Fishing Welcome to Aylmer Lake Lodge on the barren-lands of the Northwest Territories, where you can fish in July with the sun shining for 24 hours a day. The waters you are fishing are crystal clear so you will be able to see a long way down. There is zero fishing pressure because our lakes are remote. Expect to catch 15 - 30 pound fish with very excellent opportunities to catch 40-60lb lake trout. While you are out on the water Canada is where the animals are unique and majestic on the barren-lands. At our lodges we are located in the prime area for caribou viewing, thousands of Caribou migrate through annually, Arctic Wolves they follow the caribou as this is a main source of food for the wolves. The possibility of seeing the pre historic Muskox lumbering along the barren grounds, grizzly bears, and the odd Wolverine prowling through there hunting grounds.

Our Territory Our area is located in the northern barren-lands region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. We are located past the boreal forest into the barren-lands, that are renown for their giant lakes and river drainage that makes for tremendous fishing. It also offers viewing of many species of animals as it's a game rich environment. The population on the barren-lands is high with populations estimated in the thousands. You will be remote, which puts you in the heart of massive giant Lake Trout as well as where these majestic animals live and roam. All of our Fishing Lodges lie within the Northwest Territory CLOSED caribou zone. The Caribou are a main food source for the wolves so the wolves follow the caribou herds. This is a prime area for caribou, arctic wolves, muskox and wolverines that offer great photo opportunities as they present.
What to Expect We will have two people per boat. You can expect to catch 30-50 fish per day avg. size 15-30lb, Expect to have opportunities to catch very large Lake Trout 30-60lbs. We have 7 sub species of lake trout and they all look different, different body colouration, head size and shape, different fin colourations. These fish are feisty on the line, they roll like crazy in the net, and expect to see lake trout chasing you lake trout on the line. No down riggers needed fish are sallow. The water is about 52F and the thermal climate does not have these lakes flipping half way through the summer. Our open water fishing produces lots of consistent fish sizes of 15-30 pounds on average with opportunity for fish in the 50 - 60lb range. Fly fishing is excellent with dry flies and streamers. Remember the water is in the Arctic so it never warms up like southern waters so the fish stay shallow all summer long.
