What makes us unique:

Kississing Lake is approximately 25 miles by 25 miles and dotted with hundreds of islands and reefs, surrounded by some of the most beautiful country you will probably ever see. The East side of the lake is deep and holds great numbers of Lake Trout. The rest of the lake abounds with Northern Pike and Walleye. At any time you can see bald eagles, ducks, loons, geese, gulls, pelicans, and many other types of birds on or hovering over the lake. Bear, moose, and caribou are regularly sighted, along with many other fur bearing animals.

About our trips:

We take great pride and pleasure in the quality and quantity of the fish at Kississing Lake. As such we take strong measures to assure for the continuation of this wonderful resource. At Kenanow Lodge we adhere strictly to the provincial laws and policies governing fishing in the area. Any number days of fishing at Kenanow Lodge is a party with the friends, family or associates along with you. Relax and enjoy yourself, while we look to your comforts. You'll be immersed in beautiful outdoor scenery, the action of the fishing, and our friendly accomodations. A typical day begins when you awake, at whatever time you want. Coffee and other beverages are ready. The night before you will have been asked when you'll be up and what your party wants for breakfast, which is served promptly in the main building. After breakfast you board the boats as soon as you're ready, and motor off to a location on the lake to begin fishing. Generally we'll have an idea of where we think the fishing is likely to be active, but as you get to know the lake, you're welcome to request where you want to go. Many choose to fish for walleye in the morning, and northern pike after lunch (although you'll almost always catch some northern pike when fishing for walleye, and visa-versa). Next is Shore Lunch (read above). If you don't want fish for lunch, or don't want to have Shore Lunch, let us know, and we'll pack sandwiches and keep fishing if you like. Typically we fish until around 5:00 p.m., but if you prefer to start late and stay out late, we try to accomodate you as much as possible. It's not unusual to go after deep water lake trout for the last hour or two on the way back in. Upon returning to the lodge, you have roughly an hour or so, then dinner and relaxation.

Our history:

Tim and Val Matheson, both born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, have been year round residents in the Cold Lake/Sherridon area since 1991. They personally built Kenanow Lodge with much help from their friends and neighbors. Tim guided for "the main competition", Kississing Lake Lodge, from 1991 to 1996, and previously part time in other parts of Manitoba for over twenty years. He left the employment of Kississing Lake Lodge in 1996, opting to go it on his own, feeling he could provide a higher quality, more personal service to visiting fishermen.
