Our Story Angling Thrills Around Yellowknife Blessed with a seemingly endless expanse of clean, fresh water, the NWT boasts some of the most spectacular sport fishing in the world. Several charter boat operators can take you to spots on Great Slave Lake or up the Yellowknife River for a pleasant outing any day or evening of the season.
All equipment is supplied.
And for real trophy sport, book a weekend or a week at one of several lodges on wilderness lakes within reach of a short charter floatplane ride. There is no limit to the furious adventure which awaits the avid fisherman. But to preserve this angling paradise, certain regulations are enforced. All anglers in the NWT must possess a valid sport fishing licence. These can be purchased from the Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans offices, most sport fishing goods and hardware stores, as well as from the RCMP and from the district offices of the NWT Wildlife Services.
