Which Fish Species Will You Catch in Yellowknife, NWT?

One of the biggest thrills of fishing in Yellowknife is the variety of species you can hook on any given day. Whether you’re after an unforgettable fight, a record-breaking catch, or simply the joy of catching something beautiful, our multi-day guided tours offer it all.

Here’s what you can expect to reel in.

Giant Canadian Northern Pike

Northern Pike is legendary in these parts, and for a good reason. Known for their aggressive strikes, lightning-fast runs, and sharp teeth, these giants of the north offer one of the most exhilarating freshwater fishing experiences you’ll find anywhere. Here, pulling in pike that stretch over 40 inches long isn’t uncommon. When you’re looking for heart-pounding action and a photo-worthy trophy, this is the fish you want.

Trophy-Sized Lake Trout

Lake Trout are a cornerstone of northern Canadian fishing. These deep-water predators are known for their powerful resistance and are often found lurking in the cooler depths of Yellowknife’s pristine lakes. Anglers love the challenge of bringing in a big one, with some weighing over 30 pounds. Whether you’re vertical jigging or trolling, landing a Lake Trout here is an unforgettable achievement.

Eye-Catching Artic Grayling

While smaller than Pike and Lake Trout, Arctic Grayling (also known as the bluefish) is a favorite among anglers for its striking appearance. Their iridescent scales and large, sail-like dorsal fins make them one of the North’s most beautiful freshwater species. Often found in fast-moving rivers and streams, they put up a fun fight and are perfect for anyone looking for a lighter tackle challenge.
