Cuddle Lake outpost is an adventurous persons dream. This long lake offers everything a fishermen looks for in a trophy Pike lake. The spring torrent of incoming and outgoing water from the Utik River breaks up the ice in the bay first, which is where the camp is positioned bringing with it thousands of baitfish and feed for the resident trophy pike and Walleye that have gathered for this once a year feeding frenzy. This lake is known for producing double header trophy northern pike between 41" to 52 " in Length. Cuddle Lake will be open from the end of May to July 8th, 2013.
I now have exclusive rights to Pritchard Lake, which is just west of Cuddle. Pritchard Lake flows into Cuddle via an impressive set of rapids at the far west end of Cuddle. I will be pulling some boats to Pritchard this winter and plan on fishing it as soon as the ice melts. Cuddle guests will have access via a portage trail and an outpost camp is on the agenda for this coming year. Future guests will have endless fishing opportunities between these two lakes and rivers.
In the spring, the fishing in the Utik River is tremendous both up and downstream. When water levels are normal, you can head downstream to the East all the way to the scenic Annesley Lake. Heading west you will have the chance to investigate the remaining 20 miles of bays, islands, and creeks in the lake. In addition you may also have the chance to access Thom and Pritchard Lakes, which are connected to Cuddle at the west end. Cuddle Lake has had virtually zero fishing pressure by sport fishermen in the last 20 years. There are sure to be records that come out of this lake in the future.
