June 25 2023: Day 3 Guiding back at Frontier Lodge on the East arm of Great Slave Lake. For our third day in a row we are heading across Christie Bay towards Fortress Island to begin our day jigging for Lake Trout. 
Jigging at Fortress proves to be successful but we decide to move on after a bunch of lodge boats all show up to do the same thing. 

Initially move on to fishing the flats across from the Old Doctors cabin just before you reach Wildbread Gap. Fished Wilbread Gap and caught some decent fish there too. Got Surround by lodge boats and leap frogged them all and went to the Entrance / Point at Wildbread. Caught lots of fish there.. stopped and had a brief shore lunch and then moved on to what I call my little piece of heaven - Majestic Bay! It's a long drive to get there and that is why I like fishing multiple spots along the way.. breaks up the day but makes for a shorter fishing time at Majestic Bay. I typically plan to have lunch at the Entrance / Point of Wildbread and then IMMEDIATELY after lunch we make a B-LINE all the way to Majectic Bay and fish it for a good 2 hours and then its a good 2 hour boat ride back to Frontier Lodge. Seems like a LOOONG boat ride - but trust me - IT IS WELL WORTH THE TRIP! The fishing has ALWAYS been so spectacular at the entrance to Majestic Bay because NO ONE ever fishes it so there is limited to NO fishing pressure at this location... 

Last time I was back in there was 2016 as bad weather prevented us from being able to get my dad back in there in 2019 - which was upsetting! But I got him and my mom back in there 2 days after this and we had an EPIC day to REMEMBER!!! That video will be coming soon!!!

I would like to acknowledge that the land in which I film “Frontier Fishing with Ryan MacDonald” are treaty lands of the Łutsël K’é Dene First Nation, Northwest Territory Métis Nation, Deninu Kųę First Nation, and Yellowknives Dene First Nation. I am extremely grateful for having the opportunity to work alongside the Łutsël K’é Dene First Nation people and for the opportunity to spend time on your traditional ancestral lands. These lands are culturally rich and spiritually significant where the continued relationship between the land and Indigenous people highlights the importance of protected areas. We will continue to work together as environmental stewards to protect the ancestral lands and the newly created Thaidene Nëné National Park Reserve - “The Land of the Ancestors”
