Upper Thelon Tundra Outpost 

Northwest Territories, Canada

 

Located 120 airmiles NE of Lutsel K'e or 236 airmiles NE of Yellowknife, NWT - this outpost may be one the most remote fishing spots on planet earth!  The comfortable tent basecamp is nestled in a sheltered sandy 'esker' along the shores of 35 mile long  by 20 mile wide Whitefish Lake - the true headwaters of the Thelon River.

Only a short boat ride from the camp will bring you to the depths of  huge Whitefish Lake, and world-class trophy lake trout fishing.  The Thelon River outlet is also only a reachable boat trip further on for incredible Arctic grayling fishing with ultra-light or fly rod equipment.  The nearby ponds and small lakes often have BIG northern pike!

At this remote tundra lake you can fish all you want for world-class lake trout and arctic grayling (catch & release except for which you eat). Depending on the time of summer, you will likely see musk-oxen, wolves or migrating caribou!

The outpost is located on a  beautiful esker with extensive sand beaches, and consists of two 14' x 16' Hansen Weatherport vinyl Quonset huts on plywood floor platforms. These units are insulated, and heated with propane catalytic heaters.  Each unit has 2 beds with foam mattresses. There is also a screened dining building / kitchen, complete with tables, chairs,  stove, preparation counter, pots, pans and dishes to comfortably accommodate four persons.  There is a satellite telephone at the camp for emergency communication to the main camp, or to the outside world.  There is an outdoor latrine.
