In early summer, you’ll find Lake Trout in the clear and shallow waters off the points and reefs of lakes with a ferocious hunger. Breaking your personal record is a common occurrence when casting for Lake Trout in the NWT, and you may even break a world-record while you’re at it.įishing for Lake Trout in the NWT can often land you a catch weighing between 15 kg (33 lbs) and 25 kg (55 lbs), but every year more anglers walk away with stories of record-setting Lake Trout coming in at a scale-crushing 35 kg (77 lbs)! The depths of Great Slave Lake and Great Bear Lake are the most famous hunting grounds for these beasts, but gargantuan trout can be found even in smaller lakes. But what really shocks fishers is how quickly another trout comes along to tug on your line.

In lakes across the territory, these colossal fish are the lords and they live up to their reputation with their astonishing size and fierce fight.

The waters of the Northwest Territories are home to the most incredible Lake Trout in Canada.
