Well Worth The Travel

Although the Northwest Territories offers the exotic and the remote, getting here is easy. Three airlines, Canadian North, First Air and Air Canada provide several jet flights a day from Edmonton, Calgary or Vancouver, Canada, to Yellowknife, the capital. From Yellowknife, Norman Wells or Inuvik, local airlines with float-equipped aircraft carry travelers to terrific fishing locales, deep in the untouched wilderness. The overpopulated fishing holes of the south are a far-away memory. Here, the land is filled with stillness, water and fish. The Northwest Territories is pure fishing poetry.
