Just Once!

That’s right, just once I would like to check in at the airport without some sort hassle!

Given how everything ultimately played out, you could easily say that these were the “lost” papers about a partially “lost” week – but more on this later.

Having given Char fishing a miss last year, I decided that a return visit to the Tree River was in order, and together with GBL angling buddy Kenny Gold, we booked into the main lodge, with our sights set on being the first to fish the Tree since August of last year.

Nicely written trip journal by Great Bear Lodge guest Phil Allen*,  describing his Great Bear Lake adventure that we believe took place in the late '60's or early '70's.

Many years ago, there were a couple of guys – brothers I think - who fished out of Trophy Lodge, that were known to the guides and a few guests as the “Leprechaun’s.”

Another great story and pictures from Donny "Trout Scout" Wiggans about his recent trip to Plummer's Trophy Lodge.

In keeping with the "vintage" Great Bear Lodge brochure in the following story, please enjoy this short movie featuring Great Bear Lake Lodge, hosted by Garcia and Seagrams Distillers in what appears to be 1965.

Please enjoy this short video taken during our trip to Great Bear Lake in July 2017.
