Overview

Ubiquity Lake Outfitters runs a fly-in fishing and black bear hunting camp in Northern Saskatchewan. The Heier family has owned and operated it since 2022. The owners now live in Central Alberta.

The operation has two sites. The main one is Ubiquity Lake Lodge, on a quiet bay of Ubiquity Lake. The other is a log cabin outpost on Carpenter Lake, 1.5 miles from the lodge. The outfitter holds four private lakes in all: Ubiquity, Carpenter, Esker and McKie, with portages connecting all the lakes and boats/motors ready-to-go at each lake.

The trips are all-inclusive fly-in packages. The lodge sleeps up to 12 guests, and 6 to 8 is the ideal group size. They take only a few groups each year, so fishing pressure is minimal.

Best for: Private groups of 6 to 8 who want a remote fly-in trip with the whole camp to themselves, and anglers after trophy pike and lake trout.

The Fishing

The outfitter fishes four private lakes in Northern Saskatchewan: Ubiquity Lake, Carpenter Lake, Esker Lake and McKie Lake. The trip provides a great chance at a Canadian Grand Slam, with northern pike, lake trout, walleye and arctic grayling all available. Pike and lake trout are the trophy species.

Carpenter Lake, 1.5 miles from the lodge, holds lake trout and pike. Guests reach it by boat or quad. The cabin there is currently used as a shore lunch spot. Boats are ready on arrival, and guests can start fishing as soon as they like.

Accommodations

The main lodge is fully modern with a rustic feel. It has electricity, hot and cold running water, an indoor bathroom and showers. WiFi and a satellite telephone are in camp. Guests can relax on leather furniture inside, on the deck over the lake, or around the fire.

Each guest gets a bed, either in the downstairs bedroom or in the upstairs bunk-style quarters. Bedding and towels are provided. Guests bring warm clothing, rain gear, insect repellent, sunscreen and fishing gear. Smaller groups are paired with other guests to fill the camp.

Meals are homecooked and included in the package, on an American Plan basis. They are served at times that suit the group. The Carpenter Lake log cabin was built by local indigenous people and is not currently used for lodging. The owners plan to restore it for a more private, self-directed stay but have not yet provided a completion date.

Review Highlights

Guests rate Ubiquity Lake Lodge very highly. All of the reviews give 5 out of 5 stars, and several come from repeat visitors who say each year has been as good as or better than the last. Some reviewers were first-time fly-in or first-time Canada anglers and say they plan to return. One TV host who taped a trip there in 2002 called it possibly one of the best kept secrets of Saskatchewan pike fishing.

The fishing, food, and hosts are praised most often. Reviewers describe strong pike fishing, including fly-rod action for pike and trout. Guests report pike up to 45 inches and 27 lb, and one guest counted ten 20-plus-pound fish in a day. Lake trout of 5-10 lb are caught near camp, and walleye are plentiful. Nearly every reviewer calls the food outstanding or good, with prime rib, roasted hams, and deep-fried breaded pike fillets named. Guests describe the staff and guides as friendly and welcoming, and some say they felt like guests rather than customers. Guests single out Linda and Rod, the cook and guide, by name. Wildlife is another highlight: several reviewers saw black bears, one reviewer saw bears large enough for the record book, and others saw bald eagles and moose tracks. The lodge sleeps twelve and has hot and cold running water and showers, and one guest also praised the lodging.

Reviewers raise no complaints or recurring concerns. The lodge suits anglers who want pike and big-fish action, including fly-fishers, and first-time fly-in guests who want a welcoming, hosted trip. It also suits groups of friends, and one reviewer is already planning a return trip with family. Guests who want bear viewing or hunting, wildlife, and good food alongside the fishing will also find it a good fit.

Officially Rugged Testimonial

TV host's write-up of a June 2002 taping trip. He calls Ubiquity Lake Lodge possibly one of the best kept secrets of Saskatchewan pike fishing. The lodge sleeps twelve and offers personalized service with hot and cold running water and showers. The food was outstanding, including prime rib and roasted hams. The fishing was 'unbelievable', with 5-10 lb lake trout 200 yards from camp, pike up to 45 inches and 27 lb on Ubiquity, and a 42-inch pike on nearby Carpenter Lake. He also reports plenty of walleye and many bears seen.

What a place, what a group. The scenery was spectacular and the fishing awesome, but the cook and the guide topped it all. Linda and Rod, you make it all come together. We're already figuring out how to bring the family here. It is simply too wonderful to miss.

One great week, with great food, good fishing and good company. All of you went out of your way to make sure we had a great time. You made us feel like guests rather than customers. We will see you again.

First fly-in experience, and it won't be the last. Great food and friendship. There will be stories for years. It will take years to wipe the smile off my face.

Great fishing, excellent fly-rod action for pike and trout. Best luck on a fly was a red and white Bunny Hug with a long rabbit tail. Couldn't keep the pike off at Esker Lake. Good food, especially the deep fried breaded pike fillets. Saw several large black bears, bald eagles and moose tracks. Guides were excellent and very friendly. A fantastic trip to the Canadian wilderness.

First time fishing in Canada and very happy it was with this outfitter. Wyatt and I could not have felt more welcome anywhere (except home, I think). We've been here a week and it feels like we've known you all our lives. The meals, lodging and great stories will be hard to beat.

The food just keeps getting better and the bears just keep getting bigger. Hats off to the boys at Ubiquity. Two out of three years, bears that will make the book. I'll be back to raise the number next year.
