Black Bear Fishing offers a truly unique combination of a tranquil setting and the excitement of world-class fishing. Family owned and operated for over seven decades, the lodge sits on Crow Lake with 214 islands and 24 miles of deep, spring-fed waters — ideal for trout and for life-long memories. The wilderness of the Canadian Shield is your backdrop for awe-inspiring scenery, wildlife, hunting, and snowmobiling. Eight modern, fully-equipped cottages and a main lodge with home-cooked meals, fresh baked goods and carefully honed, personalized attention await at the end of every perfect day!

Fishing

Black Bear Fishing offers all the benefits of a fly-to resort with drive-to convenience. Here are some 13 species of fish. Crow Lake awaits with its lake trout, smallmouth and legendary muskie; a nearby private launch takes you to the million-acre Lake of the Woods for walleye, crappie and more.

Hunting

In fall, the deer hang plentifully in Black Bear’s fish house. This is the place for groups who love independent hunting; deer and duck thrive here and the resort maintains four cabins just for the hunt!

Lake

Beautiful, clear, spring-fed Crow Lake is over 300 feet deep, but you can look down into the water for what seems like forever. Black Bear Fishing sits at its edge, the area’s only resort fully equipped for both a boat ride and a refreshing swim; portage lakes are easily accessible as well.
