Lake Trout, Northern Pike, Walleye, and Whitefish are all in abundance in the pure, clean waters of Blachford Lake. These all-inclusive fishing packages are perfect for the DIY angler who wants to fish as much as they want, whenever they want, in the land of the Midnight Sun.
This exceptional wilderness lodge is situated in a protected bay and is the only facility on Blachford Lake. The lake boasts some big fish - 38-pound lake trout and 32-pound northern pike are the current lodge records. They have been practicing catch-and-release fishing for more than 25 years, and the big ones are returned to the lake to grow some more. Anglers can also try for walleye up to 5 pounds in Magrum or Grace Lake, a short boat ride and hike away. Although the lodge encourages catch and release, each group of anglers can keep a few smaller fish for a traditional shore lunch, or you can bring the fish back to the lodge to be served at dinner.

Find out more details about the tour
The lake is typical of the Canadian Shield and has plenty of structure that holds lots of fish. There are deep channels, bays, reefs, and islands, giving you endless areas to explore. The fishing here is awesome in the weeks following ice out in June and continues well into September when the large lakers come into shallower water. Although this trip is self-guided, you will be provided with a guide for a couple of hours on your first day. Your guide will give you an introduction to the boats, motors, and equipment, plus take you out on the lake to show you some good fishing spots to try for northern pike and lakers, and check out the nearby walk-in walleye lakes too. The lodge has some fishing gear you can use, but you can certainly bring your favorite tackle and lures.
Located 60 air miles southeast of Yellowknife, the lodge can only be reached by charter float aircraft and is the only lodge on the lake. The pilot will provide a scenic flight to and from the lodge, and you’ll be amazed at the wilderness and countless remote lakes that unfold beneath you. This seclusion ensures the environmental integrity of the lake and ample stocks of fish for the future. Far from the noise and bustle of the city, this fly-in lodge is the perfect Canadian fishing getaway.
Summer in the NWT is an amazing time. Bask in the midnight sun, catch a trophy fish, hike on some of the world’s oldest rock, or simply enjoy the unspoiled nature and dramatic landscapes that surround you. This is the ideal setting for a Canadian wilderness fishing experience. For the non-angler, there are plenty of other activities to keep you busy, including canoeing, hiking, and kayaking.
Though remote, the lodge offers amenities such as gourmet meals, indoor washrooms and hot shower facilities, electricity, private lodge rooms or cabins, an amazing outdoor hot tub overlooking the lake, a lakefront sauna, and authentic tipi.

There are five large guest rooms on the second floor of the main lodge, with access to shared showers and washrooms (no private washrooms in the rooms). Lodge rooms are dressed with down duvets and feature huge windows with expansive views. There are two viewing decks upstairs and an outdoor hot tub overlooking the lake. The main floor serves as the lounge, with a licensed bar, dining room, and library. The main floor also houses the kitchen and a small office, and his and hers showers and washrooms, shared with cabin guests. Unusually for such a remote facility, our washrooms not only have hot running water but also hotel-style toilets; you would hardly know they are the eco-friendly composting kind!
There are five log guest cabins to choose from, which are separated for privacy. The cabins are very close to the lake, and each has its own lake view, an outside campfire pit, and an ensuite composting toilet with a wash basin. They all have electric lighting and power and feature a minimum of four beds with down duvets. The showers and the main bathrooms are less than a five-minute walk up to the lodge. All cabins are heated by a wood stove for those chilly northern mornings.
The lodge and all cabins enjoy free wireless internet access so you can post about your amazing experiences. They are all non-smoking.
The lodge prides itself on its environmentally sensitive footprint. There are solar panels, wireless Internet, two high-efficiency wood-burning stoves, and a remarkable waterless composting toilet system.
