private log cabins with wood stoves
Shared ownership with Hatchet Lake

The Fishing

The fishery is Reindeer Lake. The lodge targets northern pike, lake trout, walleye and Arctic grayling, the four species it calls the Canadian Grand Slam of Fishing. The website says guests catch and release over 2,000 trophy fish every season and describes little to no pressure on the fish.

Reindeer Lake has over 5,000 islands. The lodge says these give shelter from wind and waves and provide plenty of shoreline and structure to fish. The lake has bays, rocky points and calm stretches of water.

Guests can fish with spin or fly gear. Spin casting is the more common choice, though the lodge says fly fishing is growing among its guests. Grayling are traditionally fished on the fly, in rivers or on the lake, and the lodge recommends a 4 weight rod for them.

Accommodations

Each group is given its own private log cabin along the lake. The cabins vary in size, from a single traveller up to groups of 8. Every cabin has bedding, towels, toiletries, a full bathroom and a wood stove for cool nights.

The website describes the lodge as a full service wilderness lodge, with guides, amenities and meals included in its trip descriptions. It does not give a detailed menu or meal plan.

Summarized Review Highlights

Guest sentiment toward Arctic Lodges, on Reindeer Lake in northern Saskatchewan, is overwhelmingly positive. Nearly all of the reviews on TripAdvisor and Google give five stars, and many come from repeat guests. Some report going back annually for 5 to 20 years, and one reports a tenth trip. One group booked a trip for 32 customers and then booked again. The one three-star review comes from a longtime organizer of group trips. Several reviewers say they have fished other lodges in Canada and elsewhere and rate this one above them.

The fishing is the most consistent praise, especially trophy northern pike. Many reviewers report multiple pike over 40 inches, with fish of 45 to 48 inches mentioned several times. Others report very high catch counts, such as over 100 pike in four days or more than 80 lake trout in about four hours. Lake trout, walleye and Arctic grayling are also mentioned. Several guests describe "grand slam" days or trips, and some fly fishers say the boats, with raised casting platforms, suit fly fishing for pike. Guides are repeatedly described as knowledgeable about the lake, patient and good teachers, and several are named, with Zach mentioned most often. Reviewers praise the food just as consistently: gourmet or four-course dinners, an on-site chef, and shore lunches cooked by the guides from fresh-caught fish. Staff and owners (named as Kelly and Andrea in most reviews) are called attentive and accommodating, and one reviewer mentions accommodation for dietary needs, health restrictions and older family members. Cabins are described as clean and comfortable, and many reviewers call them rustic. Others say the setup is more comfortable than they expected, with hot water, toilets and daily fresh linens. Hot tubs were added recently, and reviewers also mention wildlife sightings and the northern lights.

Complaints are rare. The single critical review (3 stars, with an owner response disputing parts of it) says fishing quality depended heavily on which guide you got, with some boats catching many 40-inch pike and others only a few small ones. The reviewer also said the trip was effectively three and a half days of fishing rather than four, that one day included about six hours of boat travel and two of fishing, that management was dismissive, that drinks were expensive, and that the fishing did not match Wollaston Lake lodge. The owner disputed the bar pricing and the first-day schedule. One 2024 reviewer noted no giant lake trout that year, though they had caught several on earlier trips. Other points to be aware of are that the lodge is remote and reached by air (one reviewer mentions flying out of Saskatoon), and that cabins vary, with some newer and some more rustic. Based on these reviews, the lodge suits trophy pike and lake trout anglers, fly fishers, groups of friends or colleagues, couples, and multigenerational families, including parent-child trips. Several non-anglers and first-time fishers also say they enjoyed it thanks to patient guides.

Outstanding family experience at the World Class Arctic Lodge!
We went to Arctic Lodge with 3 generations: some of our adult children, my wife and I, and in-laws. The staff, facilities, dining, and fishing at Arctic Lodge are all absolutely amazing! Although the fishing itself is incredible, I cannot say enough how accommodating everyone was with us for varying dietary needs, health restrictions, and challenges related to advancing years of my in-laws. They went as far as providing an additional guide on the last day of fishing to bring my mother-in-law on a boat to meet us 40 minutes out on the lake to have lunch shore lunch with us and enjoy the afternoon with us as we fish. The guide even hooked a pike so she would have the experience of reeling it in! We cannot say enough about Arctic Lodge - simply the best fishing and wilderness experience in the world!

