Doug Fraser and his guest, Warren Maracle, from St. Catharines, ON spent 5 incredible days fishing at Big Sand Lake Lodge in early June 2007. The pair took advantage of 70 miles and 60,000 acres of fishing on Big Sand Lake catching Lake Trout, Walleye and Northern Pike. Big Sand Lake Lodge did not disappoint and the two avid fisherman had an adventure of a lifetime!
Remotely situated within the sub-arctic wilderness of Canada, Big Sand Lake Lodge is located 525 miles north of Winnipeg, Manitoba. There is no road access to Big Sand Lake so the only way to get the lodge is to fly-in.
The Lake is 70 miles long and comprises over 60,000 acres of pristine northern waters, containing the most sought after trophy fish in North America. Traveling north to the permafrost and tundra, the caribou and the wolves, you'll discover that the sun shines brightest at Big Sand Lake. This unique sub-arctic landscape is beautiful with many unique things to see and do.
Every year Big Sand Lake Lodge guests commonly catch and 
release 20-30 lb plus Northern Pike, 50 lb plus Lake Trout, 3-4 lb average Walleye's and Trophy sized Arctic Grayling

In the words of BOATsmart! Canada Grand Prize Winner,
Jamie Bridgewater:
“Beauchêne was unbelievable! World class small mouth bass and the chance to fish with Dave Mercer – how could a guy ask for anything more! The food at La Reserve Beauchêne was incredible, and the fishing was unbeatable. Thanks to La Reserve Beauchêne and BOATsmart! Canada for the trip of a lifetime!”
And from the man himself . . .
Dave Mercer:
“What a trip! I got a chance to go fishing with the two BOATsmart! Canada prize winners at one of Canada's true fishing paradises - La Reserve Beauchêne. This was truly an awesome experience. Not only did I have great company to fish with, the fish were on fire! In our 2 1/2 days of fishing, our group caught every type of fish that swims in Beauchêne and averaged over 100 fish per day. I honestly believe this is one of Canada's greatest fishing lodges. It's hard to believe that you can drive to it. I can't wait to head back to Beauchêne again. For your chance to win a day fishing with me at a great lodge, make sure to enter the BOATsmart! contest on this site.”
