Had an amazing time,,would recommend to anyone. Cannot get 'skunked",catch lots of fish each day. Six of us fished for 4 days and caught and released in excess of 500 fish. Carol,Gary,Kein,Mae are exceptional staff.

Positives: Accomodations are suitable, staff is amazing.

Negatives: Little tricky to get too, definitely off the beaten path. You follow a fairly narrow path for several kms thruogh the bush and all of the sudden the bush opens up and you are there!

It was the fishing experience of a lifetime for my group. We caught 100s of monster north pikes, and countless enormous walleye. The dock guys were very helpful and even cleaned our Jacks! The meals were 5 star. The conference center activities and hot tub make the evenings busy.Accomodations very clean and well appointed. Our group stayed in Eagles Nest as we did do some of our own cooking. We were clearly told if we wanted meals their would be the night before booking required. The new managers Gary and Carol Regular have a facility that rivals the best in the world, let alone Northern Alberta.I know you'll have the fishing experience of a life time by wetting your hook here!!!

Negatives: The road into the facility is very interesting. You need to allow for more when weather isn't great.

The lake was beautiful and the fishing excellent. The accomodations, while very nice and clean, were a bit pricey and we found the service lacking, especially if you were staying the the Eagle's nest cabins. No where is it explained that if you did not make arrangements the night before, you could not get breakfast. There was only one family besides us there and when we went to the dining room in the morning we were told that they had only prepped for 4. But we were welcome to have coffee. We waited almost a half hour to get our bill and at that time the cook came out and said that they "had left overs from the other family and we were welcome to that". Ah, sorry but no thanks. At $720 for 2 days you would think they could afford a few extra eggs. The real highlight was the fishing and the friendly service from Isiac. He was a peach.
