WHERE: Thelon River, Nunavut

WHEN: July 2023

DETAILS: On a 40-day, 950-kilometre canoe expedition down the Thelon River through the Barren Lands of Nunavut and the N.W.T., Julie Dano and her husband, Jeff, caught hundreds of lakers and Arctic grayling. But when Jeff hooked this 41-incher, they had to beach their canoe to safely land the fish. As the photo shows, the bugs were thick, but Julie says the fishing and incredible scenery made it all worthwhile.
