Trophy Fishing
What can we say other than the fishing is “beyond belief”. Gagnon Lake provides access to Trophy fishing for Lake Trout, Northern Pike, Grayling and Walleye. These pristine waters have never been commercially fished and have not been sport fished in over 35 years. The fishing experience provides our guests the unique opportunity to catch the fish of a lifetime.
Wildlife and Aurora Viewing
There is an abundance of wildlife in the area of Gagnon Lake. Musk Ox however are very prominent in the Gagnon Lake area and can be seen occasionally sunning themselves in meadows nearby. The muskox (Ovibos moschatus, in Latin “musky sheep-ox”), also spelled musk ox and musk-ox (in Inuktitut: ᐅᒥᖕᒪᒃ, umingmak; in Woods Cree: ᒫᖨᒨᐢ, mâthi-môs, ᒫᖨᒧᐢᑐᐢ, mâthi-mostos), is a hoofed mammal of the family Bovidae. Native to the Arctic, it is noted for its thick coat.
Many varieties of birds make the area their home. We are frequented by Eagles and have a family of loons living right by the cabin.z
