General Questions


What Makes Munroe Lake Lodge Unique Compared To Other Lodges In Manitoba?

We are the only lodge on Munroe Lake and our Caribou outpost is located on Farnie Lake only 8 km south of the Nunavut/Manitoba border. The areas where we hunt and fish are only accessible by plane and are essentially untouched.


How Would You Describe The Typical Experience Guests Can Expect When Visiting The Lodge?

Guests will board a chartered aircraft and fly directly to Munroe Lake Lodge where they will be greeted by friendly guides and staff. You will enjoy three warm and hearty meals per day prepared by our very own cooks. Your guide will ensure you are set up with everything you need and will take the lead in finding the species you are looking for. Our boats will make sure you get around efficiently but when hunting, be prepared to put in steps every day. After a hard day's work, you can decide to do some evening fishing or enjoy time chatting with other guests and swapping hunting and fishing stories. The guides and staff take pride in guests enjoying their experience and will do everything they can to make sure that your experience is unforgettable.


Fishing & Outdoor Activities

The lake is home to a variety of fish including Trout, Pike, Walleye, and Arctic Grayling, making it a great destination for anglers of all skill levels. There is nothing quite like the thrill of the fight fishing for Northern Pike and this is a highlight for most guests.


Can You Share Some Tips For Beginners Who Are New To Fishing & Want To Get The Most Out Of Their Experience At The Lodge?

They’re a great option for beginners and pros alike, and if you love fly fishing, you’re in for an exciting time.


Northern Pike Fishing Is A Highlight At The Lodge. What Techniques Or Gear Do You Recommend For Catching Trophy-Sized Pike?

We love a good fight—and here at Lake Munroe, that’s just what Northern Pike provide. The Northern Pike near our fly-in fishing lodge are huge, and when there’s an opportunity to feed, they’re not shy. We’ve caught Pike with almost any bait you can imagine—just be sure to tie a fluorocarbon leader to your line, or these big ambush predators might bite off more than you’d expect.


How Does The Lodge Accommodate Guests Who Want To Try Different Types Of Fishing, Such As Fly Fishing Or Ice Fishing?

Munroe Lake is the main lake you will fish from however we have lots of streams and rivers that lead into other surrounding lakes, making these waters home to multiple species and allowing you to fish in several spots a day by taking a quick boat ride. Want to do some fly fishing during your fly-in fishing trip? Arctic Grayling are the perfect fish for you. We’ve had a world-record Arctic Grayling caught right here on Munroe Lake!
