If you’re looking for the perfect escape into Canada’s remote wilderness, a Canadian fly-in fishing lodge delivers an unforgettable experience. At Cree Lake Lodge, we combine pristine surroundings with world-class fishing opportunities. But what really sets us apart is the incredible variety of fish species you can catch. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, there’s something here for everyone.
Northern Pike
The Northern Pike, often called the “water wolf,” is a favorite among anglers because of its aggressive strikes and thrilling fights. These apex predators grow to impressive sizes in the cool waters of Cree Lake, often exceeding 40 inches in length. Pike are known for their explosive attacks, which make them an exciting challenge for anglers of all levels.
To maximize your chances of landing a trophy pike, we provide top-notch fishing gear tailored specifically for these powerful fish.
Lake Trout
Lake Trout is another sought-after catch at Cree Lake. These deep-water dwellers offer an experience like no other. They’re heavy fighters, sometimes scaling over 20 pounds, providing a tough yet rewarding challenge. Their elusive nature also makes them a prized catch among experienced fishers.
During the spring and fall months, Lake Trout often migrate closer to the surface, making them easier to find. From trolling to vertical jigging, our waters offer plenty of chances to test your skills and land one of these beauties.
Walleye
If you’re a fan of mouthwatering fish dinners, catching a Walleye is a must. Known for their delicate, flaky meat, Walleye are often regarded as one of the best-tasting freshwater fish in Canada. But they’re not just on the menu; they’re also a joy to catch.
Walleye typically feed during low-light periods, so you’ll want to head out early in the morning or late in the evening for the best action. At Cree Lake, we’ll guide you to the hotspots where walleye are most abundant, ensuring an unforgettable fishing experience.
Arctic Grayling
For anglers seeking something unique, the beautiful Arctic Grayling offers a delightful challenge. These small but feisty fish are instantly recognizable by their striking dorsal fin and shimmering colors. You’ll often find Grayling in fast-moving streams or rivers, making fly fishing an excellent method for targeting them.
Catching an Arctic Grayling takes patience and a gentle touch, but the experience is as rewarding as the breathtaking scenery surrounding you at Cree Lake.
