Caribou Hunting from our Sister Lodge at Flowers River, Labrador.
Great Northerns, Slough Sharks, Jackfish, Pike... So is trophy trout not enough for you? Fantastic!!!

Whatever name you call them they are big and mean at Igloo Lake.

Even without our trout we could still offer outstanding, world-class fishing with just our Northern Pike!

The northern pike is the ultimate freshwater predator! This fish was designed for one thing...Attacking smaller fish!!! It's sleek body built for speed, it's vise-like jaws to engul it's prey, and teeth... Anyone looking at those teeth just knows what these bruisers were created for !!!


Brook trout are native to eastern regions of Canada and the U.S. Over the past 100 years they have been introduced to many rivers, streams and lakes throughout North America, including southwestern Alberta. These fish are chars and are closely related to bull trout. Sometimes, anglers mistake brook trout for bull trout, or vise-versa.

Brookies are one of the most beautifully colored fish found in Labrador trout waters. Their back is generally green in color, with pale worm-like markings called vermiculations extending slightly down the sides. Unlike bull trout, brookies have dark markings on the dorsal fin. Numerous pale yellow spots cover the brookies sides, along with fewer red spots encircled by blue halos. The belly color may vary, depending on the time of year, from creamy white to orange-red, crimson or black. The lower fins will often be bright orange or red, with a black stripe beneath a white stripe on the leading edge. These colors can be quite vivid, particularly in spawners. Spawning males develop a hooked lower jaw or "kype". The tail is square-like, with little forked appearance.

Brook trout are prolific spawners and will often overpopulate a stream, pond or lake. When this occurs, fish become stunted; they will be small and thin, with heads disproportionately large in relation to their body size. Unlike other trout species, brookies are able to spawn directly in a lake environment, providing there are upwelling springs to aerate eggs. Spawning occurs in the fall.
