Fishing Itinerary

Fishing Itinerary (i.e. 4-day trip)
This is a sample itinerary of a 4-day fishing trip; the only difference in the itinerary is there are extra days of fishing for longer trips.
Day 0
This is the day before your scheduled fishing date. You will arrive in Yellowknife and will be met at the airport by our friendly staff. After claiming your baggage, you will be driven to the hotel and if time permits, we will be happy to provide you a tour and show you the many interesting features of our city.
Day 1
Peterson's staff will pick you up at the hotel early morning (7:00 am) and will take you to the Air Tindi float base for your flight to the lodge. At the float base, we celebrate the start of your adventure with homemade bannock and preserves, accompanied by a cheese and fruit platter. A toast to your trip with sparkling wine and orange juice while overlooking Great Slave Lake sets the tone before you board the plane for your one hour and thirty minute flight north. Upon arrival Jim Peterson, owner and lodge manager and staff will be there to greet you. You will be given a tour of the lodge and be given your assigned cabin where you can get unpacked and settle into your room. Over lunch there is a brief orientation and Jim will answer any questions you may have. You also have the opportunity to meet the Peterson Team before heading out on the lake.
Day 2/Day 3
These two days will be full of adventure, wonder and excitement, while fishing for trophy lakers, eating great food and enjoying the camaraderie of other anglers & staff.
Your day - a “typical” day at Peterson's Point Lake Lodge
You can expect to begin your day with a nourishing breakfast. Our cook will have an assortment of choices including fresh coffee, tea, juice, muffins, toast and fruit preserves, Red River cereal and main course, be it eggs, pancakes or French toast. Breakfast is a great time to discuss the days' activities; anglers & guides can plan lunch whether they prefer to take a packed lunch or stop for a shore lunch and talk about fishing locations. It is easy to follow along on the Point Lake map hung on the lodge wall. Each day at Point Lake is unique, as insects, weather and fishing action will influence the day's activities. Anglers often depart for a day of fishing at 8:00 AM. Lunch can be a prepared picnic or sumptuous shore lunch. Dinner is served at 7:00 PM in the main lodge.
Day 4
On your last day, you will depart for Yellowknife at approximately 9:30 am. Arriving at approximately 11:00 am, you will be met at the float base and after loading your gear, you will be driven to the airport or hotel to check-in. There will be time for lunch at one of the local restaurants as well as gift/souvenir shopping.
Please Note: We do our utmost to stay within the scheduled times however there is the possibility of delays due to uncontrollable factors such as inclement weather.
