Exclusivity

We are the only lodge on the lake. You will never see another

boat unless it is a fellow guest at the lodge. As a matter of fact

the closest town is over 150 miles away. Our backyard has

over 200,000 acres of lakes, rivers and streams to fish, hunt

and explore.

Personalized Service

We generally cater to only 12-16 fishing guests and 8-10

hunting guests at any one time. This allows us to provide

highly personalized service to each and every guest.

Conservation

We have practised CPR (“catch, photograph and release)

for over 35 years. Long before it was popular to do so.

Modern Amenities

Cozy and well-appointed guest cabins with private 3 piece ensuite.

Fully modern Main Lodge. Chef prepared meals along with friendly

and courteous service. Internet available in both main lodge and

cabins along with free long distance internet phone.

Convenience

Private 4000 ft. airstrip located minutes from the main lodge

allows us to utilize different aircraft for different situations.

Complimentary

Use of quality fishing rods, reels and tackle. Also included -

beverage service, wine with dinner, pop and bottled water.

The Lodge at Little Duck is located in the heart of Northern

Manitoba’s Sub Arctic Wilderness, a fascinating land that has

changed little over time. Enjoy the quality and comforts of our

Northern 5 Star Lodge and all we offer. Over 150 miles separates

us from the closest road or intrusion, making the wilderness

experience at The Lodge at Little Duck even more adventurous.

Located 255 miles straight north of Thompson Manitoba, our

chartered turbo prop aircraft brings you safely to our 4000’

private airstrip.

This is the land of the midnight summer sun, the crystal clear lakes

that are filled with trophy Northern Pike and Lake Trout and the

rivers and streams that are home to Trophy Arctic Grayling.

This magnificent part of Northern Manitoba is also home to the

Qamanirjuaq Caribou Herd that according to the latest survey

is still estimated at well over 450,000 animals. These Central

Barren Ground Caribou have used both our front and backyard

for their annual fall migration for centuries.

No other lodge this far north welcomes its guests to the

convenience and comforts of an all inclusive Northern 5 Star

Lodge complete with chef prepared meals, individual cabin

accommodation featuring private 3 piece ensuite with hot and

cold running water, thermostatically controlled electric heat,

24 hour a day power and a fully modern Main Lodge.

Plain and Simple, The Lodge at Little Duck offers incredible

fishing and hunting adventures, spectacular scenery and

exceptional lodging, meals and service. Our experienced,

dedicated and highly motivated team will provide you with

the friendly and personalized service that will make you want

to return year after year.

Please join us this season at The Lodge at Little Duck for a

“world class” wilderness adventure that will inspire memories

for years to come.

WELCOME.

Why Choose The Lodge at Little Duck?

“Wilderness is

not a luxury, but

a necessity of the

human spirit”Your HostDavid FisherGeneral Manager

What some of our fishing guests are telling us...

Fishing“Whether your

passion is fly-fishing,

casting a lure, or

both, the waters

surrounding The

Lodge at Little Duck

is truly a fisherman’s

paradise.”

The Manitoba Monsters

Fish for Trophy Northern Pike, Lake Trout and Arctic Grayling

at our remote Northern 5 Star Wilderness Lodge.

We are located on the northern shores of Little Duck Lake,

which provides easy access to Neganilini Lake and others via the

Wolverine River System. These waters are virtually untouched

and provide unlimited opportunities to catch Trophy Northern

Pike, Lake Trout and Arctic Grayling. This entire system has it

all, hundreds of miles of shoreline with numerous shallow weedy

bays, deep holes, mid lake reefs, open water structure and fast

moving rivers and streams, providing the ideal structure on any

given day to catch these amazing fish. Guests have battled Pike

up to 52.5”, Lake Trout up to 48” and a Manitoba record 22.5”

Grayling was caught within eyesight of The Lodge.

Whether your passion is fly-fishing, casting a lure, or both,

the waters surrounding The Lodge at Little Duck is truly a

“fisherman’s paradise”.

Over the past 4 decades, The Lodge at Little Duck has been

extremely consistent in the practice of “catch and release”.

