| We
realize that picking a fishing trip can
be exciting yet frustrating at the same time. So many
choices. What’s the best trip for me? We’d like to point out why
we’re different from other lodges. Established
in 1985, Gangler's has long been recognized as the benchmark
for extraordinary Canadian fishing trips. Gangler's North Seal
River Lodge and outposts were opened in 1998 and is the third
lodge / fishery we have developed in our 20 years. Why the North
Seal? We already had developed two very successful lodges and
could have easily have stayed where we were. However, the  North
Seal was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity simply too special to pass
up.
The North Seal River area was the last undeveloped
Canadian fishery below the treeline, almost 200 miles from the closest
road. There are no other lodges in this area, no roads, and no commercial
fishing. Our exclusive allocation stretches over 7200 sq. miles,
a unique area where 12 river systems merge to form over 100 lakes
and merge with one of Canada's greatest rivers, the North Seal. The
fishery is truly special - offering Canada's finest opportunity to
enjoy trophy fishing for the Canadian Grand Slam (northern pike,
lake trout, walleye, and arctic grayling) in one setting. The waters
are comfortable and diverse, ranging in size from 6 to over 20 miles
long, offering protected water with no long boat rides.
At the same time, a great fishery is only as good as
the outfitter who develops it. Our reputation is founded on 18 years
of experience and  referral and another 10 as guests. Yes, well before
we became outfitters, we were guests ourselves, with Canadian trips
an annual family tradition. Along with great fishing, we recognized
the other important intangibles- warmth, atmosphere , first-class
equipment and accommodations - that create a truly memorable trip
! It is with all of these intangibles in mind that we designed our
first operation.
One extremely important intangible is size. Many Canadian
lodges hold 40,50, even 60 people. As nice as they may be, it just
doesn't make sense to us to fly to a remote camp just to settle in
with another horde of people. If leaving the dock in the morning
resembles rush hour in Chicago, where's the magic?
At Ganglers, we have made size limit a priority and
our philosophy is to keep our camps small. By limiting the main lodge
to only 24 guests and the outposts to 8 each, each guest is ensured
the personalized attention he or she deserves. Each camp is designed
to be unique in layout and flavor and all accommodations are 5 star
and recognized as the finest in the North.
This is the story behind Ganglers. An outstanding fishery,
run by a family of outfitters with a proven record of providing Canada's
finest fishing trips. Quality, quantity, variety in a first-class
setting. Dream a little bigger.....And then let us turn it
into reality.
Getting here - It’s Quick & Convenient
We’ve
taken the hassle out of fishing in the far North. Guests depart for
Ganglers Lodges early Saturday morning in our private charter from
Winnipeg, Manitoba directly to our main lodge. Occasionally there
is a brief stop in Thompson. The charter lands on our 5300’ airstrip
behind the camp. Main lodge guests are served lunch and can be out
on the lake before noon. Outpost guests are only a short float plane
trip away to their respective camps. Getting home is even easier.
Guests traveling to most U.S. destinations are home the same day
from departing camp. Convenient travel is part of our commitment
to your trip – making it that much more enjoyable.

NORTH SEAL RIVER
LODGE– WITHOUT
COMPARE.
“Amazing!” is
the expression most often heard when first-time guests
enter the main lodge. It is simply as grand as they come with
a classic Northwoods charm. It’s over 4200 sq. ft and features
a pool table, card table, TV/VCR, ping pong table, tackle room,
complimentary fly table, and the rustic Timberwolf bar. The cabins
are just as spectacular. Each features a beautiful sitting area,
screened-in porch, comfortable beds, thermostatically controlled
heat, TV/VCR, and one full bath for every two guests. Four person
cabins feature a private bath off each bedroom and an additional
table area with seating for four.
The
most amazing thing about Gangler’s North Seal River Lodge
is that it is limited to ONLY 24 guests per week. It’s
a warm, intimate setting, with personalized attention to every
facet of your trip. To ensure this is an unrivaled staff to guest
ratio of 1:1—each staff member dedicated to your satisfaction.
But a great lodge has to be matched by an outstanding
fishery. The main lodge offers exclusive access to over 22 lakes sprawled over
our vast area. This includes our unique mechanized portages. These lakes range
in size from 6 miles long to over 20, ensuring you’ll never suffer long,
bone-crunching  boat
rides. Most feature all four species, and many are fished only a few days a
year, guaranteeing a truly virgin fishery. A spectacular lodge. Beautiful cabins.
Personalized service. And world-class fishing. At Gangler’s
North Seal River Lodge, we know what it takes to make your trip an unforgettable
one.
5-Star Service 
The fact that we limit our guests
to 24 per week allows our people to truly be dedicated to the satisfation
of our guests. Every detail is attended to by our staff to ensure
your trip will be comfortable. From 6am til 10pm our staff tirelessly
clean, cook, adjust equipment, load and unload planes, move supplies,
serve meals and drinks and so on. We want to make sure all your
needs are met – even those needs you didnt think you'd have. Got
a special request? Feel free to ask and we will do our best to
accomodate you.
5-Star Dining
If you haven't dined at the North Seal River Lodge this
past year then you missed the delicious meals newly introduced to
the Ganglers menu by Tom Duncan. From apricot glazed
cornished  hens to herb encrusted leg of lamb with rosemary potatoes
or the perfectly cooked prime rib with a maki style cucumber wrapped
salad. Absolutly the best hearty, well prepared American fare, served at a fishing lodge.
The ‘Ultimate’ fishing menu
With its combination of
fishing quality and diversity, Gangler’s North Seal River Lodge has been
described by many guests as ‘The Ultimate fishing menu.’ Start with
our vision of the main lodge. We specifically designed NSRL as a small, exclusive
lodge where guests are treated to the personal attention and detail that has
become our hallmark. Limited to only 24 anglers per week, the main lodge’s
exclusive fishing grounds stretch over 7200 sq. miles. Home to over a hundred
lakes and twelve river systems, the choices are endless. Each body of water has
its own distinct character, its own distinct legacy. Most of the lakes range
in size from 6 to 20 miles long, offering great angling with no long, bone-crunching
boat rides, allowing maximum time spent fishing, not traveling. The menu begins
with access to sprawling Egenolf Lake, a major junction of the North Seal. For
fly-outs, we have boats on over 17 different lakes, assuring all of the water
remains incredible and as close to virgin as possible. Some of these lakes may
only see six anglers a year! We even have a camp in the Barrenlands near the
Manitoba/Nunavut border. New for 2003 was the addition of our mechanized portages
to Blackfish and Minihuik Lakes. These trips are no extra charge and have proven
extremely popular. They are a unique adventure all their own ! Main lodge guests
now have over 22 different lakes via portage or fly-outs at their beck-and-call.
Main lodge guests can now fish 6 different lakes each week with our regular trip
package. No other lodge in the North offers this diversity and selection in their
regular package. 6 different lakes in 6 days. Ganglers - the ULTIMATE Canadian
angling experience.
