After a tour of this arctic community, you'll fly by float plane to the lodge. Your stay includes a two day side trip to Nanook River and Hadley Bay camps. Guests consider this one of the highlights of this wonderful fishing adventure. Located on Merkley Lake, High Arctic Lodge is operated by Don and Marlene Hamilton. The main lodge contains central washrooms and showers, a fishing tackle and liquor store, and a kitchen and dining room.
Guests stay in comfortable heated cabins.
Home style northern meals, experienced guides, and sturdy aluminium boats with reliable outboards all combine to assure you of a quality experience. Don is a commercial pilot with 27,000 hours of arctic flying. He keeps two float planes at the lodge for fly out fishing trips to hot spots that are proven favourites with the customers. In addition to being a fishing paradise, Victoria Island is also a naturalist and photographer's delight. Musk oxen and rare Peary caribou roam its sweeping tundra, and tiny Arctic flowers carpet the land.
