Best Arctic char fishing spot in the world!

December 21, 2024

Just got back from a 3 day trip to Great Slave Lake with my Dad at Plummers. We could not have been happier. Our guide Tristian (Frenchie) was amazing, he taught us some new techniques and was shoulders deep in the water giving it his all to help land the 32.5 lbs monster Lake Trout I caught. The food was incredible, especially the shore lunches and the staff were amazing including Whitney who bartends and does about 20 other jobs around the camp. Thanks Plummers, the memories made on this trip will last a lifetime.

If you want to have a full week of bucket list fly fishing. You definitely need to go to Plummer's Arctic Lodge. My wife and I had the an amazing day of arctic char fly fishing with guides Reid Stoyberg and Alex Ginther on the Tree River. My wife and I consider that day to be the best fly fishing experience ever in our lives! To land so many big colourful arctic char was an outstanding experience. Our fly outs to the Sulky River to catch so many gigantic arctic grayling and on to the Coppermine River where chrome hard fighting char is the order of the day were totally worth every penny! The lake trout fly fishing on Great Bear Lake is mind boggling to us. The next tug could be a monster laker that you just dream about catching! The knowledgeable guides are ready for fly fishers. That makes each day so memorable!

We enjoyed a wonderful adventure at Great Slave Lake Lodge. The Lodge staff made us feel right at home. The meals were very good and home made. The accommodations are very tired and should be updated. The fishing was fabulous. We enjoyed our days out with our very experienced and friendly guide Bob. We caught fish of a lifetime. Not just one or two ……. So many each day , my arms are sore by the end of the day. The landscape and scenery was breathtaking. The shore lunches were unforgettable. The experience was truly a trip of a lifetime. I would highly recommend this adventure for couples looking for something fun. I hope to return.
