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

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.
