Rates and Bookings
2026 Fishing Packages – Experience the best fishing Reindeer Lake has to offer. Different options for different budgets
Fly/Drive Option: This package is for the cost conscious that want all the perks of a full American Plan but are willing to use some of their own time before and after the trip. This involves getting yourself to Saskatoon and then driving to Southend, SK. From there, depending on the price options you choose, you board a covered boat or a float plane to Tate Island Lodge. $3300+tax boat in, $3900+tax float plane in based on 5 full days of fishing. See below for further details.
Charter from Saskatoon Option: The time is money option. Please contact us with your group size and we will provide a budget accordingly.
Tate Island Lodge is a boutique operation with big camp infrastructure. This means that during your stay, your group may have the property to yourselves or you may share the property with one or two other small groups. We don’t expect to have more than 8-12 guests at any given time, THAT’S IT! Your evening down time spent in and around our massive lodge will be anything but crowded. In addition, we’ve switched the whole camp over to solar power therefore the hum of the generator is kept to a minimum and our guests can enjoy what they prefer to hear on their adventure away from the city, THE SOUNDS OF NATURE!
Drive/Fly-In or Boat
Our drive/fly-in option is achieved by driving yourself to the south end of Reindeer Lake, Southend, SK. This is done by flying in to Saskatoon, renting a SUV and driving approximately 6 hours north to Southend (or, we can quote a shuttle at your request). From there you will choose to board a Tate Island Lodge chartered float plane to Tate Island Lodge or ride in our well equipped Hewescraft boat up to the lodge. The lesser rate is for the boat, the more expensive rate is for the float plane. The float plane ride is 30 minutes, the boat is a scenic 2 hours. Dates are flexible, contact us to discuss your dates, we do our best to work with your desired schedule. Our 5 day, 6 (or 5) night trip using the boat-in option is $3300 USD plus tax and our 5 day, 6 (or 5) night trip using the float plane option is $3900 USD plus taxes. All rates quoted are based on 5 days of fishing. If more or less days are wanted, contact us for a custom quote. Less days increase the rate when broken down by a daily ratio, more days decrease the rate when broken down by a daily ratio.
Charter from Saskatoon
Our charter option includes getting yourself to Saskatoon, then boarding a charter to Southend, SK early the next morning. From Southend you’ll board a float plane for a short 30 minute flight to Tate Island where you will be fishing that afternoon (and into that first evening if you wish).
DIY Option
Have a larger group that loves comfort but prefers to manage their own day to day? This is available from July 13 to September 30th. Experience Tate Island with basic service. Enjoy the first class accommodations but with an outpost camp twist and significantly less cost. Bring your own food with full use of our lodge kitchen and be your own fishing guide (guides still available on request). Due to the various ways this package can be tailored, please contact us for pricing. Include the number of people in your party, preferences (guide or no guide), and use of our boats or bring your own.

Bear Hunting
5 days, 5 or 6 nights $4,400USD plus taxes, license, taxidermy, and gratuities. We offer limited tags for both June and September to manage our resource and ensure the maximizing of opportunities for large bears. The bears in our region offer numerous color phases and generally of high quality as our guests can get great opportunities for Boone and Crockett/Pope and Young class bears. Once your hunt is complete, you are welcome to fish on your own or hire one of our guides to fish with you for the remainder of your trip.
A helpful hint: when researching your bear hunt, ask our competition how many tags they are planning to sell, the size of their area, and number of hunting locations they have because at Tate Island, we pride ourselves in limiting our tag sales giving our guests the best opportunities for big bears.
