Guide Team

It's not easy being a Scott Lake Lodge guide. Many are called but few are chosen. We need guides who can do more than just find fish. They have to be: competent navigators (learning over a half million acres of water isn't easy), accomplished wilderness cooks, entertaining communicators, comfortable using complex GPS and fish locating equipment, infinitely patient and yes, fun to be with. You will spend about 10 hours a day with your guide and we want to make sure each of those hours is both productive and enjoyable. We are very proud of the team we have assembled in this remote wilderness. Each member of the group has the knowledge, dedication and communication skills needed to assure that your time on the water is both memorable and enjoyable. They understand that their job is giving each angler the trip of their dreams. All have specialized first aid training, including CPR, and all are certified by the Saskatchewan Outfitters Association. Safety is their top priority. Each guide has an FM radio, a first aid kit, and proper emergency gear. Planning and preparation are part of their daily routine. Regular team meetings ensure that all guide members know the where and when of fish activity as well as the how. Inexperienced anglers can be assured that teaching casting skills (spin, bait cast or fly) and general fishing skills is something our guides actually enjoy. Even first time anglers get into fish. Our commitment at Scott is to provide every angler with a guide who will give 100% every hour of every day. It's simply how we do things here.
