Fabulous trip with amazing Big Brookies! First day at Burton’s Pond hooked and released 30 fish & landed 25 or so. Most brook trout in the 4 to 6 pound range! Guides Edwin & Alvin really looked after us. Russell did very well wth dry flies, Ed was a wonderful coach! I think Russell & Edwin are friends for life!
Rosie “Chef” was awesome and made our stay so comfortable. Biggest fish caught at Beaver Pond inlet…..2 eight pounders and many 5 to 7 pounds!
For Dad, Russell & I (3 generations) this was a trip we will never forget!
Russell caught 3 fish on dry fly last evening after dinner – something he will always remember.
We enjoyed every minute and are sure to return!

Hello…….I’m Russell Furguson (age 14) & I love fly fishing!
This week at Igloo Lake Lodge was amazing! There wasn’t a day my Dad & grandfather and I didn’t catch any fish. There is a groundhog called “MoMo” that lives under the Labrador Room and he/she likes crackers and bread. I gained trust with MoMo and got her/him on my lap and I put my hand on MoMo. Our guides Edwin & Alvin are my new best friends along with Jim. Ed tought me how to dry fly fish and one the last night I caught four ( 2 to 6.5 pounds) on the dry fly. Alvin showed me how to eat spruce gum off the spruce trees.

Special thanks to our cook Rosie. She has made wonderful meals and became a really close friend to me. Rosie – thanks so much for my Igloo Lake guide shirt – I cannot stop waering it!

And I cannot forget about my buddy Jim, he has been with us from the beginning to the end. Thanks so much for inspiring me to become a pilot and fly the Beaver.

Tight Lines!

PS….. Thank you Jim for letting me fly the Beaver! I cannot wait to come back!

This place is like heaven on earth. It was a pleasure to have stayed this week. The fishing was great, the food was fabulous and the staff here are in a league of their own! Great people! Thanks for everything, it was an amazing experience!

Winter left Igloo late this year. There was snow around the Lodge when we arrived and the ice left the lake just days before we landed here on June 22.
Fishing was a bit slow the first few days as the fish were still waking up from a long winter but come Wednesday the 27th the wait was over at Burton’s Pond – the three of us had over 30 brook trout that day! It’s a day that I will never forget, catching 3 to 6 pound wild brook trout!
I would like to thank Jim Burton and his wonderful staff for a fishing trip of a lifetime. Rosie the culinary expert kept us well feed and could not do enough for us. Travis is a fine young man and as a guide was a pleasure to be around. Travis worked very hard to get us onto fish each day. All the guides were fun to be around and we all very entertaining.
Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Excellent trip! Jim & Staff…… a 10+!

Thanks All!

2nd time to Igloo Lake – the best trout in the world! Great sleeps – fabulous food – fishing at its best!
Thanks to the staff and owners and flight crews – Jim’s Beaver Floatplane is an exceptional flight machine – fun the watch!
You should see the snow here June 28! See you all next trip!

Jim – You have the best brook trout fishery in the world! The flight to the pond was most memorable. Hope to return for a third time!
Cheers

Amazing experience! You & your staff made the trip! Rosie & Mike could not have been kinder. Our guide Travis was great & superb! It’s interesting how the staff’s easy going & kindness filters down to the guests. You were right Jim – the fish are huge!
With sincere appreciation.

Un très grand MERCI! A tous les gens du lodge! A very great & fabulous week with everybody and my friend Kevin Geroux. See you next time with the Tundra (floatplane) C-GAGH

Guests…… every now and then stop fishing and look around and take in all the surroundings, that way when you have a bad day in the real world you can stop and think of the beautiful places you’ve seen – Love Igloo Lake Lodge – over the top hospitality – oh….and the Brookies are the most beautiful fish – bar none!
All the best!
