Fishing near Cambridge Bay, Nunavut


Cambridge Bay sits on the southern coast of Victoria Island in Nunavut's Kitikmeot region, surrounded by the cold, clear waters of Dease Strait and a network of Arctic lakes. The area is defined by its Arctic char fishery — both in the surrounding lakes and, most notably, in the Ekaluk River (Ekalluk), one of the most productive sea-run char rivers in the Canadian Arctic.
