10 incredible only-in-Canada fishing adventures for any angler’s bucket list

#7 North Lake, P.E.I.

This is the jumping off point from the land of Green Gables for a north Atlantic adventure in pursuit of humongous bluefin tuna. Not only are numerous charters based here, it’s also home to the Canada International Tuna Cup Challenge.

#8 Rocky Mountains, B.C.

Take one helicopter, endless snow-capped peaks and thousands of kilometres of wild, free-flowing rivers laced with rainbow, Dolly Varden and cutthroat trout. Then sprinkle in enough picture postcard scenery to take away your breath.

#9 Tree River, Nunavut

The float plane flight alone over the Barren Lands is awe-inspiring, right down to landing on the Tree itself. But it’s the chance to tackle the planet’s largest Arctic char that makes this legendary remote river a truly magical place.

#10 Victoria Island, Nunavut

Here in the High Arctic, the island’s lake trout grow slowly, but to giant proportions, as do the unique, fiery orange Arctic char. Herds of muskoxen and caribou only add to the mystique of Canada’s second largest island.
