Lake Information

Located in the Northwest Territories, Great Slave Lake is the second-largest lake entirely within Canadian borders, the tenth-largest in the world, and North America’s deepest lake. It spans an immense sub-Arctic landscape ranging from forested western shores to the stark, dramatic granite cliffs of the Canadian Shield on its eastern arms. Because of its massive scale, the lake features distinct ecological zones: shallow, weedy archipelagos ideal for world-class trophy Northern Pike (such as the sprawling North Arm), alongside ultra-clear, cold, deep-water basins like Christie Bay that harbor giant Lake Trout and Arctic Grayling.

Way up north to Great Slave Lake
Grand Forks Herald outdoors feature on a 12-person group's four-day July 2026 trip to Plummer's Great Slave Lake Lodge. Highlights were a 40-lb lake trout on the first jig drop, big fish, standout shore lunches and spectacular food. The organizer said the lodge had a good reputation and fit the group's budget.

A Fishing Trip of Lifetime
Family trip to Great Slave Lake in August 2025. Staff were helpful, accommodations rustic but comfortable and clean, and the campfire shore lunches were wonderful. They caught several trophy lake trout, and guides were great with the 9- and 10-year-old kids. Tip: pack warmer than you think you need.

Great Slave Lake Lake Trout
Called it the best place to catch big lake trout, with the best shore lunches, world-class guides, accommodations and equipment. Rods and light poles for grayling are provided. (Solo, July 2024.)

Fantastic trip with great food. Guide Chris is a master chef at shore lunch, lodge staff were top notch, and Great Slave Lake fishing is world class. This was his second trip there.

Fishing for Beginners at Great Slave Lake
Four of them went to Great Slave Lake Lodge in August 2021, including complete beginners. The beginner had a fish on within an hour and a 31 lb trout by the end of day one. Accommodation was comfortable, shore lunches excellent, and the fishing abundant.

Plummers Lodge Great Slave Lake
Best fishing experience of his life. Guides highly trained and professional, staff friendly, cabins better than expected. Beginners and pros alike catch championship fish daily. Good for families or groups of friends, and he plans to return. (Stay: August 2021.)

Finding Paradise Lost
Four days at Plummer's Great Slave Lake Lodge. Guides cooked great shore lunches, the store was well stocked, and the food and wine selection were good. They caught many lakers up to 30 lbs on fly rods, but conditions did not allow a Tree River trip. Will definitely return.

Great Slave Lakers
Writer's account of fishing trophy lake trout at Plummer's Great Slave Lake lodge. He says guides were expert at landing and releasing big fish, the hug-and-release policy makes sense, and it was an adventure of a lifetime.

Took his daughter to Plummer's on Great Slave Lake. The guide catered to them, they caught a ton of big fish, the water was crystal clear (visible to 35 feet), and the lodge was very comfortable. (Posted on the outfitter's site as a Google review.)

Plummers Lodge Fishing
Four days at Great Slave Lake Lodge with his son: several lake trout every day over 30 lbs, up to a 42 lb fish, plus many Arctic grayling. Lodge in a pristine remote area, comfortable well-equipped boats, and a knowledgeable, fun guide. (July 2021.)

July 17-20, 2023 on Great Slave Lake with family. Guides Bryce and Dan worked hard to keep them on fish, with catches from 21 to 44 lbs. Food and shore lunch were great and lodge staff helpful. Smoke haze did not affect the fishing. Recommends following Plummer's clothing suggestions.
