Sight cast to trophy northern pike, lake trout and arctic grayling in the
heart of Canada's pristine northern wilderness.
With a look and feel of relaxed luxury, our inviting lodge is an ideal gathering place at the end of a great day of fishing.
Whether you want to relax in front of a toasty fire and enjoy a breathtaking view of the lake, tie a new fly or exchange fish stories, you're sure to enjoy the comfort and atmosphere this modern lodge offers.
The Cabins - Offering the same world-class standards of quality as our lodge our newly renovated and decorated Scott Lake cabins feature individual heating, wood floors, pine paneled walls, modern bath, comfortable beds and daily maid service. You will have to remind yourself just how far from "civilization" you really are. This is not the type of accommodation you would expect in the middle of the wilderness.
Lake Trout - Scott Lake's reputation for producing trophy lake trout is solid. Each year more than 300 lake trout over 35" are caught, with several dozen over 40" . A 40" Scott Lake trout is huge. Just look at the girth of the fish pictured in this site. Year in and year out our guests land trophies they'll remember the rest of their lives. And the action is consistent. Whether you're trolling a dropoff or jigging an abyss, get ready for some exercise because prying these powerful monsters off their lair is no easy task. And judging by the number of lost battles in recent years with the kind of fish that fish stories are made of, we don't expect our 45x28" record to hold up for very long.
Arctic Grayling - If catching 60 or more grayling in a day is on your "To Do" list, we offer daily fly-out trips to some of the hottest and most scenic rivers in North America. Averaging about two pounds per fish, these popular fly-out trips are an excellent way to make your fishing trip of a lifetime just that. Scott anglers regularly catch more than 150 grayling over 15" in a season. The Lodge offers ultra light spinning gear or four-weight St. Croix fly rods for grayling flyouts. No charge, of course.
Located on the 60th parallel on the border of Saskatchewan and The Northwest Territories, Scott Lake is 40 kilometers long by 40 kilometers wide and has an extraordinary number of bays, over 500 islands and countless nooks and crannies that are home to some of the largest pike and lake trout in all of Canada. Surrounded by a stunning shoreline of birch trees, jackpines, sand eskers and untouched wilderness, Scott Lake's bottom topography is as diverse as its top. Submerged islands, reefs, rock piles, dropoffs to 170 ft. and shallow, 3-ft. bays offer ideal habitat for trophy fish in all weather conditions and throughout the season. Accessible only by float plane and managed for catch and release, Scott Lake has evolved to its prime ecological potential. The fishery and the ratio of large to small fish are the best that nature can produce.
Scott Lake is -- and will always be -- a highly productive and trophy fishing lake. To maintain the quality of our fishery, and to ensure the intimacy we know you desire from a trip like this, we limit the number of guests at our lodge to only 24 per week. With more than 10,000 acres per boat, it's easy to feel you have the whole lake to yourself, especially when you don't see another boat all day. There are many days at Scott when several guests decide to flyout for the day, in which case maybe half a dozen boats roam the entire lake. Another major factor contributing to Scott's renowned productivity is our long-standing barbless hook, Catch-and-Release policy. Every fish taken out of Scott Lake is put back for the enjoyment of those to follow (except for the smaller, tastier volunteers that become delicious fresh fish shore lunches prepared by your guide). The trophy fish are still swimming. The big ones literally die of old age. Only in the far north.
Unlike many lakes where you have to choose either good action or trophy size, Scott Lake offers both. It's not uncommon here to land 60 to 80 fish a day for a single boat, and we've had more than a few with well over 100. And with some of those in the trophy class, fishing just doesn't get much better anywhere in the world.
Trophy fish are common at Scott. We consider a pike a trophy if it measures 40" or lake trout a trophy if it measures 35" or more and every year our guests land over a 1000 trophies. We don't even keep track of the "small" ones weighing between 10 and 18 lbs. And you don't have to fly out or spend all day in a boat getting to the fish. In fact, a number of the best lake trout spots on the entire lake are within sight of the Lodge. We've had 42" trout and 50" pike caught within a 15 minute ride from our dock. With 140,000 acres of water at our disposal there is a lot of room to roam.
