#42 lb lake trout on Whitefish Lake, NWT

To begin this unique adventure, participants must make their way to Yellowknife - the capital city of the Canadian Northwest Territories - and then onward to the remote Chipewayan Dene' Aboriginal settlement of Lutsel K'e, located on the East Arm of Great Slave Lake - an area soon slated to become Canada's newest and largest National Park

This region is steeped in aboriginal & early explorer history, and perhaps you will have the chance to meet and spend time with some of the native elders who once traveled this remote country by dogsled and canoe...

BIG trout spools out the light line and makes er 'sing'... sometime battles last for more than an hour!

We are proud to offer in service our new high-powered pontoon boat - the 'Boo Barge'.  Flown in & built on-site in 2003, we motorized it with a 60 hp Yamaha.  It has proven to be a super-stable platform for fly-fishing while anchored or drifting over the trout spawning reefs; or for slow trolling in comfort!

#36 lb laker on Whitefish Lake

The fishing in the brief Arctic summer is absolutely awesome!  Lake trout are usually in relatively shallow water the entire season, trolling produces as many as 30-100 trout per day per boat (two fishermen), with record days producing as many as 115!  Trout average from the 6 -15 lbs, with many caught weekly in the 20-40 lb range.  Arctic grayling on the upper Thelon River is truly world-class, with fly-rod or ultra-light producing 40-50 at a standing.  The grayling here average 2.5 - 4 lbs.!  On calm evenings, BIG lake grayling will often come in and surface feed right off the camp beach!

Caribou water crossing on the UpperThelon

Depending on the time of summer that you decide you join us, you can choose to take some from fishing to hike and explore to attempt to see wild tundra wolves & their pups during the den cycle; see pre-historic like musk-oxen herds; perhaps view Arctic fox during the den cycle along with thier kit; and migrating and grazing barrenground caribou on their late summer range. From mid-August & later, one often can see fantastic displays of northern lights!

All of our fishing expeditions apply 'catch & release' fish management - meaning that all fish are released excepting those which we eat while at camp, or during shorelunches.
