With the first signs of winter upon us, we are focusing on the upcoming 2021 fishing season. We are optimistic travel restrictions due to the pandemic will ease but the current increase in infection rates is troubling.
The Lodge is again offering a 10% discount for all 2021 bookings made prior to December 31, 2020. (Rates are posted on the “Booking” page.) Deposits will be waved until such time NT health authorities confirm travel protocol.
Contact tom@rutledgelakelodge.com for reservations and or inquiries.
Because of the current state of uncertainty due to Covid-19, regrettably Rutledge Lake Lodge is suspending Lodge operations for the 2020 season.
All deposits will be returned in full by March 31, 2020 or can be applied to bookings for the 2021 fishing season.
In the upcoming months, RLL will be offering on our blog, discounts for 2021 pre-bookings.
Thank-you and stay safe,
Tom.

The Artison Floor Fashion crew from Edmonton were a blast, Mike and Greg kept everyone well entertained. Mike may have had the biggest Laker of the trip hooked and to the boat! Unfortunately (Mike and Greg have different versions why!), a good look was all they got! What fishing trip doesn’t include a story of the “big one” that got away?
Rutledge Lake Lodge checked a few things off our list this year. New fridges, Garmin electronics, solar panels and inverters were nice additions to the Lodge in June.
In August, new LED lights were installed in the cabins, running water with separate hot water tanks are now operational in all cabins, and the interior logs have been restored and clear coated.
Rutledge Lake Lodge is offering a 10% discount on all 2019 fishing packages purchased before December 1, 2018.

We were treated to an impressive light show in August at the Lodge. The Northern Lights danced across the sky and bounced off the water, very nice.
Max Kappeler enjoyed a great trip to the Lodge this spring. He started the trip off with a nice laker and finished on the last morning with a 35lb beauty. It was Max’s biggest fish to date, and our cameras…yes our cameras were back at camp!
Max has confirmed he’ll be back next spring to get that picture!
