Cree Lake Lodge
Pierceland, Saskatchewan
A family-run fly-in fishing lodge on the north end of Cree Lake, Saskatchewan, with guided American Plan stays and self-guided wall tent trips.
Overview
Cree Lake Lodge is a family-owned fly-in fishing outfitter run by the Schreiber family since 2009. It sits on a long peninsula at the northern end of Cree Lake in northern Saskatchewan. The business mailing address is in Pierceland, Saskatchewan.
The outfitter has two options on the same lake: the main lodge with six cabins, and a self-guided wall tent camp about 400 meters from the main lodge. The lodge sells all-inclusive guided packages that include guides, boats, gas, meals and air fare from Fort McMurray. The wall tent camp is a housekeeping trip where guests bring their own food and bedding.
Cree Lake is reached only by float plane. The fishing is catch and release, with fish under the legal slot size allowed for eating.
Highlights
The Fishing
Cree Lake is a large lake in northern Saskatchewan. The lake is 81 kilometres long and 57 kilometres wide, with over 500 islands. The main species are northern pike, lake trout, Arctic grayling and walleye, and pike and lake trout are the primary targets.
The lodge promotes the lake as a trophy fishery and describes pike up to 50 inches. Fishing is catch and release, though fish under the legal slot size may be kept for eating. Guided guests also get a shore lunch from the day's catch.
All-inclusive guests fish from 18-foot open floor plan boats with step-up casting platforms and 60 HP four-stroke motors. Self-guided guests use 16-foot boats with 30 HP motors. The main lodge has a small store with tackle and accessories.
Accommodations
The main lodge is 1,200 square feet and was rebuilt in 2018. It holds the kitchen and dining area, and meals are home-cooked. Guests stay in six cabins, each with a private bathroom and shower. The lodge is stocked by ice road in winter.
All-inclusive packages run on the American Plan and include guides, boats, gas and meals. The lodge also offers housekeeping and light housekeeping options.
The self-guided wall tent camp is about 400 meters from the main lodge. Guests bring their own food, bedding and toiletries. The camp provides a kitchen tent with cookware, a firepit area, a fridge with freezer and a kitchen sink. Some items can be bought at the lodge, but quantities may be limited.
