The Stagg River winds through the remote Tlicho Lands of the Northwest Territories, Canada, positioned at approximately 62°44′N, 115°42′W. This subarctic stream flows through one of Canada's most pristine and least-pressured wilderness regions, offering anglers an authentic backcountry fishing experience far removed from heavily trafficked waters. The surrounding boreal landscape, characterized by vast coniferous forests, wetlands, and Canadian Shield geology, defines both the character of the river and the fishery it supports. For anglers willing to make the journey into this remote corner of the Northwest Territories, the Stagg River represents an opportunity to fish waters that see very little angling pressure.

The Stagg River flows through the Tlicho Lands, and productive fishing areas are typically found at confluences, bends in the river where current slows and structure accumulates, and in pools below any rapids or riffles. Slower, vegetated backwater areas and river margins are prime northern pike habitat, while deeper pools and runs are more likely to hold lake char. The broader Tlicho Lands region surrounding the Stagg River includes additional lakes and waterways that can complement a fishing trip to this area.
