Koojesse Inlet is a significant tidal inlet located near Iqaluit, Nunavut, a city whose Inuktitut name translates to "place of (many) fish," a testament to the area's historical and ongoing importance as a fishing ground. This saltwater inlet is a complex marine environment characterized by strong tidal currents and a substantial tidal range, creating dynamic conditions for anglers. The inlet is bordered by the community of Apex on a small peninsula, which separates it from Tarr Inlet. The waters here are subject to both commercial shipping traffic and ongoing environmental monitoring, reflecting their dual role as a working waterway and a productive ecosystem.

Areas with varied bathymetry and structure adjacent to the strong tidal currents are productive.
