Our General Manager, Harvey Kroll, works on site at the lodge each summer to ensure that your stay with us is first rate.

After 25 seasons in the Canadian bush (almost half of those years at Hatchet Lake Lodge), Harvey brings a wealth of experience and expertise to our operation, both at the lodge and at our Canadian office in Saskatoon, SK during the winter months. Harvey has extensive lodge management experience and also worked with Saskatchewan Tourism.

Harvey spends time personally with all of our guests during their five day stay. If you need anything, Harvey knows the best way to utilize our staff to meet your needs. From the time you step foot on the dock... to your departure wave goodbye... you're in good hands with Harvey at the helm.

Guides

Every guide at Hatchet Lake Lodge brings a talent, knowledge and love of the sport that makes all the difference in your fishing experience. Our guests frequently comment on the excellence of our guides, and look forward to fishing year after year with guides who have become friends.

Chefs

You might not expect fine dining in the heart of the wilderness, but thanks to the dedication and skill of our chefs, that's exactly what you get. In fact, many guests say they would come to Hatchet Lake Lodge for the food alone!

Hospitality and Maintenance

A pot of piping hot coffee waiting for you when you get up in the morning, a blazing fire in your cabin stove when you return from a brisk day of fishing, perfectly maintained engines and equipment - it's details like this that make a wilderness adventure a luxury vacation. And it's the quality of our staff that makes it all possible.
