History
|
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. |
"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
