Canoeing

Nonacho Lake is the 8th largest lake in the Northwest Territories Canada with a size of 784sq.km. Most anglers who visit Nonacho Lake, only fish and explore a small portion of the lake because of its vastness.

2024 will be an opportunity to explore and fish remote outposts on the lake by canoe!

Join us in 2024 on this exciting outpost adventure as you paddle the remote waters of the Taltson River & Nonacho Lake.

A remarkable natural treat will be the excellent opportunity to view Musk Oxen in the wild. Over 100 Muskox were spotted in 2023 while canoeing this route. Participants may encounter Moose, Wolves, Bears, and possibly Caribou, as well as Mink, Marten, Lynx and Wolverine.

You will arrive in a remote section of the lake and travel and fish by canoe, camp in tents, and complete your experience arriving at camp on the eve of your return to Yellowknife just in time for a hot shower and a catered dinner in the camp gazebo.

Both outpost trips occur in the early season when lake trout are near the surface. Trout fishing will be productive for fish in the 5 – 25 lb pound range with a lake record of 60lbs. When caught on the surface from a canoe, that will be quite a thrill. Giant Northern Pike are quite possible on this eight-day excursion with a lake record of 40lbs.
