Fishing near Behchokǫ̀, Northwest Territories

Behchokǫ̀ sits in the North Slave region of the Northwest Territories, on the edge of Great Slave Lake — the deepest lake in North America and one of the NWT's marquee fisheries. Marian Lake lies just minutes from town, and the Stagg and Duport rivers are close by. Hunting, fishing, and trapping remain central to life here, and the surrounding lakes and rivers draw anglers after trophy lake trout, northern pike, and Arctic grayling in famously clear northern water.
