Minor Bay Lodge offers top-drawer service, comfortable accommodations, quality equipment and matchless dining experiences in a pristine wilderness setting.

Wollaston Lake, located in the wilds of Saskatchewan’s rugged northern frontier, is home to Minor Bay Lodge. Wollaston Lake has long been renowned for its unparalleled trophy pike fishery—Canada’s freshwater barracuda.

Minor Bay Lodge offers top-drawer service, comfortable accommodations, quality equipment and matchless dining experiences in a pristine wilderness setting. To quote first-time guest Larry Seidler of San Francisco: “Wollaston Lake is an incredible place, and Minor Bay Lodge was very well run. My guide was one of the best guides I have ever had in twenty-five years of fly fishing. I shall certainly return…”

The mantra in real estate is “location, location, location!” The same applies to fishing lodges. Minor Bay is ideally situated in a sheltered bay located on the southwest shoreline of Wollaston Lake—right in the heart of prime trophy fish habitat. Wollaston’s south end holds the majority of the lake’s structure, with numerous shallow bays, rocky points, large cabbage weed beds, and rivers and streams flowing into the lake. This prime fish habitat is only a short boat ride from Minor Bay Lodge, meaning guests don’t have to endure long boat rides or fly out to enjoy spectacular trophy fishing.

Minor Bay’s professional guides’ focus is on providing their guests with the best angling experience possible. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned angler; prefer fly fishing, bait casting, or spinning tackle; the lodge’s experienced, professional guides, with their intimate knowledge of Wollaston’s sport fish—be it monster pike, lake trout, walleye or Arctic grayling—will elevate your fishing vacation into a sublime experience.

Whether sight fishing the shallow bays right after ice-out or position casting over weed beds during Wollaston’s brief summer, Minor Bay Lodge’s guests have enjoyed unsurpassed success in their quest for trophy quality pike. Pike in excess of 50 inches in length and weighing more than 40 pounds have been caught and released by both novice and experienced anglers alike.

Minor Bay Lodge’s American-Plan fishing adventures originate and terminate in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. While Minor Bay is remote, it is nevertheless readily accessible from all major U.S. cities, with Delta Airlines and Air Canada/United servicing Saskatoon with several flights daily. From Saskatoon, it’s a pleasant 1¾-hour flight on the lodge’s private charter to an airport located near the lodge.

The lodge’s capacity has been intentionally limited to just 20 guests to ensure personalized, friendly service, a relaxed atmosphere, and limited fishing pressure. With exceptional staff, facilities, and equipment, as well as an outstanding natural resource, Minor Bay Lodge is the preferred choice for discerning anglers.
