Words cannot describe a trip to Hatchet Lake Lodge.
If you dream of fishing the fresh waters of Northern Saskatchewan, Hatchet Lake Lodge is the place to do it! Harvey, Clay and the staff are so genuine and they truly are the heart of HLL. Customer service is their top priority and they worry about the details so you don't have to. We LOVED our stay and made a ton of memories that will last our lifetime. Thank you so much Harvey, Clay, Chelsea, Wendy, and all the rest for an amazing 2022 stay! - Alana Marjoram |
“My first trip to Hatchet Lake Lodge included extraordinary customer service, amazing shore lunches, gourmet dining and peaceful; majestic vistas. And, thanks to my guide, Ray, I caught my biggest fish ever! I loved the fly outs too. I am hooked.... we already booked next year's trip! See you all then!”

We had the fishing trip of a lifetime at Hatchet AGAIN. Our group of seven caught over 1000 fish in 4 days. Over half were over 30 inch northerns and several were over 40 inches. HUGE Lake Trout and Walleyes were pulled in too. The accommodations, food and service couldn't have been better. The Staff at all levels were outstanding and genuinely seemed to enjoy being there and taking care of us. I can't wait until I can fish there again.

My husband and I were at Hatchet Lake Lodge in June of this year (2018). Not being much of a 'fisher person', I had only planned on fishing one or two days to humour my husband. I thought I would spend the rest of the time relaxing around the lodge. However, I enjoyed myself so much that I was out fishing every day, all day long! My perseverance was rewarded on the final day when I caught a 48" Northern Pike! What a thrill!
Wendy, our hostess and her staff were so friendly and helpful, as was the dock staff. Our guide James was great - patient, helpful and fun. - Carolyn Reid |
Although billed as the fresh water fishing experience of a lifetime, your 4 days on this remote lake in northern Saskatchewan are much more than you imagined. You know you are in a special place as your plane touches down on the private gravel airstrip.
All of your tackle & gear are whisked away by a “crew” of young guys led by Clay who will make sure it is always where you want it - in your cabin and with your guide as each day on the water begins. Within an hour of landing, breakfast is served, as much as you wish by a small group of devoted young ladies led by Wendy. The butter dripping cinnamon bun is to die for. Your cabin is rustic but very functional and who can object to hot coffee delivered every morning. The guides are mostly native Cree & Dene who speak English and will assist you with your tackle rigs, putting you where the trophy fish are and preparing a fresh fish shore lunch, rain or shine. And don't dismiss a chance to fly out by seaplane to fish other nearby lakes. It’s a truly memorable experience made possible by Harvey, Clay, ladies, the crew and guides together. You won’t be disappointed. - David Marsh |
“Thank you very much for the wonderful time at Hatchet Lake Lodge! The weather, food and fishing were superb. To be honest I have had those things be great at other lodges too. One thing that HLL offers that others do not is the amazing people! You truly have some of the best staff that I have ever seen. The personal touches performed by each individual is truly what sets you apart from the rest of the pack!! Thanks for being awesome!”

“Dear Harvey & Staff, I want to thank you for the incredible service and care that you provided to all of us, especially my father when we were up there this past season. Dad even made the comment to me that he felt all of you went beyond what is normally done to care for him. All of us boys, and my cousin really appreciated the time and attention you gave to him.
We all feel very blessed to come up there and enjoy your hospitality, the family time and the memories are for a lifetime, and the fishing is excellent. Dad said the other day, 'Heck, they made it so easy; I think I have another trip in me.' That would be an answer to prayer!
Again, Thank you for all that you have done for us!”

“Harvey, we just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our stay at Hatchet Lake this year. Linda and I really enjoyed it. The guys at the dock were great and very nice, they didn't want us to do a thing but enjoy ourselves. And as for the ladies in the main lodge, they were absolutely fantastic. Of course I can't go on without saying that you, Wendy and Taylor were fantastic also. It just wouldn't be Hatchet Lake Lodge without you guys. We'll see you again next year.”
