- This is a transfer I made from the 16mm film I own. Put out by Grain Belt beer this is a fun little film. It features the fishing available at the Arctic Lodge on Reindeer Lake. Probably from the 50's Grain Belt would have distributed the film to to show at your local bar. It advertised their Premium Beer as well as the vacation opportunities available at the Arctic Lodge.
Reindeer Lake is a lake in Western Canada located on the border between northeastern Saskatchewan and northwestern Manitoba, with the majority in Saskatchewan. It is the second-largest lake in Saskatchewan and the ninth largest in Canada.
Fishing is an important industry in the area and sport-fishermen are drawn by its clear and deep waters. Trophy-sized Pike are common at Reindeer Lake. The lake also supports commercial fishing. Fish species include walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, lake trout, arctic grayling, lake whitefish, and burbot. This film is mostly about different types of trout (talks quite a bit about 15 to 30 pound trout being caught) and grayling.
Thank you all for your support, the ad revenue from TH-cam helps me to purchase new films and continue with the transfers and uploads. Please continue to support the ads and DVD's
Very cool. I live in northern Saskatchewan, west of Reindeer Lake and have been guiding for years. Film from this era (especially of this quality) is VERY rare. Great video, thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love finding these old films.
Ahhh, nothing better than fishing on Canadian lakes and knocking back a few "Grain Belts!"
If only we knew then what we know now. That goes for a lot of things in this video.
wow what an awesome insight to the past.
Fished at this camp about 10 years ago and it was the best fishing I’ve ever had! Pike, Walleye, Lake Trout, Grayling, and even a Whitefish. Catch and release now only keep for shore lunch or Trophy size. Highly recommend and look forward to going back.
Awesome film. I have fished there many times. My biggest northern was 46" with many in the 40+" class. Nice trout and grayling as well.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I'd love to make it up there one day.
This is Awesome.
Landlocked salmon trout...lol. Cool video though.
I actually used to go up to Nordic lodge every year when my aunti owned it a couple years ago
Thanks! I've paddled there and really want to get back. In fact, that airstrip and the DC-3 crashed in the bush was on our list of things we hoped to see. Maybe next time. I'm curious about the "land locked salmon trout" that he mentions as being different from lake trout. I've never heard of such a thing and as far as I know, there's only lake trout in Reindeer. Anyone have more insight? I'll have to come back later to watch the rest of the video.
I love the 'contempt' they have for releasing the fish with a flip back into the water.🤨
its sad how poorly they handled fish back then . it looks like they wanted to really hurt the northern when they threw them back in .
I'm no tree or whale hugger, but guaranteed 90% mortality rate with how those fish were handled! Sad! Luckily we've come a long way since then!
What fish is he talking about when he says landlocked salmon trout?
Terrible treatment of fish. But great video
There's no Landlocked Salmon (trout) in this lake, there's Lake Trout.
69 trout in over a hour… now I know why there’s 1-2 limit today..but wow
Hi there , any chance I can used clips of this for a non for profit background footage about a ww2 pilots life after the war. thank you

Had to be very wealthy to afford flying in back in those years.
