After all, you too, are part of our legendary Kasba Style and the evolving Kasba Story....hidden like a jewel in the land of the midnight sun... KASBA STORY 30 years ago, standing on the edge of Wollaston Lake in northern Saskatchewan, Doug Hill gazed towards the vast tracts of untouched wilderness to the north. Doug had a dream...to bring the incredible trophy fishing and remote wilderness of Canada s Arctic within reach of anglers in the southern towns and cities of Canada and the United States. After several exploratory flights in his trusty bush plane, with young sons Rob and Mike diligently casting off the floats to test the waters, Doug settled on Kasba Lake, a huge fish filled jewel of turquoise water, tundra covered islands, and forested shores in Canada s fabled Northwest Territories. It was here, under the midnight sun and northern lights, that Doug found a peace and solitude unlike any place he had ever been. One hundred fifty miles north of the nearest road, totally remote and completely untouched by the hand of modern man, Kasba Lake promised future guests not only great fishing but a true wilderness experience.
