In the heart of the subarctic, just above the 57th parallel north in Nunavik, Quebec, Wedge Hills Lodge sits perched on a hilltop overlooking the majestic George River - a waterway well-known for its fantastic Atlantic salmon and brook trout fishing. The location is the main attraction - far from the bustle of urban life, and right in the middle of breathtaking landscapes, home to wildlife species found in only a few rare corners of the earth.
The lodge offers a private getaway of northern charm for guests to enjoy. In addition to private, well-appointed log-style cabins, guests can enjoy a wood-burning cedar hot tub for a truly relaxing experience under the Aurora Borealis-filled sky.

Test your angling skills at one of the most remote lodges in North America, accessible only by air. Wedge Hills Lodge is located on the famous George River, splendid and endless, wild and impetuous, with countless rapids where the king of the river, the Atlantic salmon, fight their way against the current in impressive numbers year after year.
In addition to Atlantic salmon fishing, you can also fish these cold waters for other popular species that abound and reach unparalleled sizes in the vast north such as landlocked arctic char, brook trout, lake trout and northern pike.
Over the years, the George River has become one of the world's most famous rivers for Atlantic salmon fishing. With average daily catches between 10-20 lbs (reaching over 30 lbs in some cases!), and access to 30 mile View more...s on one of the most virgin and wild river systems in the world, the territory offers an unforgettable adventure to even the most experienced of anglers.
Guided daily outings to different fishing pools by 22' freighter canoe with 30 HP jet motors is an experience in itself. All guides have extensive experience on the water and in navigating the rapids to ensure clients' safety. To enhance the experience, migrating caribou from the George River Herd and a large number of black bears can be seen while traveling the river.
Anglers can enjoy a fresh trout shore lunch or an evening dinner, however, we encourage catch and release best practices for all species in order to sustain these precious resources for future generations. Atlantic salmon is strictly catch and release.
Imagine having all of the comforts of home in a log-style lodge overlooking a beautiful river with sweeping mountain sides and endless uninhabited terrain, in one of the most remote areas of the world! The best part - nobody else but your friends and family are there. We can offer this to groups of family, friends and co-workers looking for a true private getaway from the everyday in an area far from the hustle and bustle of urban life, and right in the middle of breathtaking landscapes.
