Lake Lunkers - Where To Toss The Bags

Where To Toss The Bags

Getting to Tukto Lodge is remarkably easy, considering its remote location. Guests travel to Winnipeg, Manitoba, a city with a population of 700,000. International flights arrive and depart daily. Tukto guests stay at the new upscale Four Points Sheraton Hotel connected to the Winnipeg Airport or at the Hilton Suites just two blocks away. Both hotels offer excellent restaurants. Other fine-dining establishments in Winnipeg include, 529 Wellington Steakhouse, Bailey’s Prime Dining and Rae & Jerry’s Steakhouse.

All Tukto guests are met at the airport by Expediters Plus, where their luggage is tagged with Tukto Lodge baggage tags. The expediter can recommend restaurants, casinos, museums or other activities of interest and can arrange transportation to and from the hotel.

On the morning of departure, Expeditors Plus pick up Tukto guests at their hotels by 6:00 a.m. and transport them by bus to the airport. From there a charter plane flies them to the Kasba Lake Airstrip just across the NWT border. They are met by a Tukto representative and quickly board a floatplane for the ride to the main camp at Mosquito Lake, arriving in time for lunch and an afternoon of fine fishing. The simple process is reversed for the return trip to Winnipeg.
