Very few people have been fortunate enough to experience the exquisite pleasures & finesse of fly-fishing the remote tundra lakes and rivers of the Canadian Far North!

 

Lakers along the Thelon are continious!

The Thelon River, located at the most western reaches of the Territory of Nunavut - has been deemed by the Fisheries Department as one of the best habitats for Arctic grayling in North America!  The grayling run huge here - the average size bring 2.5 lbs., with many running to the 4.5 range.  The largest to date was 5.2 lbs. - just short of the worlds record!  Huge lake trout and northern pike are also found in abundance along this section of river!

This coming August, we are offering a special opportunity to float the central Thelon River on the remote tundra. Using canoes with motorized zodiac support, we will float, camp and fish along a 50-mile section of the seldom-visited & rarely fished Thelon River.