I've been visiting Arctic Lodges for the past few years and will be returning again in June. My friend had been telling me about Arctic Lodges for some time, relaying typical fisherman stories about incredible fishing and great food. After my first visit I told my friend his stories did not do the place justice. I have never fished anywhere that had the variety, abundance and quality of the fishing as I experienced on Reindeer Lake. The remoteness of the lodge adds to its unique charm and exclusivity. One of the most memorable aspects of our stay was the absolutely phenomenal food. The accommodations at Arctic Lodges strike a perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort.

Excellent Return Trip to ArcticLodges
I took my son for a return visit to ArcticLodges on Reindeer Lake for a 4 day trip late June 2024. We had gone late June 2022 and had a great time... the fishing, the food, the hospitality were all terrific then and enjoyed just as much on our 2024 return trip. The cabins are comfortable...with excellent quilts on the beds. We caught nice lake trout (no giants 2024 but several on earlier trips), pike over 40" on the fly rod, grayling on the fly rod. My son even caught a lake trout on the fly rod from shore while we were enjoying a shore lunch. The boats have comfortable seating and handle rougher water just fine. Guides are excellent. And the information package provided to clients, including detailed email updates regarding arrangements for flying out of Saskatoon are thorough and appreciated. Another excellent trip at ArcticLodges.

Arctic Lodge is more than well worth the trip
I returned to Arctic Lodges for the 6th time in late August of 2023 after a few years off. 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. The stay at arctic lodge was once again way beyond my expectations when it came to food, service, and trophy fishing.

Amazing adventure!
My 3 adult children and I just shared an experience of a lifetime! We caught fish! Boy did we catch fish! Each one of our four days fishing just got better and better! The staff at Arctic Lodges took care of everything - so we could just eat, sleep and fish! 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. Plan a trip and go!

Amazing fishing lodge with trophy fish that you have to go!
Got the opportunity to repeat a trip with my dad to Arctic Lodges. We first visited in 2018. Kelly, Andrea and the staff along with the huge northern pike exceeded our expectations yet again. Over 4 days, we landed 7 pike over 40 inches including 2 that went 45 inches. The cabins are rustic, but very clean and well kept. Where Arctic Lodges separates themselves is the service. The food is wonderful. Every dinner is 4 course. Our guide Peter was absolutely amazing. If you are looking for a lodge with outstanding service and opportunities to catch world class fish, Arctic Lodges is your place!

Daughter/father Arctic Lodges Experience
My daughter and I just returned from our adventure with Arctic Lodges. We were treated like royalty, the meals were superb, the place was 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. Finally, they made us feel like family. And they made us feel like it was genuine.

My wife and I just returned from one of the best trips of our life - Arctic Lodges an amazing place - wild, beautiful, yet peaceful, with incredible fishing, Reindeer Lake is a treasure - caught well over 200 Northern Pike over 30 inches - many over 40! Gourmet food, excellent accommodations, skilled guides and a helpful, friendly, fantastic staff - incredible attention to all details combined to make a superb trip. I was there 61 years ago with my Dad - hope to bring some kids and grand kids next time. We will be back!

World Class Fishing Trip
My young son, brother, and I had the opportunity to fish and stay at the Arctic Lodge on Reindeer Lake in July 2022. The fishing was absolutely unbelievable. Grayling, Walleye, and Lake Trout were big and plentiful... but my focus was on 40 plus inch Northern Pike. We caught multiple fish over 40"! The cabins and lodge were rustic but very nice... and food were truly first class. The guides were professional and hard working... and made the best shore lunches I have ever had.

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. 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.

In addition to extremely good fishing, excellent boats and guides the Arctic Lodges provides an extremely good food menu provided by a chef who is on site. The owners and staff are very friendly and it is clear from the moment you arrive that they actually care about their guests and genuinely want their guests to have the best experience possible. The Lodge and grounds are great and well-kept. An excellent fishing experience! (Stay: June 2019)

Amazing Fishing Experience!
Just got back from my trip to Arctic Lodges June 20th to June 24th. Caught the Grand Slam on fish - Northern Pike, Walleye, Lake Trout and Arctic Grayling. In the 4 days of fishing we caught over 300 fish and many big ones. The largest fish was a 46" pike with another at 45" - catching 2 fish of a lifetime in same trip is simply amazing. Easily caught over 100 pike over 34 inches in 4 days.

First Class Fly Fishing Experience
My wife and I just returned from a four-day trip to explore Reindeer Lake and Arctic Lodges as a fly fishing destination. What a great experience. Scenic beauty, wildlife, great accommodation, world class food, shore lunches (a true Canadian wilderness experience) and lots of large willing fish to challenge anyone. Northern pike, lake trout, grayling, lake whitefish and walleye all available for the fly fisher to pursue.

