Scott lake is considered one of the best -- if not the best -- combination trophy pike and lake trout waters in all of Canada. And with fly-out access to some of Canada's largest arctic grayling, a triple-trophy week is definitely within reach.

If you've never battled with a 20 lb.-plus northern, Scott Lake may be your best chance ever. Arguably one of the most voracious, hard-hitting and hard fighting of all fresh water predator fish, Scott Lake pike seem to have an extra mean gene in their genetic makeup. Whether they're exploding out of a crystal clear bay at the end of your fly rod or taking your favorite spoon for a run or two straight for open water, these pike will give you the fight of your life. And all those 20-lb.-plus pike that have been released over the years keep getting bigger. . . and meaner.

Scott Lake's reputation for producing trophy lake trout is solid. Each year more than 300 lake trout over 35" are caught, with several dozen over 40" . A 40" Scott Lake trout is huge. Just look at the girth of the fish pictured in this site. Year in and year out our guests land trophies they'll remember the rest of their lives. And the action is consistent.

Whether you're trolling a dropoff or jigging an abyss, get ready for some exercise because prying these powerful monsters off their lair is no easy task. And judging by the number of lost battles in recent years with the kind of fish that fish stories are made of, we don't expect our 45x28" record to hold up for very long.
