Wylie Lake Fishing Excursions
Remote Fly-In Fishing in Northern Alberta
Wylie Lake Lodge is a fly-in fishing destination located deep in Northern Alberta’s boreal forest. As the only lodge on Wylie Lake, guests experience complete seclusion and uninterrupted access to the water. Accessible only by floatplane, the lodge offers a private, remote experience centered on fishing, quiet surroundings, and time away from day-to-day distractions.
Wylie Lake is a large, productive lake with a strong cold-water fishery and ample space to explore. With no other camps or lodges on the lake, guests enjoy true solitude. The setting is quiet, the fishing is consistent, and the pace is intentionally unhurried.

Wylie Lake covers more than 4,500 acres, providing anglers with extensive shoreline, sheltered bays, and deeper basins. With exclusive access to the entire lake, guests can spread out, explore different areas each day, and adjust fishing strategies based on conditions without pressure or competition.
