Anyone that can recommend a flyfishing trip to Canada, close to Wyoming for a week or so for northern pike. Im hoping to not spend more than 1500 a person. Im thinking Saskatchewan most likely but open to other providences. Thanks

Ask wabigoon

He goes up there all the time to fish....and then sits in a camphouse and posts peter pan threads on 24

lmfao

Take cash, keep Canada green. smile.

That's your recommendation for his fishing trip?

Only one one dirt, If I knew anything about western Canada fishing, I'd tell him. Keepin' the thread alive to real help arrives.

Some one help this good fellow.

Esox; check northern Saskatchewan, or the NWT out of Yellowknife. It has been years since I fished anywhere outside of my "farm" on the North Saskatchewan River so I do not have any referrals. Th fishing on the irrigation reservoirs in the EID (eastern Irrigation District) used to be grand but it has been decades sine I fished there. I think Ingwe heads up this way to fish hopefully he will chime in, or some of the other western Canadian folks with recent experiences.

Thanks ill do some checking

Alexander’s on Rowan is above Minnesota. I’ve fished there. Plus I know the owners personally. Very good fishing. I caught smallmouth and pike fly fishing. Tried to catch muskie on fly rod but was unsuccessful. Did catch a muskie bumping 50” on a big crankbait.

I think Ingwe goes Pike fishin out west somewhere !

Send him a PM.

Whoops, just got to GRF's post !



Heck, ol' Ingwe, probably doesn't remember anyway !

Yep! Im headed up to Northern Alberta the first of the month. Fly in from Ft. McMurray To Gypsy lake. Pike only. Catch and Release only...but you catch so many you're sick of looking at them...and have done great there with a fly rod on many occasions.

Google Gypsy Lake Lodge...excellent all the way around!

Towing your own boat? Boat rental ?Tent or rent cabin?

Tobin Lake not bad and looking at about 15 hour drive.

Tough to access drive in quality fly fishing for pike for $1500 a person. Usually good quality pike fly in only and about $2500 plus a person plus long drive

Northern Saskatchewan is where I'd go. BTW, it's province, not providence, not that it matters, but Canadians will make fun of you if you call their home province a providence.

Esox, you may want to try Lake of the Woods, either on the Minnesota side of the border or the Ontario. Fished there a couple of weeks ago, lots of pike and also Muskie...they would give you a good run for your money on a fly rod.

Lake of the woods Kenora Ontario . Ash Rapids lodge is a great place to stay . Northern pike , smallmouth , walleye and muskie . Shoal Lake is catch and release , but you can keep what you eat each day .

Best time to book is mid to late june . Fly in to Winnipeg and they picked us up at the airport, It's a 120 mile ride to the landing .

I would rent a boat , don't take your boat and be careful , many rocks and shallow hazards . We fished ned-rig and caught 85 smallmouth one day .

I took this from the website . You can do the three day guided and stay in your budget .
