What visitors say
Arctic Lodges is a fly-in fishing lodge in the remote north of Saskatchewan, reached by charter flight from Saskatoon and bush plane. Nearly all its reviews are five stars, and many come from returning guests. Visitors describe a big, wild lake, striking scenery and an upbeat, social atmosphere at the main lodge in the evenings.
The fishing is the headline. Groups report trophy northern pike well over 40 inches, decent lake trout and plenty of walleye, with some parties catching over 100 fish a day. Guides are praised by name again and again for their knowledge across seasons and weather, their humour and how invested they are in guests landing big fish. Boats and tackle are described as top-end.
The hospitality gets nearly as much attention. Guests rave about the food and the shore lunches, and the staff are described as welcoming and attentive from the moment the plane lands. Cabins are clean and roomy, and one reviewer noted each has a private lakeside hot tub. It suits serious anglers chasing trophies, but also older guests and families planning a multi-generation trip.
The main caveat is cost: several guests say it isn't cheap, though they felt the value was there. One visitor found the newer cabins lacked a second window for airflow and got very hot on warm nights, so pack for heat as well as cold.
