More trophy fish every year.

At Esnagami Wilderness Lodge, we pride ourselves on taking proactive steps to both maintain and enhance the quality of our trophy fishery.
 To support our conservation efforts, in 1990 we implemented a Catch and Release program, that to-date has resulted in over 10,000 trophy fish released! Walleye 30 to 32 inches in length and Northern Pike in the 45 to 50 inch range are now being caught every season.

Fish in the following categories must be released:

  • Walleye – 24” or longer
  • Northern Pike – 30” or longer
  • Brook Trout – 18” or longer

Upon releasing a qualifying fish, you automatically become a member of the Esnagami Wilderness Lodge Trophy Club.

As a Trophy Club member you will receive a custom-designed shirt in recognition of your catch. For each trophy fish that you catch and release, a ballot will be entered into our drawing for a chance to win 1 of 2 free trips back to the lodge.

We look forward to welcoming you to the club!
