With winter finally here and Christmas fast approaching, fishing fanatics are “making their list (secretly perhaps??) and checking it twice!”

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.

This Christmas may you check a few special things off your list as well.  If one of those things is an exclusive fantastic fishing vacation, come to the spectacular Northwest Territories and Rutledge Lake Lodge where that one in a lifetime “Trophy Laker or Northern Pike” awaits!         Rutledge Lake Lodge sincerely wishes you  Merry Christmas and all the best in 2019!

 

The Auroral Oval is a giant ribbon of energy 124 miles (200 km) in diameter and 124 to 186 miles (200 to 300 km) high. It encircles the magnetic north pole and creates a corona of light known as the Aurora Borealis.

The bright dancing lights of the aurora are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth’s atmosphere. The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres. They are known as ‘Aurora borealis’ in the north and ‘Aurora australis’ in the south..
Auroral displays appear in many colours although pale green and pink are the most common. Shades of red, yellow, green, blue, and violet have been reported. The lights appear in many forms from patches or scattered clouds of light to streamers, arcs, rippling curtains or shooting rays that light up the sky with an eerie glow.

On a clear night in the fall, the Northern Lights can be viewed from the Lodge dancing magically across the sky.

In the summer, the Northwest Territories is truly the “Land of the Midnight Sun”. .
Commencing in June at the Lodge,  angler’s can enjoy fishing late into the evening taking advantage of the summer solstice.

The average daylight in June is 19:42, July 18:50, August 16:05 and September 12:58. Whether catching a laker after midnight or enjoying the unspoiled beauty of ones surroundings, you might be surprised how quickly a day or even week can pass when averaging 19 hour of daylight per day!
