Gangler’s North Seal River Lodge & Outposts, Northern Manitoba

Join Dan Blanton & Ken Hanley
At Gangler’s North Seal Lodge

July 2 through July 9, 2005

Located in

Northern Manitoba

Gangler’s is proud to again host two of the world’s most well-known and respected fly fishermen, Dan Blanton and Ken Hanley for a great week of camaraderie, learning, and, of course, world-class fly-fishing, July 2 through July 9, 2005 !

Dan has fished with us a total of six times and this will be his third trip to the amazing fishery of the North Seal River. The 2004 trip co-hosted by Dan and Lefty Kreh was a huge success and Dan is very excited about returning in 2005 with Ken Hanley and friends.

Dan became addicted to Northern Canada fly-fishing on previous visits with us and is extremely excited to be co-hosting his third trip to the north Seal with Ken Hanley, his close friend of more than 30 years. Trophy pike, lake trout to 45 lbs., walleye to 12 lbs., and some of North America’s largest Arctic Grayling thrive in these waters and it will be an exciting, action-packed fly-fishing week.

This will be Ken’s first visit to Ganglers lodge and the North Seal River. While this will be his first experience pursuing explosive pike on the fly, Ken is no stranger to hosting groups to exciting angling destinations – world wide. He has vast experience both in fresh and saltwater, catching a horde of fly-eating critters. Ken exudes excitement and enthusiasm and is a pleasure to be around.

The structure of the week is very simple- RELAXED. This is not an ‘official’ clinic and there are no extra charges. It is simply an opportunity to hang-out with two of fly-fishing’s greats, pick their brains, and enjoy some of the world’s finest fly-fishing opportunities.

“The North Seal is a vast drainage that hosts Lakes and rivers that hold the kind of pike, Lake trout and grayling a fly fisher dreams about…”
Lefty Kreh

“My old friend, Lefty Kreh, is the one who first introduced me to pike and Lake trout on the fly in Northern Saskatchewan. Since that first experience with those surface blasting, fly-eating pike and broad-shouldered, bull-dogging lakers I just can’t seem to get my fill of them. Lefty has never steered me wrong and my first trip to Gangler’s Lodge on the North Seal River in 2002 was splendid. Our July, 2004 trip was a huge success and without a doubt produced the best pike action I’ve experienced in a decade. The numbers of big fish were staggering! I can’t wait to share this incredible experience with Ken Hanley.”
Dan Blanton

“I can’t wait to experience the heart-stopping action of Canada’s northern pike. Gangler’s Lodge is perfectly situated to provide a grand home base for this adventure. With the addition of lake trout, grayling, and walleye, I’ll be kept busy… that’s for sure!”
