Great Fishing from Yellowknife

Yellowknife is a perfect starting point for a fishing trip beyond your wildest dreams. There’s Great Slave Lake, home to 35 kg lake trout and monster northern pike. Choose a lodge on the shoreline and fish day and night. Or pick a weekend trip on Yellowknife Bay, the East Arm or the North Arm with a local outfitter.

Land an Arctic grayling, a fine eating whitefish with a sail-like dorsal fin. Long gone from less pristine southern waters, grayling and pickerel thrive here in our clean, fast flowing streams and rivers.

Pick a small lodge on its own spectacular lake. There are a dozen lodges just minutes by air from Yellowknife, plus two airlines equipped to take you there. You can select full service with guides and meals included, or do-it-yourself housekeeping. Whichever you choose – the fishing and the scenery will be beyond your expectations.
