About Us:

CANDLE LAKE OUTFITTERS is a personalized operation open to a limited number of clients. To ensure a quality hunt, we like to have no more than two hunters per guide. Our knowledge of the area and trophy game, along with great hospitality, will make your hunt an enjoyable and memorable experience.

What makes us unique:

Our modern lodge is in the heart of big game country on the shores of Candle Lake. It features a large lounge area where guests like to relax by the fire place in the evening to share their adventures. The fully modern bedrooms have 2 comfortable beds to accommodate two hunters. We pride ourselves in providing excellent and generous home cooked meals. Good food and rest are important for a good effort on the hunt.

About our trips:

BEAR HUNTS Six day bear hunts over active baits are available in the spring. The area has a good percentage of color phase. The proximity of the "no hunting" game preserve raises the odds for a mature trophy. Many hunters combine their hunt with angling for northern pike and walleye. TROPHY WHITETAIL Most clients come during the winter rut for a six day hunt. We have the best success hunting from enclosed, heated ground and tree stands over looking active bait sites along traditional deer trails. Hunting scrapes and rattling are other options.

Our history:

My late father, Joe Helbig, in 1929 took a homestead nearby to farm. In the 1950's he started our family tourist business at our present site on Candle Lake. In 1990 I received my outfitting license and began guiding big game hunters.

Trips Offered:

Black Bear Hunting, Archery Hunting, Whitetail Hunting, Manitoba Hunting, Walleye Fishing
