 Egenolf Lake

> Four Trophy Species of fish
> 4 adjacent lakes to fish

Our main lake, Egenolf, home of the North Seal River Lodge and its surrounding four portage lakes. All these lakes have received numerous rave reviews from the media and our guests.

(4 adjacent lakes described below)

 Egenolf Lake Portages


Blackfish Lake -
Our guests just can’t seem to get enough of Blackfish and for that matter, neither could the folks from In-Fisherman Magazine and Walker’s Cay Chronicles TV. This large, maze-like lake has so much to explore, and with consistent numbers of pike and lake trout over 40", one day just never seems like enough. We will be adding an overnight camp in 2002 to further the exploration.

Dillabough Lake -
After dinner, most guests are ready to relax at the Wilderness Bar or kick back and enjoy a game of pool. But there are those few who venture out to add another trophy to their war chest. Dillabough Lake offers such an option and is an unique alternative to going back out onto Egenolf Lake. A short ride from the North Seal River Lodge, keep Dillabough in mind as another after dinner option. 		East Lake -
This lake is located , of course, just East of the lodge and is a quick 5-7 minute boat ride from the lodge. It is rarely fished because of the 20 minute walk it requires to reach this portage. It is a lake that is red hot or luke warm action depending on the day. But if you get the right day you will have your pickings of the best East lake has to offer. Which make the adventure of the trek worth it.

Minihuik Lake -
To the northwest of Egenolf , Minihuik always seems to demand repeat visits from our guests. We’re not sure, but we think it might have something to do with the phenomenal fishing for all four species. For those who are feeling frisky, Minihuik is also available as a drive-in portage. The ride in the polaris is about 15 minutes and is a beautiful breath taking experience in itself.

Alyward Lake -

Atimkameskak Lake -
A true wilderness lake that’s easier to enjoy than it is to pronounce. It became an instant legend when the first two guests to fish it shattered the Manitoba record for most Master Angler fish in a day with an amazing 41 trophies. From the fishing we’ve seen to date, that record could be broken again!

Belsham Lake -
Part of the Johnson river system which leads into Bain and walleye fishing at its absolute finest! 100-200 fish days are common and walleyes average 22”-28”. North Seal variety at its finest. Five minutes North of the walleye spot is an amazing lake trout hole , five minutes South great pike water. We’re just scratching the surface of this amazing lake.

Canfield Lake -
Test-fished in 2004, will be open for 07. Outstanding pike action –size and numbers. Can’t wait to explore this in 07.

Clisby Lake -
A little secret, barely more than a widening of the Fergus river system. Huge pike, including some of the largest we have ever seen.

Collister Lake -
While the North Seal River system offers some of the best fishing in the world, we’ll understand if you want to venture out to Collister. Collister Lake is part of the Laurilla River System, which flows from Stevens-Nicklin to the North Seal. Virtually un-fished in 2001 it awaits you completely untapped, begging to be explored by you and your guide.

 Copeland Lake -
One of the last big lakes on the North Seal as it winds its way to the Hudson Bay. Copeland is a consistent producer of big, trophy pike and huge trout. It’s one of our guests’ favorite fly outs. This lake offers great pike structure with its weedy bays and rocky islands that have rows of weed beds for a pike ambush. Try to pull yourself away from the pike and trout and you’ll find excellent fishing for walleye and grayling.

Firman Lake -
A small jewel of a lake, Firman lies nestled between two beautiful sand eskers. It is absolutely loaded with fat walleye and the big pike that feed on them.

Fergus Lake -
Also known as Chornoux, this lake is one of the chain of lakes that make up the Fergus river system. Newly opened in 06, with great pike fishing and phenomenal walleye. Barely fished in 06.

Grimes Lake -
Shallow flats and large weed beds present the experienced angler with a bountiful challenge. The rewards on Grimes have been sizable, with numerous trophy pike, walleye and lakers reported. You’ll be telling your grandchildren about the fish you’ll catch here.

Lunney Lake -
Great pike lake, south of Egenolf, rarely fished. Dan Blanton and Lefty Kreh had their best day ever of pike fishing here.

Mistahi Lake -
When it’s on, our hottest big pike lake. Lots of fish 32”-44” and bigger, and lake trout too.

McDennon Lake -
A beautiful jewel situated on one of our southern river systems. Pristine settings and prime habitat make this one of our personal favorites for big pike and excellent walleye action

Neekik Lake -
A little honey-hole 30 miles SW of Egenolf, full of big pike and absolutely loaded with walleye. Test-fishing in 2006 couldn’t find a spot in the lake where you couldn’t catch fish !

No Name Lake -
Only 80 miles from Egenolf, on the Manitoba/Nunavut border, No-Name is a gateway to a world unlike any other. Situated in the stark yet beautiful Barrenlands, it is home to big pike, lake trout, grayling and the occasional stray caribou herd.

North Seal River -
A huge portion of the Seal, almost like four inter-connected lakes. Prime habitat for all four species – you never know what you have on the end of the line !

Slyszuk Lake -
A long, skinny piece of water with big, fat fish - including pike, lake trout and grayling. Slyszuk is part of a large watershed that runs alongside the Robertson Esker into Blackfish and the North Seal. It hosts some absolutely breathtaking scenery and the numerous bays here never disappoint.

Sprott Lake -
One of our newest fly outs with an already devoted following. Dynamite action and size on big pike, walleye, and lake trout.

Whitmore Lake -
As part of an ongoing commitment to exploration and guest satisfaction, we continually test fish new lakes. When we sent a guide out to Whitmore in ’98, he came back promising to quit if we didn’t open up this incredible piece of water. The southwest end of this lake is completely breathtaking and unique, looking more like a scene out of the Canadian Rockies.
