A Visit to the Lawrence Bay Resort - An Anglers' ParadiseBoasting an average depth of more than 100 ft, the 180-mile long and 60-mile wide Reindeer Lake is home to some of the best northern pike, trophy lake trout, walleye and arctic grayling in Canada. The lake itself has thousands of islands that along with the mainland create a great number of bays, harboring huge fish. As of 2000 visitors caught the largest amount of northern pike, with 75% of visitors enjoying an average catch of 18-35 lb. fish.
Lawrence Bay Resort also offers great walleye fishing, which can be enjoyed on Reindeer and some of the day lakes easily accessible by float planes. It is a common experience to catch nearly 150 walleyes per boat. The average size of the walleyes in this area ranges from 2 to 6 lb. In addition to northern pike and walleye, visitors can also experience great lake trout fishing and challenge this fighting fish.
The lake trout averages in size from 4-18 lb, while some can reach 20-30 lb. Depending on the season you choose for your vacation at Lawrence Bay Resort, the lake trout can be fished at depths as deep as 70 feet and as shallow as 10 feet. Available at the lake is also arctic grayling, simply referred to as the "sailfish of the north" and considered by many a great trophy because of its beautiful color. Lawrence Bay Lodge has everything to make your fishing vacation exciting and memorable, from great Cree Indian fishing guides and fishing boats to first class equipment. The resort also features two floatplanes: a Beaver and a Cessna, used for the modern outpost camps. Recently 40 horsepower Mercury motors and 18 transom boats have been added to the resort's facilities.
