Smalltree Lake


With our fly out destinations we offer fishing on over a quarter of a million acres of productive water spread over a 5,000 square mile area—that’s a real backyard.

There is only one thing about Smalltree that isn't wonderful: it's a long ways from the lodge. The flight requires nearly an hour but in the judgment of just about everyone who has fished the lake, it's time well spent.

Smalltree has produced a tremendous number of trophy pike including a 50.5" monster in 2006. It is a shallow lake, part of the same river system (the Dubawnt) as Ivanhoe, Labyrinth and Sandy-all first rate fisheries. Smalltree however is blessed with an abundance of cabbage and other aquatic vegetation that concentrate pike.

Early season finds pike at Smalltree in literally inches of water. Scenically it is clearly at the top of our list, with a dramatic sand ridges and true to its name a distinctively tundra feel.
