Fishing in Qausuittuq National Park

All sport and recreational fishing is prohibited in Qausuittuq National Park waters. Qausuittuq covers a cluster of Arctic islands in Nunavut, established in 2015 and spanning more than 11,000 square kilometres.

The waters within the park — including the Bracebridge River, Stuart River, Twilight Creek, and Snowbird Creek — are closed to all sport and recreational fishing.

This is not a seasonal closure or a catch-and-release restriction: the prohibition applies across the park.

The park has long been a traditional hunting and fishing area for Inuit of Resolute Bay, and that relationship with the land and water remains part of the park's identity. But for visiting anglers, there is nothing to plan here.

If you are travelling to this part of Nunavut with a rod, your fishing will need to happen outside the park boundary.
