Family fishing trip to Canada produces “a serenity of the mind” for Vukelic family at Webber’s Lodges

Washington Irving must have fished the waters of North Knife Lake, given his description of fishing’s ability to produce “a serenity of the mind.” This serenity is the experience my family has been afforded through the combined efforts of the Webber Family and the whole staff at Webber’s Lodges.

Our family has been enjoying the serenity of North Knife Lake Lodge for five years now. It is the highlight of our year, as all five brothers; three grandsons and their grandfather enjoy the camaraderie as well as the hospitality of another fine family, the Webbers.

While the fishing is the highlight of our excursion, it is everything else that makes our yearly trek so worthwhile and memorable. The relaxing aftermath of a day’s worth of fishing in the Lodge with a roaring fire, cocktails, snacks and the recounting of the action on the water, capture the essence of this serenity. 

The quiet nature of the wilderness in anticipation of catching that elusive Master Angler, the bald eagles circling above, moose cooling off in the water, and a caribou calf satisfying its thirst at the water’s edge. These are just a few of the serene moments we have all enjoyed while on the water at North Knife Lake. As a family, we have been very fortunate to share these and many more memorable experiences.

We treasure our time away from the business of life in general, and from the day to day operation of our own family business. The three pillars of our business back in Buffalo and Saratoga Springs, New York are Team, Trust, and Tradition. Webber’s Lodges certainly, in our minds, embodies these attributes. 

The team assembled at Webber’s Lodges really understands what it takes to be successful. Your customers are made to feel like family, which builds the trust you need to carry on with your tradition of excellence. Thank you for another year of unmatched hospitality.

 

We all look forward to many more “serene” moments with you in the North Country!
