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. Anglers can also try for walleye up to 5 pounds in Magrum or Grace Lake, a short boat ride and hike away.
Blachford Lake offers trophy-sized Lake Trout and Northern Pike! In recent years the winning entries in our Trophy Release Contest were a 38 lb. Lake Trout, and a 32 lb. Northern Pike. Whitefish can be caught in Blachford Lake, and Walleye (around 4 or 5 lb.) can be caught on two of the adjoining lakes that are just a short walk from Blachford Lake. The ice melts on the lake in early June making it an excellent time for fishing. Throughout June through to early July, fish are generally caught close to the surface. From late August through to September, Northern Pike bite a lot in shallow water. In early September Trout swim in deeper water and by late September they rise to shallow water to spawn.
The lodge actively promotes a “Catch & Release” Fish Management Program that includes the use of barbless hooks and fish gloves to ensure the careful and healthy release of all large fish. However, we encourage our guests to enjoy tasty smaller fish for shore lunches or dinners!

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.

Lodge rooms are dressed with down duvets, and feature huge windows with expansive views, electrical outlets and in-room thermostats.
There are two viewing decks upstairs and an outdoor hot tub. The main floor serves as the lounge, with a bar, dining room, and library. The main floor also houses the kitchen and a small office.
There are five newly renovated log guest cabins closer to the lake to choose from - separated for privacy. All cabins have electrical outlets, a wood-burning stove for heat, pillow-tip mattresses with down duvets, large windows for aurora viewing and private washrooms with shower, toilet, and sink.
