North Seal River Lodge

In Canada, at about 58°N and 99°W, is a fishing lodge called North Seal River. It’s owned and operated by the Gangler family who have been doing this sort of thing for more than 20 years. What they do is offer a deluxe facility with over 7,200 square miles of fishing territory for some of the world’s best Pike, Grayling, Walleye and Lake trout angling. The NSRL accommodates 24 guests only, in beautiful wood cabins that allow you the privacy and comfort you would expect and also a view of the wild northern Manitoba country. Here you will see pine and birch forests exploding in the warmth of summer and providing cover for the bears, moose, wolves and home to the eagle and osprey. But it’s the fishing that grabs your attention and for many catching trophy Northern Pike and the other mentioned fresh water fish are just the sort of confirmation you needed that you are in a special place. The North Seal River System was born of glaciers and formed 12 waterways and over 100 lakes. You will have the opportunity to fly out to some real virgin areas on Gangler’s DeHavilland Otter or Beaver for an extremely reasonable day of adventure. Getting to NSRL is easy, after an overnight in Winnipeg you are flown straight to the lodge the next day on their private charter flight.
