An Incredible Fly-In Trophy Fishing Experience

Experience-header-pic

It won’t be long before the roads end and all you see are pine trees for miles, flowing rivers, and endless Lake Winnipeg... and you realize you are in God’s country. 1 hour and 15 minutes later you glide through the clouds to a 3600 foot all-weather landing strip and see a 16-mile-long lake with buildings nestled along the shore. You finally see what “remote” is all about.

  • 75 minute flight

  • 16 mile long lake

  • 75 islands

Walk right off the plane a short distance to the Lodge
and enjoy a tasty breakfast while your bags are brought into camp. After breakfast, grab your gear and head off to the dock where your experienced guide will get you started on your once-in-a-lifetime fishing adventure.

Your Trip To And From The Lodge

Your trip starts in Winnipeg where our expeditor greets you as you arrive by either airplane or car. Direct flights and interstate highways get you quickly and easily straight into Winnipeg. We help you find your hotel and also provide transportation to the private hangar for your 5:30am departure to Budd’s Gunisao Lake Lodge. After a 75-minute flight, you literally walk off your chartered aircraft and enjoy a fresh breakfast at the Lodge.
As you are eating, your bags are unloaded from the planes and taken to the Lodge. After breakfast, grab your gear and take a short walk to the dock where your experienced guide will get you started on your once-in-a-lifetime fishing adventure!

  • You’ll be fishing by 8 a.m. on your
    first morning at the Lodge

  • Your flight to and from the Lodge
    is a short 75 minutes

  • After your return flight, you’ll be
    in Winnipeg by 9:30 a.m.

After a good night’s rest, wake up and on the last day of your trip and enjoy breakfast before you fly back to Winnipeg for a 9:30 a.m. arrival. This gives you time to load up your car or head back on a commercial flight at 12 noon or later, and get you home in plenty of time to sleep in your own bed that night. We fly directly from Winnipeg and land on our private air strip, so you can enjoy all the advantages of a remote lake with less time traveling to get there.
