“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.

Kasba offers a 5, 7 or 9 day river trip at our Kazan River outpost.

ACCOMMODATIONS

K A S B A S TY L E is...

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.

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.

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.

FUN, ENTERTAINMENT

Enjoy your evenings how you like them...

KASBA CUISINE... SIMPLY THE BEST!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

WE KNOW THERE ARE OTHER FISHING LODGES, SO HERE IS A LIST OF QUESTIONS WE SUGGEST YOU ASK TO ENSURE YOU GET THE ADVENTURE YOU EXPECT:

K A S B A I S . . . like no other

Nowhere else in North America can you land 50 yards away from your own private cabin, step into a fully equipped fishing boat with a world class guide, and begin the most unforgettable fishing experience.

Is there now or has there ever been Commercial Fishing on the lake? Is a long bus ride required to get to the lodge from the airstrip? Is a boat ride needed to get to the lodge from the airstrip? Is the lodge located on a lake with road access? What size is the lake?

Kasba Lake Lodge is located in the temperate sub-arctic of Canada’s Northwest Territories, north of the Manitoba- Saskatchewan border, 400 miles from the Arctic Circle. Kasba specializes in triple-trophy, catch and release fishing of Northern Pike, Arctic Grayling and Lake Trout. Kasba Lake boasts 1500 square miles of pristine and unspoiled natural beauty that has never been commercially fished.

Is it advisable to take expensive fly-outs? Where are the guides from? How long has the current operator been in business?

“Trip of a life time”

“Best Trip EVER!”

Could not ever duplicate this experience from the staff to the accommodations and the fishing. Truly a trip of a life time. I could not have been a part of something so unique and amazing as my time in Kasba lake. Truly
I took my three sons fishing for four days to Kasba Lake Lodge. The entire experience was completely over-the-top. Great lodge, great food, great adventure. The Hill family exceeded every expectation! the vortex.
