High Arctic Lodge
Nunavut, Canada

"For over 30 years High Arctic Lodge has been one of the pioneers in the practice of catch & release. Our guides are trained and instructed to release if at all possible all fish caught. Lake Trout on Victoria Island usually spawn in early August and the Arctic Char spawn in late September early October once the ice has formed on the lakes.

Our pilots are very good at following the Arctic Char as they move from area to area as the season progresses and will make sure you are always in the best possible spot."

TRIP SUMMARY:

Victoria island is located in the western Arctic some 300 miles high above the Arctic Circle in Nunavut, Canada. Some of the rivers and streams are the best you can possibly get for fly fishing and hold many of the current line class records. Both fresh sea run char nicknamed "Silver Bullets" and brillant red char are hooked by fly fisherman averaging 10 lbs with fish over 20 and even 25 pounders landed each week. Daily fly-outs take anglers to the best waters based upon the migration patterns during the peak summer months. Average temperature can be in the high 20's Celsius during the day dipping below zero at night. The land of the midnight sun allows plenty of daylight hours to fish.

• Bring along a few fly rods from 8-10 weights both in single handed versions and 13’- 15’spey rods.

• A quality reel with a smooth drag system is a must as is several hundred yards of 30 lb backing.

• Floating lines are the norm Arctic Char but when fishing for Lake Trout sink tips of varying densities can be used.

• Leaders and tippets range from 3' to 12' with a breaking strength of 10 lbs to 20 lbs.

• Good quality waders with boat friendly soles (no studs allowed).

• A rain coat, multiple layers for cold and windy days add to the anglers comfort and make for enjoyable long days on the water and protection against the elements.

• Mosquito repellent may be necessary early in our season. We also have it available at the lodge.

• An inflatable fly vest or suspenders are a good substitute to a bulky life jacket and should be worn at all times on the water.

• Personal gear is up to you but you'll need a good pair of hiking boots.
