The Outpost Season 3, Your Weekly Headquarters
Three teams of anglers are travelling to Viking Lodge in Northern Manitoba to face off in a multispecies ice fishing competition.
This blog is your home base each week, you will find episode links as they drop and quick teasers added after every release.
Season 3's Location: Viking Lodge, Cranberry Portage
Viking Lodge is situated on the Cranberry Chain of Lakes near Cranberry Portage, offering a northern setting perfect for adventure. The lodge operates as a family-owned business, the kind of place where you feel at home the moment you arrive.

Winter anglers love the convenience, premium fuel and propane on site, an in-house restaurant so you can pack lighter, a well-stocked tackle shop with local know-how, and spacious winterized cabins that make evenings comfortable after long days on the ice. The nearby lakes offer quality fishing across the board, with consistent walleye, heavy northern pike, feisty lake trout, and colourful rainbow trout, all of which have an average size that keeps anglers coming back.

Add to that, Viking’s proximity to Lake Athapapuskow puts true trophy lake trout within reach. Guided days with professionals like Mac Mulligan and Scott Connolly unlock classic Athapap structure, from mid lake humps to deep mud flats, where that next big mark can turn into a lifetime fish.
