Kasba Lake has developed a

reputation as one of the finest

fisheries in the world for Lake Trout,

Northern Pike and Arctic Grayling.

With 70% repeat customers - some

for over 30 years - Kasba Lake Lodge

has an outstanding reputation. Not

only because of the superb fishing

but thanks to the “style” in which the

trip takes place. The “Kasba Style” is

a result of returning professional staff,

new equipment, outstanding facilities

and exceptional service. Experience

the difference between just another

fishing trip and a really memorable

fishing adventure at Kasba Lake.

If you like Pike and/or Lake Trout fishing, this place is what you want. As a bonus, Artic Grayling of 2-3+ pounds is available. My son caught over 100 Northern Pike (I caught 20!!) in one day of fishing at a nearby optional fly-in. The Pike ranged from 24 inches to the largest at 42 inches. Average size was about 32 inches with 10 in the 36+ range. We saw Pike there pushing the 48 mark. We caught numerous Lakers in the 16 pound range and some other fishermen/ women landed 30+ pounders. This lodge offers superior fishing, excellent guides, great food and very good service from a friendly staff. If you listen to your guide's suggestiions, you should have a fantastic trip.

“3rd trip to Kasba- -It only gets better!!”

RATED #1 SPECIALTY LODGE

Kasba Lodge is a great place to go fishing as a spin or fly

fishing angler. However, as a fly fisherman there are great

fishing experiences available to you and if you go prepared

for such an opportunity you will never forget this trip.

“Great Experience”

mackm82(stayed July 2015)

... for even more adventure.

K A Z A N R I V E R C A M PKasba offers a 5, 7 or 9 day river trip at our Kazan River outpost. Located 37 miles north

of Kasba Lake along the Canadian Heritage Kazan River, this outpost offers an incomparable

light-tackle or fly-fishing experience that appeals to the rugged individual. Plenty of

Northern Pike, Arctic Grayling and Lake Trout are abundant and accessible, and the entire

river is easily navigated by boat. It is a pristine area; this entire stretch of water sees fewer

than forty fishermen a year. For those looking for a fantastic light tackle or fly fishing

experience, the Kazan River Outpost simply cannot be beat.

Fly in to Tabane Lake on our DHC 2 Beaver

float plane where the Kazan River Camp

awaits you. This package includes a wood

frame cabin that accommodates four people

comfortably, with a screened-in porch, gas

heat, hot shower, flush-toilet, gas stove,

fridge, food, linens, a satellite phone and a 16'

deep V boat with a 20 hp out-board and fuel.

The Kazan River Camp price includes round trip airfare from Winnipeg, Canada.

. . . generat ions of great f ishing

Over 40 years ago, Doug Hill pined for the vast tracts of untouched Arctic wilderness - true wilderness - a place free of roads, telephone poles, tanker trucks - even neighbors. Doug had a dream to bring the incredible fishing and remote wilderness of Canada’s Arctic within reach of anglers in the southern regions of Canada and the U.S.A.

After several exploratory bush plane flights, with young sons Rob and Mike diligently casting off the floats to test the waters, Doug settled on Kasba Lake - a huge, fish-filled jewel, with tundra-covered islands and forested shores in Canada’s fabled Northwest Territories. And it was here, under the midnight sun and northern lights, that Doug found a peace and solitude unlike any place he had ever been. One hundred fifty miles north of the nearest road, Kasba Lake promised future guests not only great fishing but a true wilderness experience.

In 1975, the first fishermen landed at a “rustic” Kasba Lake Lodge and the fishing was legendary. Fishermen started coming from far and wide to experience its extraordinary fishing and unique arctic beauty. To protect the fishery Doug took the revolutionary step of instituting a ‘Catch and Release’ policy - the first of its kind in Canada.

Over the years the little lodge grew, adding modern amenities and state-of-the-art equipment. Kasba developed a unique style all its own. Maybe it was Kasba’s remoteness, or the generations of Hill family traditions which cultivated the famous ‘Kasba Style’, either way, all of us at Kasba Lake Lodge sincerely hope you can relax and enjoy the unique spirit and beauty of Kasba Lake. After all, you too are part of the evolving Kasba Style.

ACCOMMODATIONS

KASBA CUISINE... SIMPLY THE BEST!

After a full morning of fishing, our Kasba guides will prepare a shoreline lunch. Whether it’s baked Hawaiian or Honey Mustard Trout, this delicious feast -- and shared stories about the morning -- will create unforgettable memories. After hours of ‘strenuous’ fishing, what could be more inviting than a sumptuous dinner in the Karibou Grill’s warm and relaxing atmosphere?

Our Kasba Chef will prepare a five-star gourmet dinner and different enticing dessert every night. Delicious entrees will make your mouth water and please the most discriminating palate. And wind down the day’s activities over a relaxing cocktail and tasty appetizers while comparing fish stories in Kasba’s Fish Tales Lounge.

Our private cottages are modern, clean and spacious. Most are equipped with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. You’ll have a great rest in our comfy beds snuggled under a down-filled comforter and we’re pleased to provide daily maid service. Kasba Lake Lodge is wheel-chair access friendly.

FUN, ENTERTAINMENTEnjoy your evenings how you like them...

Connect with your friends or make new ones in the Fish Tales Lounge -- fully stocked for your pleasure -- or just enjoy some quiet time. Revel in our magnificent sunsets, and for those who just haven’t had enough, you can test your skills further with a little evening fishing at no extra charge.

Wondering about the world outside? There’s satellite TV (with DVD) and internet access service.

Whatever your choice for the evening, there is always music, fun and plenty of fish tales to be shared.
