Superb fishing gear catches fish.

Budd’s has top-of-the-line St. Croix fishing rods and reels to rent. If you bring your own reel, you can use our St. Croix rods for free. A complete tackle store is located inside the Lodge and has exactly the right gear to help you catch your Trophy fish. With the fishing gear and tackle the Lodge has to offer, you can pack light before heading North to Winnipeg. Bring clothes and friends, and leave your cell phone and everything else behind!

With each fishing package, we provide you with an 18 foot Alaskan Lund boat with padded swivel seats, an electronic fish finder, and a 40hp Yamaha motor, coolers for each boat, certified life vests, and one guide for every two guests.

A complete line of fishing tackle & equipment, rental rods & reels, Manitoba Conservation Fishing Licenses, snacks, Budd's souvenir clothing line & hats (children's sizes available), beer, pop, water, and many more miscellaneous items are available at the lodge store.

We also have a fully stocked bait shack with leeches, night crawlers, and frozen minnows.
