About Us |

| Fishing at
Big North Lodge starts right from our docks. Throughout the season, from May to October, fishing is excellent for walleye, Northern Pike, Bass and there is the ever elusive Muskie for the experienced, patient fisherman. Five fishing lakes, Gun Lake, Little Sand Lake, Big Sand Lake, Rough Rock Lake and Pistol Lake, on the Winnipeg River System can be reached by boat without portaging. Our guides are experienced and well qualified to make your fishing trip a memorable success. Who can forget the famous shore lunches, expertly prepared by your guide. A feast of fresh walleye with all the trimmings is well worth telling your friends about. We encourage fishermen to participate in this Catch and Release Program.

The aim of the Association is to promote the "Live Release of Trophy Fish" to help maintain the Winnipeg River System as one of the best for trophy fishing. In recognition for participation in "LIVE RELEASE", guests are presented with a trophy release pin.
