FISHING
Each morning at eight o'clock your experienced guide will motor you about our waters with one objective, to catch fish! As you travel across our waters you enjoy the comfort and safety of the Alumarine Pro Guide Boat, powered by a quiet 40hp, 4 stroke Yamaha motor. Each craft is equipped with approved life jackets, Loki catch and release nets and pike cradles. Your day will be highlighted by a fresh fish shore lunch prepared by your guide and for the afternoon you will again be on a hunt for huge Pike. Both Misaw Lake and the Schwandt River and our fly out lakes are only available to our 16 guests for their exclusive use. Unlike a lot of lodges, there are no expensive fly outs or long boat rides to reach trophy waters.
Our aggressive fish management program, small guest capacity and moderate fishing pressure sums up to this: great angling and the opportunity to catch trophies will be guaranteed for years to come. See ya' on the dock.

NORTHERN PIKE
What's your goal; a 38", a 43" or maybe even a 46" Northern? Well, how about a 48" or even a 50" Northern. In Fisherman's Dave Csanda said it best, "Misaw Lake has an unusual strain of big Pike and lots of them." With world class Pike available, it's easy to understand why Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, The Next Bite, North American Fishing Club, In Fisherman, Field & Stream, Fly Fishing Quarterly, New Jersey Record, Detroit Free Press and fishermen from around North America talk about Misaw Lake.

From mid June to mid July sight fishing is almost guaranteed. There is nothing more exciting than a huge Northern making a V in the clear shallow water as it races to your lure and then watching the water explode right in front of you. Fly fishermen also find this period as the ultimate thrill to fly fishing for one of the largest fresh water fish available. These big Pike will test the skills of the best fisherman and strain their equipment to the ultimate performance. From mid July on, as the fish become fat for the long winter pulling them out of the cabbage is a thrill you'll have to experience. At Misaw Lake our board fish must be 40" and although this is high, I have no doubt you will join countless others on our board of fame. With 26 miles of clear Misaw Lake water and 30 miles of the Scwandt River available to you for your "exclusive use" you will experience a variety of habitat as your guide motors you across our waters on a "hunt" for Monster Pike. "Come prepared" for the thrill of your lifetime!

LAKE TROUT
Our lake harbors a vast number of Lake Trout and on any given day, your electronics screen can be covered with fish. Each season fishermen catch and release trophies in the 15 to 30 pound class and occasionally, fish up to 43 pounds. Unlike Pike, with Big Trout, the bigger the lure, the bigger the fish has never been more true than at Misaw Lake. Our big golden Lakers will and do challenge the best equipment and quite frankly, there is no better sound than the singing of a drag releasing line. Their strength is incredible and similar to reeling in a halibut off the ocean floor and then even a strong rod and an absolute knot have been known to fail. But patience and determination do pay off and the opportunity to land a trophy is excellent! The challenge starts here!!

ARCTIC GRAYLING
Within fifteen minutes of the lodge the lake flows into the Scwandt River, and is home to some of the best Arctic Grayling fishing in Saskatchewan. Each season we see Grayling in the 20" class caught and up to 17" are quite common, often weighing up to three pounds. These fish are masters of fast water normally lying among the huge rocks on the river floor waiting for their next meal. Hooking a Grayling in fast water is awesome to say the least. They are acrobatic, jumping and peeling line in an effort to escape and often their energy is so tumultuous they are near death when finally landed........They do require the most delicate handling and no one can help, but to admire their prism colors as they race to return the sailfish of the north to its home. This fish will certainly be in your conversations for years to come!

FLY OUTS
Our fly-out program started in 2004 and has been a huge success.Misaw has exclusive use of 13 day use lakes, 7 of which have still never been fished. We added a boat to Nunim lake in June of 2007 . This lake has proven to be another fly-out winner with a daily record of 268 fish for one boat of which 41 were over 40". We added a new boat to Goyer Lake in 2008. This proved to be another winner with numerous days of over 200 fish.
