Wollaston Lake is one of Canada s National Treasures. Wollaston Lake, located in far northeastern Saskatchewan, Canada, is one of the world s natural treasures. Lying just south of the Arctic Circle, this 800-square mile lake is home to some of the largest Northern Pike and Lake Trout found in the world. Walleye and Grayling, in impressive numbers and size, are also found here. It is a wilderness fishing dream. In the world of fishing, only the beauty of the surrounding forests and the warm and friendly atmosphere of Wollaston Lake Lodge can come close to complimenting the quality of the fishing found here. The management and staff have a single goal: to make your Wollaston Experience the most pleasurable and memorable of your life. Not only is our lake a national treasure, but our people are too. The very same friends who fish with us year after year are not only drawn to Wollaston Lake Lodge for it s fishing, but also its people. Our repeat guests have become friends of the Wollaston family over the years. W E L C O M E 2

F I S H I N G Whether you are a baitcaster, spincaster or fly angler, Wollaston is your choice to both hone your skills and test your abilities. Wollaston Lake s 800-square miles of cool, clear water plunges to depths down to 400 feet. Numerous rivers pour highly oxygenated water into the bays. These factors, along with a tremendous forage base which helps our fish grow to such legendary size, provide the perfect habitat for our Northern Pike, Lake Trout, Walleye and Arctic Grayling. These four species make up the Grand Slam of freshwater fishing. It is incredibly rare to find all four of these highly sought after species in the same lake anywhere in the world, much less Saskatchewan. Each of our guides are true professionals and are skilled in all fishing methods. They are more than ready to show you the thrill of learning a new technique. They also know the pure adrenaline rush of fighting a huge fish, and their job is to help you feel it too. 4

We re proud to provide our guests with safe, comfortable and fast transportation on the lake and in the air. Wollaston Lake has a lot of areas to explore with 2,700 miles of shoreline. Each of our guides and his two guests, are provided with an 18-foot custom Lund Pro-V boat. An 80-hp Yamaha 4-stroke quietly gets you where you want to go on the lake smoothly and quickly. The boats come with an extra large casting platform along with wide gunnels. This design, exclusive to Wollaston Lake Lodge, provides an extra large area for casting and fighting those big toothy critters. The boats also come equipped with top of the line Lowrance depth finders and Minn Kota trolling motors, all adding to your ability to get into the big fish. G U I D E S Never fished with a fly rod? No problem, we have high quality equipment here for you to rent while our guides teach the subtle art of fly fishing. We re also equipped with a complimentary fly-tying bench so you can create your own patterns or tie up some of the tried and true producers. All of our guides are also incredible outdoor chefs. Our shore lunches are more than the standard fried and fried. Whet your appetite over a shore lunch of fish or chicken stir fry, or baked Trout, and yes, fried Pike or Walleye. The choice is yours every day. 6
