Hi Folks,
I can honestly say that our trip to Bakers Narrows Lodge was the best fishing trip we have ever had.
My father and I have been to various lodges in different locations over the last several years, each trip produced new personal bests and all time highs - this trip was no exception.
We planned this trip with Lake Trout fishing as our only interest, we were not disappointed! We caught fish every time out, but the highlight came on the fourth day of our trip. We started out the day with our guide, John, with talks of a 100 fish day (Lakers). I thought that to be a bit unrealistic I must admit, however as the day moved on we began to see that it might be possible. Sad to say though, we missed our target .... by six fish, we had 94 Lakers for the day ...... WOW!
We would have made our 100 mark if it wasn't for the four Master Angler Lakers we caught, they took up over an hour of our fishing time. Believe me we didn't mind trading numbers for those trophy fish. First came one at 38", than another at 41", the very next fish at 39.25", finally the last fish for the day number 94 at 42". To say the least we were excited, not to mention a little sore, but well worth it!
All in all it was a memorable trip, from the fantastic fishing to the beautiful surroundings, great meals and service, and comfortable lodging.
When asked did I have mixed emotions about leaving to go home I had to answer "No", as I certainly felt like I was home. Thanks for a great trip, and wonderful memories. We're hoping to see you again next season.

"I have been a guest at Bakers Narrows Lodge 5 times during the last 3 years and plan to continue coming to this facility for many more fishing seasons. The facilities, amenities, service, guiding and fishing are all without parallel in my experience at fishing lodges in northern Canada.
Lake Athapapaskow is by far the best lake for lakers that I have ever fished, and the walleye fishing in the fly-out lakes can be spectacular. In June of 2007, I managed, with the help of our guide John, to catch and land a 41 pound lake trout, the single best fishing experience I have ever enjoyed.
On a fly-out with my father, and our guide Eelco, we caught and released over 150 walleye in one day - unbelievable action. As a family, we have also caught the 5 or 6 largest pike we have ever caught anywhere. I would highly recommend Bakers Narrows Lodge to anyone for any sort of fishing trip, be it a family vacation or a guy's "fish 'til you drop" weekend."
