About Lac La Martre
Anglers know Lac La Martre as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of Northwest Territories, Canada. The standard playbook on a lake this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Lac La Martre is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.
