A History of Molson Lake Lodge

and the FETT TRADITION

In 1977 Lyle Fett decided to give up the corporate life he was leading and start a new life in the Great Outdoors. He had grew up fishing and hunting in his formative years and it was his first love. He had married Dianne who also grew to share the interests. They had spent countless trips into Canada researching for the right location. Suddenly a small native owned lodge came up for sale on a well known lake.

Lyle learned of this in April, flew in on skis, kicked through the snowbanks and gave the owner $500 earnest money and said, "I will be back in three weeks with a down payment!" This happened and three weeks later the Fett’s owned Molson Lake Lodge.

In 1978 they immediately started building cabins. The next year they started an outpost on Max Lake which turned out to be the premier northern pike lake in Manitoba and one of the best in all of Canada. In 1986 a 4500 foot airstrip was added. By 1989 they were one of the largest fly-in lodges in Manitoba and in Canada.

This huge success story continued by having quality fishing and outstanding customer service.   90% of Molson Lake Lodge’s business is either repeat or referral.  Molson Lake is noted as one of the best fishing lakes in Canada for northern, walleye and lake trout. Max Lake outpost is unbelievable with the biggest northern to date at 59 inches. Little Bolton a new outpost addition in 2001 offers large northern and an incomparable amount of walleye.

Sam Fett who had been involved in the business since 4 years of age is now taking over the reins.  After helping while growing up, he became full time upon graduating from Concordia College.  He is now taking over Molson Lake Lodge - “Where the Action Is”.  He plans on continuing  to provide quality fishing where the customer is #1 -   a continuation of the FETT TRADITION. Dianne & Lyle will continue to work at our home office coordinating everything in preparation for your trip. Thirty years of continued service and quality fishing is yours.  Sam asks you to join him in the upcoming years.
