About

Recently celebrating 55 years in Business, Hatchet Lake Lodge is a well established, freshwater trophy fishing destination located in northern Saskatchewan, Canada.

With 5000 miles of pristine open waters, teeming with trophy northern pike, trophy lake trout, trophy Canadian walleye and arctic grayling, Hatchet Lake Lodge will give you the fishing adventure of a lifetime, every time!

“The country-club of fishing,” is how guests describe our operation. Hatchet Lake lodge strives on providing each guest with an experience of a lifetime! Landing on our own private airstrip when you arrive and boating only 5 minutes to our three story lodge located on a private island. Everyday your experienced native guide will take you to their hot spots to land your trophies.
​
When you return off the lake, you will perhaps join us in our lounge for cocktails, delicious appetizers and great company!

To end each day, our chefs prepare a home-cooked, hearty meal for our guests. Just like grandma used to make!

History

Picture
It all began when a young man by the name of George Fleming emigrated from Scotland to work for the Hudson’s Bay Company. George had a dream of building a world class operation. He certainly succeeded and brought Saskatchewan Canada with it along the way.

Sadly in 2011, George Fleming, “The Man from Hatchet” had passed and the company was left in the hands of Harvey Kroll, A long time friend and colleague of George. Harvey and George worked side by side managing and operating Hatchet Lake Lodge for over 20 years together.

In 2012, Hatchet Lake Lodge teamed with northern airline company, Osprey Wings Ltd. The two were a perfect match and have been successfully working together for several years. We use Osprey Wings Ltd. to fly our guests to and from the lodge as well as one of their float planes to fly guests to our many surrounding fly-out lakes.

"People come here to experience the fishing. But it’s also a very peaceful, beautiful place where they can get closer to nature.. closer to God, maybe… and closer to themselves, to think why they’re here. And where they’re going.”

- GEORGE FLEMING