Potluck.
I have picked a fishing location in Canada for 6 guys every summer for the last 25 years. Arctic has clean cabins, good food and very nice staff. However the fishing quality is almost entirely based upon the guide you get. Some people caught many northerns over 40 inches while some others caught just a few small northerns. We were there for 3 full days and one half day. There is no four day trip despite what they say. Our last day we spent 6 hours driving around in the boat and 2 hours fishing. When I said something to management they could have cared less. Water, soda and alcohol are very expensive. The place does have potential but the fishing is not in same class as Wollaston lake lodge to the north. (Owner responded Jan 2018 disputing the bar pricing and the first-day schedule.)

Incredible experience. I was expecting an extremely rustic experience and I was wrong. The fishing is obviously incredible, my wife and I are not exactly amazing fisher-people and we probably caught ~50 large fish a day. The staff works really hard to get on a first name basis quickly and is incredibly accommodating. Our guide was great and had decades of experience on reindeer lake, was funny and made a great shore lunch every day. Breakfast and dinner were also top notch. The lodge is a great gathering spot and the rooms have hot water, toilets, fresh towels and sheets daily.

Arctic Lodges is a great experience. Lots and lots of big pike. I've been there twice now and between my partner and I we have boated over northern over 40" for 8 days of fishing and hundreds of smaller fish. The lodge self is beautiful and very comfy. The cabins themselves are rustic which I enjoy. The food is very good and the staff is awesome. Kelly and Andrea do a great job making sure that their guests have a great time. This is now an annual trip for me!

Trophy Saskatchewan Fishing at it's Best!
Arctic Lodges offers some of the best trophy fishing in Saskatchewan. Our group has landed trophy lake trout, 40+ inch pike and large arctic grayling on all our trips to Arctic Lodges. The guides know the lake well and are motivated to put fisherman onto the "big ones." Shore lunches are a northern experience the guides expertly prepare. The meals at the lodge can be summed up as "a culinary experience". The hosts Kelly and Andrea make every effort to insure our fishing adventure will be life long memory.

Canada Fishing Paradise
My wife and I spent opening week at Arctic Lodges this past June. The lodge had the best food at any lodge I went to this year and we went to 5 other lodges in Canada, Alaska and Eastern Russia. This lodge is set up ideally for couples or families. Both the guides and fishing are first rate. My wife and I caught tons of lake trout, pike, walleye and grayling. If you are targeting "huge" northern pike, this lodge is the place to go. The boats are the best I have ever used in Canada with raised casting platforms making it easy to fly fish for pike.

Anniversary Trip ...
Bob & I had the most wonderful 5 day mini holiday at Arctic Lodges. The place is extremely remote and not only did we enjoy the flight but once we landed the place was magic. The staff were all out to greet us & a scrumptious brunch was laid out by the Chef. Our private little cabin was rustic but spotlessly clean & tidy with a hand made anniversary card & a bottle of bubbly on the table. Our guide was George & what a gentleman. We did catch our share of fish, some of which George prepared for shore lunches.

If you like fishing, wonderful scenery, great shore lunches and top quality meals at the lodge you really should plan a trip to Arctic Lodges. My two sons and I have made the trip six out of the last seven years travelling from Chicago. Last year we caught and released several trophy pike including a 48" and 45". With over 5000 islands the scenery is really beautiful on Reindeer Lake. The boats are very comfortable. Log cabins for the guests are comfortable. Breakfasts and dinners have been very good every year. Andrea and Kelly really do try to make everyone's trip memorable.

The extra attention that the staff gives to everyone to enhance the overall guest experience is particularly noteworthy. The cabins are meticulously clean. The food itself is pretty much worth the trip on its own. The boats and tackle are top end. The knowledge of the guides for all times of the fishing season and weather types is exceptional.

My first trip to reindeer lake. I have been fishing Canada for 40 years and never seen anything like it. Our guide, Daniel, found a lake trout hole and we caught more than 80 lakers in about 4 hours. We couldn't even eat the fishing was so strong. Additionally, the staff were among the best and the chef was outstanding. If you like pike and trout, try Arctic Lodges! Reindeer lake is big but has a lot of bays and island that make it easy to fish. Worth every penny.

I have been going to Arctic Lodges annually for over 5 years. One of the best fishing experiences I have each year. Always catch numerous trophy Norther Pike.

As a non-fisherman I went along for an adventure with friends. The guides were encouraging and great teachers as I learned to catch these monsters. In the end I had a great time, I caught 84 pike including this 47 inch monster, and am going back next year to experience the four days all over again. Very isolated and unique location to explore, great food and service, and a focus on a great customer experience. Thanks to Kelly, Andrea and the team for making this the highlight of 2024.
