Manitoba, Canada
Dogskin Lake Lodge & Outposts
Fly-in fishing and hunting on 7,000 acres of exclusive water. Family-owned since 1996 in Manitoba's Atikaki Provincial Park.
Where Wilderness Meets Luxury

7,000 acres accessible from lodge boats plus 3,000 acres on portage lakes and rivers. No other camps on our water — it's all yours.
Remote Wilderness
A 45-minute floatplane flight from Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba. No roads, no crowds — just the boreal wilderness as far as you can see.
Family-Owned Since 1996
The Torgerson's have owned and operated Dogskin Lake Lodge for nearly 30 years — world-class fishing with the warmth of a family operation.
World-Class Fishing, Remote Luxury
Private luxury cabins. Chef-prepared meals featuring walleye chowder, fresh bread, soups, and desserts. 16' Lund boats with Yamaha 4-strokes and 7,000 acres of water that's exclusively yours.
What You'll Catch
Walleye
Dogskin Lake is a walleye paradise. Our exclusive water produces consistent catches of 18-24 inch fish with trophy walleye over 28 inches regularly landed. We were among the first lodges in Canada to institute a voluntary catch-and-consume policy in the late 1990s — keep 14-17" walleye for shore lunch, release everything else. That commitment to conservation is why the fishing here stays exceptional year after year.

Northern Pike
Monster northern pike thrive in the bays and weed beds of Dogskin Lake. Trophy pike over 41 inches are caught every season, and our guests regularly land fish in the 35-40 inch range. The abundant forage base produces thick, healthy fish.

Don't Take Our Word for It
“Dogskin Lake Lodge is fantastic! You can catch walleyes and northerns all day long. But it is the hosts and staff at Dogskin that make me feel so welcome, like family, that keeps me coming back each year. It is a truly wonderful Canadian experience.”

“Just a note to say, again, what a wonderful stay the 10 Morehead clan had at Dogskin Lake Lodge recently. Everything was first class — including your personal attention to our fishing and travel needs. Incidentally, we caught over 1,000 fish in 3 and a half days!”

“I have purposely waited several days to write this note to see if my enthusiasm for my recent trip to Dogskin Lodge would wane. It has not. The trip to Dogskin was my sixth trip to Canada in the last twenty-five years. I can state, without question, the visit to your camp was the best by far. The accommodations, helpfulness and friendliness of staff, food, boats and motors, and fishing are superb.”

“Who would have thought that a New York City girl would have given the Dogskin Lake Lodge the title of one of the best vacations... ever! This was the ideal getaway for our family. No phones, no televisions, just a great time. One of the purest enjoyments in life. This is the type of family vacation we had always wanted, with memories that will last a lifetime.”

“I want to thank you for another great trip to Dogskin. We had an absolutely great time! Your staff could not have been better. Most of our group had never experienced a fly-in trip before and you really made believers out of them. The service, the food, the fishing, the weather — and did I mention the food? — were all spectacular.”

“Many places throughout Canada would give you great fishing, but we have never been to a place that has the complete package. Great trophy fishing without sacrificing quantity, first class meals and accommodations, and wonderful people.”

“The owner, staff and accommodations are as good or better than any hunting camp I have been to. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a quality experience.”