With only a few smaller fish being harvested each day for

shorelunch, our vision of protecting a “world class fishery”

through conservation efforts was many years ahead of its

time. The winner of this initiative has always been our guests

who reap the benefits of high numbers of Trophy Fish per

fisherman that are caught on a daily basis.

There is little that can compare to the feeling you will experience

in this untouched wilderness, while fighting a fish of a lifetime.

We hope to have the privilege of hosting your fishing adventure

this year. Given the opportunity, we are confident we can

provide you with a fun, exciting and quality fishing experience.

All you have to do is pick up the phone or send us an e-mail.

We will take care of everything else. That’s our promise to you.

Come and Experience the Incredible

Fishing Adventures that Await you on

Little Duck and Neganilini Lakes and

the Wolverine River System.

Future of fishing at The Lodge at Little Duck.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!! The fishing was outstanding.

The accommodations and staff were excellent. After being here

the year prior, I could really see all the improvements you have

made. I look forward to coming back next year again and “rip

some lips”. Also want to book a caribou hunt with you in 2014!!

While shopping for a new fly fishing adventure at the SCI

Convention, Jessica and I met and talked to Dave Fisher from

The Lodge at Little Duck on the first day of the show. As we

were to learn, Dave runs a high quality operation from top

to bottom starting with efficient pre-trip planning, and on the

ground coordination. Because of my sometimes erratic work

schedule, I was able to connect with Dave at all hours of the

day (not only during business hours) which helped a lot and

was very much appreciated. Although the lodge itself sits in

the middle of the Sub Arctic Wilderness, they make getting here

extremely easy.. The whole fishing experience was way more

than we could ever have anticipated. The accommodations

were very comfortable, the meals were great, and the relaxed

atmosphere made for a very special trip. The only change we

felt was needed over last year was to book our fishing trip

for 9 days this year instead of 7. We will also be adding a few

more guests to this year’s trip, and can’t wait to get up again.

Additionally, we want to book a Caribou or Moose Hunt with

Dave for this fall.

Jeff & Jessica Kimbell, Washington DC

“The fishing was great and the quality and quantity of the

fish is tremendous. The hospitality was exceptional and the

meals were well prepared and delicious. Our guide was very

knowledgeable and made every day extremely fun, interesting

and exciting for us.”

Dave Van Meveren, MN

What some of our hunting guests are telling us...

“Fantastic!!!

This hunt was

everything I was

hoping for and

much more.“Tim Whitney, Chinook MT

Imagine yourself on the open tundra hunting for Trophy

Central Barren Ground Caribou in the middle of the Canadian

Sub Arctic Wilderness. The only thing that might compare

is knowing at the end of the day you are heading back to the

warmth and comfort of a Northern 5 Star Lodge.

Actually, The Lodge at Little Duck is the only full service lodge

that sits in the middle of the annual migration routes of the

Qamanirjuaq Caribou Herd that is estimated at 450,000 animals.

Our Caribou season runs from the first to the fourth week of

September. Traditionally, The Lodge at Little Duck has stayed

open one week longer than most outfitters and although

the weather can sometimes be challenging, the hunting can

be fantastic.

We consider ourselves privileged to have over 500 square miles

of prime Caribou hunting habitat at our disposal. The rolling

landscape is not hard to negotiate and combined with the use

of boats allows us to tailor a hunt to an individual’s preference

or physical ability.

Whether you prefer to hunt with rifle, bow or black powder, we

can put together a world class hunt for you. Hunters return at

the end of the day to a hot shower in the privacy and warmth of

their own cabin. Before settling down to a chef prepared dinner,

everyone gathers in the Main Lodge to share in the adventures

of the day while snacking on freshly prepared appetizers and

sipping ones favourite cocktail.

We also offer the opportunity to harvest an Arctic Wolf as part

of your package. Ask us for details. Fishing in September is

fantastic and is also included in your hunting package. We even

supply quality rods, reels and tackle.

Most hunters young and old seem to have a Caribou Hunt

on their “bucket list”.

If this is the year that will see you scratch this hunt off your list,

please don’t hesitate to contact us to book your hunting adventure.
