- 6 double-double cabins have been equipped with queen-sized beds.
- We now have an Argo all-terrain vehicle that can take people along the Otherside River from the lodge for sightseeing or fishing.
- Rotation of 3-day, 4-day and 7-day packages changes, with direct charters from Saskatoon and continental breakfast on the plane.
- Added a group and corporate cabin to accommodate up to 8 guests, with a common area within the cabin that's perfect for small group discussions or meetings. This cabin has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
- Main lodge has a lounge and dining room, with patio doors that allow easy access to
the full deck, the perfect spot to relax during
the long northern evenings and swap stories about
the legendary fishing at Athabasca.
- Guest cabin improvements include new furniture,
carpet, and heat pumps and airconditioning.
- New fishing boats and 40 hp Yamaha motors have been added.
- We've lengthened and improved the walking trail to allow better access to river fishing along the Otherside River near the lodge. The trail is a pleasant walk through forest wilderness, and there's a good chance of seeing wildlife such as the many bald eagles that nest along the river.

What Our Guests Have to
Say

Thanks again for your wonderful hospitality. It was another great trip. When I tell people that we caught 52 Pike over 40 inches, including a 47 incher caught right out in front of the lodge, they think I am telling a fish story. It is all true and I can't wait to get back next year. Have a great year!

To keep it short and sweet, the four of us [Kevin Sickles (me), Jim and Pete Worrell and Henry Comp (my uncle)] had the fishing trip of our lives this year (June 2008) at Blackmur's Athabasca Fishing Lodges and we owe it all to you both. From the delicious home-cooked catered breakfasts and dinners served daily at the lodge (Stella..thanks for your sensational cooking) to the cozy laid-back cabins, and, last but not least, the best pike fishing in North America, the only place that could ever even possibly compare is a place some call HEAVEN!! Thanks again for all the sensational memories that we will cherish forever and we owe it all to your hard work and dedication! We look forward to coming back in June 2009.
In 8-days, the four of us caught 51 trophy pike (over 40-inches long) with the biggest being 48-inches which I caught. My uncle Henry and Pete caught 47-inchers and Jim caught a 45-incher.

Thank you Cliff and Stella, and the entire staff, for one of our greatest trips. Four day totals for our group of 6: 45 trophy Northerns - 12 over 45 inches; 9 trophy Lake Trout - 7 over 38 inches; hundreds of walleye. We can't wait to come back.

We wanted to thank you for the wonderful trip we had to the Otherside Lodge last week. You definitely run a first class operation in every way - from the facilities, to equipment, guides etc. Stella's meals are outstanding, as are the shore lunches provided by our guide. Being with the other guests each day and getting to know them was fun also. As a Stroke Survivor, it was wonderful how everyone helped me when I needed it. Our guide Louie was fantastic, very helpful, helping me to catch many large Northern Pike. We will definitely promote your operation as the place to go. Thank you again for making it so great. We'll be back.

My life long dreams have been achieved by everybody's hospitality and the kindness extended to me and my family at Otherside Fishing Lodge. Not only outstanding fishing, the best we have experienced in 35 fly-in trips in three provinces, but the true feeling of friendship, and making our trips so enjoyable. Thanks from all of us. We are very grateful to all of you.
