After a record late ice out, the 2014 season was a great success. Hundreds of trophy Northern were caught and released and the Walleye fishing was the best we have seen in four years. There are some exciting new changes coming to Silsby and the outpost camps in 2015...High Hill Outpost will be getting new boats and motors, Cuddle had a major renovation done to the cabins this past fall, and Silsby will see even more improvements for next year.
"Sam, I've been traveling to several fly in fishing lodges throughout Manitoba over the past 10 years. This 43" Northern Pike is my first Master Angler Pike. Many lodges boast of their trophy N. Pike but Silsby Lake Lodge actually delivered. Thanks” Jeff Bertsch
“My dad (James Jensen, right, with 43” trophy), brother, and son had a great time, even with the rough weather conditions. Our guides, John and Mathew worked hard, were very respectful, and professional. The meals were great and the service was wonderful from the kitchen – good folks.” Jeff Jensen
“First trip back to Silsby since you took over. Many improvements, not the least was the airstrip that cuts down the travel time. Our guide was excellent, as evidenced by my catching two trophies. The overall experience at Silsby was excellent. Looking forward to our return trip.”
John Willin
“It doesn't get any better than this. Great guides, great cooks, and a lot of fun fishing. I caught 2 masters and our group caught 13 masters together. We will be back for some more fun. Thanks Sam and thank all of your employees.” Tom Voss
“Hi Sam, another great year of fishing with the Fetts. The afternoon I caught this beautiful 47 ½” pike, we found ourselves without any measuring device! Knowing we had a large trophy, we implemented the use of the boat casting platform to mark the length and later get an accurate measurement with a tape. This was my 5th trip with our group to your outpost camps. Great food, great fishing and best of all great service! Look forward to seeing you again next year.” Rusty Beishline
“Hi Sam...My Dad, nephew, daughter and I flew into Silsby Lake in July and fished at High Hill. My daughter Brooke, age 11, can not quit talking about her experience and the trip was one that we will all cherish forever.
The one picture of Brooke (left) was a walleye she caught while trolling with a five of diamonds. Although we did not get a true measurement of the fish (spent too much time taking pictures), I am guessing it was close to 30". The funny part was she released one about 2-3 inches shorter than that one about ten minutes earlier. I have never been happier to be outfished by a an 11 year old girl! I feel you went out of your way to make our trip a very pleasurable experience. The boats, cabin, and employees were all top notch.
Thanks again and we look forward to our next trip.” Brian and Fred Hartley
“Hey Sam, I just wanted to write a note saying how much we enjoyed our annual fishing trip this year. As you know we have been doing this for years. I can say for all of us that we have never seen fishing like we experienced at Cuddle Lake. My son and I knew it was going to be good when our first cast we both caught 25” inch Northerns. Our group of 8 caught between 1,800 and 2,000 fish over the 5 day period. We caught about 20 over 30”. Although the Big ones alluded us we did catch a 40 and 38 inch. The Walleye were plentiful too and we had walleye for dinner and even made up some fried walleye wrapped in bacon appetizers. We look forward to a future trip to Cuddle.” Keith Beaucamp
“My father-in-law talked me and my 2 brother-in-laws into a 4 day fishing trip in late August at the outpost camp on Cuddle Lake. After reading some of the prior testimonials on Pritchard and Cuddle, I had my reservations that this trip was going to live up to my expectations, but it actually exceeded them. We fished Cuddle 3 days and fished Pritchard 1 day. We caught hundreds of fish. Both lakes produced Walleyes between 21 – 26 inches and many different lengths of Northern. The largest Northern of 42 inches was caught by myself. The weather was great, the fishing was fantastic and the enjoyment of making unforgettable memories with my family was priceless. The staff at Silsby could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Thank you, Sam, and your staff for a great vacation.” Tony Oster

Happy Holidays from everyone at Silsby Lake Lodge!!
Amazing photos and great testimonials are still flowing in from the 2013 season at Silsby Lake Lodge and outpost camps. Nick Childress holds his monster Master Angler Northern Pike from Silsby Lake during the 2nd week of August.
"Thanks again, that trip was incredible. I'm already aching to get back!" Nick Childress
Bob Mayfield with one of his two GIANT Pike from Pritchard Lake in late August of 2013. Pritchard Lake, our newest outpost camp, had never been sport fished before we tried a couple exploratory trips to it in 2012. Fishermen were able to explore virgin waters in 2013 and did extremely well. The canvas wall tent camp is not exactly "roughin' it", with plywood floor, generator, electric fridge/freezer, oven/range, kitchen countertop/cabinets, etc. A lot of amenities, great fishing and all at a great rate - trips start at $1,500/person!! We still have available dates at this amazing new outpost camp lake in 2013 - CALL TODAY!! 1-800-521-1347.
Our 2013 Moose hunting season was our best to date! Our hunters went 8 for 12, overall. The four hunters who did not tag a bull, had opportunities at nice bulls, but decided to pass. Steve Scheel tagged this bull during the first hunt at Pritchard Lake. This bull should receive a B&C Award after the drying period. It gross scored 199 B&C pts.!

It has been a crazy year for weather in the Silsby area. Following a record late ice out, all of our lakes are at record low water levels due to the drought this summer. Despite this the fishing has been good and our guests are raving about the newly completed airstrip and direct flights from Winnipeg with our 40 passenger turbo prop jets.
"Hi Sam, Your new camp was very welcoming and comfortable for our family. The entire experience was an adventure , from the fishing, to the bald eagles, to the moose!! The food including shore lunch was fabulous, the staff was awesome, the camaraderie was engaging, and we were so pleased with how the young boys were treated. An amazing trip! Thanks" Peter and Lynn

Sorry folks, I have been updating our Facebook and Twitter pages more often than our website. We have experienced incredible fishing on our lakes this season, the strangest weather patterns I have ever seen in the north and set some milestones at Silsby including the now fully operational runway and a new outpost on Pritchard Lake. We only have a couple of late season openings in 2013 and 2014 is already starting to fill up. Let's chat about fishing!!!! 1-800-521-1347.
This massive Pike was caught by Dru Fisher on High Hill Lake - 48 1/2 inches!! All four of our lakes have been producing some monster fish in 2013.
