Northern Pike

At Brabant Lodge, Trophy Northern Pike fishing is our specialty. Our team of professional fishing guides strive to put you on the biggest Northern Pike we have to offer daily. From our large, stable Lund 1800 Alaskan boats equipped with 50 HP Honda motors,  you'll enjoy casting endlessly for 12 hours everyday.
