The electricity is 24/7 and is 110 volts. The main lodge features a lounge and dining room. Meals are home-cooked style and there is plenty of food. Lunch is via shore lunch prepared by your fishing guide. Overall, expect nice accommodations, plenty of comforts, and areas designed so you enjoy your downtime.

Guests fish from 18-foot boats with nice wide 80-inch beams and flat flooring for easier casting. The boats are well-equipped and offer rod holders, pedestal seats, and a 40 hp motor.

As mentioned this is a place for Trophy Fishing and you have access to four fantastic species of fighting fish. The Northern Pike are common in the 20-pound ranges with big Pike in the 50-55 inch range. The Lake Trout are fat and lazy and the big ones range from 30-50 pounds. Just as a teaser, the provincial record for Lake Trout is 51 inches long, 36-inches wide and estimated to weigh 82-83 pounds. That's King Salmon size. The Walleye fishing here is good with plenty of 2-5-pound Walleye available. Big Walleye approach the 8-pound mark and if you are lucky you might land a 10 pounder. The Arctic Grayling are the smallest of the fish, but they are also much smarter. Arctic Grayling usually weigh in the 3-5 pound range. Grayling require light tackle and a 5-6 pound rod. They make excellent targets for fly fishermen and so do those big Northern Pike.
