Lawrence Bay Lodge’s guided moose hunts take place during the peak of the rut period which is mid September. Our Saskatchewan moose hunting guides will be using the traditional birch bark moose call, calling the Bull Moose within range of the moose hunter. Calling in a bull moose during the peak of the rut is one of the most unique and exciting experiences in all of hunting. We hunt hard; hunters should be prepared to stay out overnight at a tent camp or one of our outpost cabins. Lawrence Bay Lodge only takes 12 moose hunters a year. Our Saskatchewan moose hunters are flown out to different hunting camps on smaller lakes and some hunters also stay on Reindeer Lake and depart in boats from the base camp. The moose hunters that stay on Reindeer Lake will also be going to different areas staying in cabins and tents.

On arrival, we meet the moose hunters at our Lawrence Bay Airways floatplane base. We then fly them into Lawrence Bay Lodge. The remainder of the arrival day, all of the hunters meet and visit (kind of a camaraderie day) the other hunters, make sure that their rifles are sighted in after traveling, and (after a hot supper) we have a moose meeting where we introduce the hunters to their moose hunting guides, let the hunters know which camp they will be hunting at, and go over the hunting rules and regulations one more time. The next morning the moose hunters are flown to their separate spike camps and some of the hunters also stay on Reindeer Lake.

A typical day of Saskatchewan moose hunting is waking up early before sunrise and getting into position in an area where the guide has found moose sign and start calling for moose, many times you will also check an area that you and the guide were calling the previous night, as many times there will be a bull standing there in the morning. If unsuccessful, the guide and hunter will go to different areas that morning checking for moose sign and looking for moose. At mid-morning the guide and hunter will return to camp for breakfast, (some days may take a nap after breakfast), then will go out checking for moose sign again and setting up for an evening calling session. Once you are done calling moose into the evening, if you do not have a moose coming in, head back to camp, get to bed & get ready for another day of hunting the next day.

We have great fishing for Northern Pike, Lake Trout, Walleye, and Arctic Grayling! The fishing at Lawrence Bay Lodge is nothing short of spectacular. Last season our guests caught an unbelievable 1,600 Northern Pike over 40”. Eighty percent of our guests caught fish from 18-35 lbs (40”- 53”). We also had a few over 35lbs (our biggest Northern Pike being 39 lbs last season). We also caught Lake Trout up to 35 lbs, Walleye up to 12.5 lbs (33”), and Arctic Grayling over 22”. All of the trophies are alive and well thanks to the guests that released those monsters. Guests eat fish everyday for shore lunch and can also take a few of the smaller fish home with them. We have managed our fishing area well the past 40 years through catch and release fishing for all trophies which has insured that the fishing is as good now as it was in 1971.
