Corbett Inlet is a remote and productive marine inlet on the west coast of Hudson Bay in Nunavut, Canada. This Arctic water body is a significant destination for anglers targeting migratory Arctic char, offering a true wilderness fishing experience characterized by pristine waters and abundant wildlife. The inlet is part of a network of essential char fishing rivers and coastal areas identified for their ecological importance. Access is challenging, requiring careful planning and often the use of fly-in lodges or guided expeditions from nearby communities like Rankin Inlet.
