Fishing from Viking Island

When you fly into Viking Island, you are leaving roads behind and entering Woodland Caribou Provincial Park. Walleye, Northern, and Lake Trout fishing is excellent here. Douglas is the main lake within a group of deep small productive lakes. It is at the top of the watershed flowing east into Red Lake. When you travel to Embryo, you cross into the watershed running west to Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba.
 
From Viking Island, there are many directions to go. Each day can be a different adventure. The staff at the island give you plenty of advice but you plan your own trips and drive your own boat. You can fish the main lake for an hour or two and come back to the lodge for lunch. If you prefer an adventure, there are many possiblities. You can boat or canoe up a river, walk a portage, or take an overnight night trip.
 
The lakes within easy reach include Onnie, Spider, Peterson, Page, Frank's, Hatchet, Caribou, Embryo, Anchor, and Foley Lakes.
