Delaney Lake Lodge

(These pages are still under construction as the fishers send in their photos and videos…)

Our GM Chris Cowlbeck has fished Canadian waters for over 15 years and when the opportunity arose to put an IBO trip together in 2019, a total of 18 fishers rose to the occasion.  Delaney Lake Lodge is about a 4 hour drive north of International Fall (if you could drive there, but float plane required!) and sits on a crystal clear lake nestled in the glacier cut granite that is the home to walleye, lake trout, northern pike, musky and small mouth bass.  The lodge overlooks the lake and offers a 2 minute portage over to the English River system which runs for dozens of miles through bear, moose and bald eagle territory, with the off citing of wolves.  Take a peek at the pictures of the lifetime large fish caught in this area and some of the comments from the participants.

Barry Cramer, Southern Outdoor – Trip is miles above any expectations, the staff and fishing were simply remarkable!

Ben Shugart, Saben Outdoor –  This trip blew away my expectations, the staff and guides were fantastic! I ended up catching 53 fish in three and a half days. We can’t wait to come back next year.

Bobby Fountain, Saben Outdoor – Awesome food, great start, great guides! Wasn’t on my bucket list but should have been. Memories of a lifetime.

Chris Adams, Formetco –  Greatest place on earth! The lodge and its staff were exceptional!

Chris Odom, Productivity Fabricators –  I thought I was going to be roughing it and eating fish for every meal but that was not the case. It is like a 5 star hotel with top notch service and meals. I probably gained ten pounds. #BucketList

Anonymous – Came to be with family and ended up being with a bigger family, both friends and employees caught more fish in 4 days than almost my entire life. Ate food that would top the best resorts in the world, a wonderful time.
