Anglers will find waters filled with trophy walleye, lake trout, northern pike, tullibee, rainbow trout, brook trout, and burbot. Hunters will embark on a northern black bear hunt they’ll never forget. And groups of friends and family members will enjoy the Lodge’s hospitality, even if they’re simply after a relaxing outdoor getaway.

A BIT ABOUT US

Meet your outdoor adventure experts.

Viking Lodge is owned and operated by Paul & Anita Wiens and Matthew & Sharnell Wiens.

Paul and Matthew are brothers who grew up in Southern Manitoba. Both are avid anglers. Matthew is also an avid hunter. In 2015, the two couples decided to pursue the dream of owning a fishing lodge. In less than a year it became a reality as they settled into their new home at Viking Lodge.

In June of 2020 they welcomed Cranberry’s top fishing prospect to the world. Matthew and Sharnell became the proud parents of Morgan Barlow Cash Wiens. Immediately they signed him to an entry level deal when they saw his potential. Today they are proud to announce that Morgan Wiens is now signed long term with the Viking Lodge team. His father and uncle have both made it to the big leagues, so the future is bright for this rising star.
