Northern Pike Fishing At Blachford Lodge Northwest Territories

Northern Pike Fishing At Blachford Lodge Northwest Territories

A Week in the NWT at Blachford Lodge

"Blachford lake did not fail to disappoint, it exceeded my expectations"

Outstanding Pike Fishery
Any fish can be a trophy in any angler's opinion however the standard in the fishing industry would be considered a 40" Pike (approximately 15 - 20+lbs) or a Lake Trout to be 35" (12 - 18 lbs).

Within the first day we caught a 43" and 45" Pike and many from the 37-40" size class. I personally have guided for Pike in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and was absolutely blown away at the size and mass of these fish here in Blachford lake.

They are extremely aggressive as they have little to no pressure with Blachford Lake Lodge being the only place on the entire lake. The bigger fish over 40" in this time of year can tend to be quite skinny and long.... but not here. These fish were very thick from nose to tail and were committing to the baits like they have never seen a lure in their life.

The most fun Pike fishing after the Spring Spawn would be in any angler's opinion fishing them out of weed beds. This lake has no shortage of shallow and deep Wide Leaf Cabbage. An ideal habitat for big Pike.
