Fishing Techniques

• For Lake char

  Target lake trout in deep, cold water during the summer months, focusing on areas with structure or drop-offs; use a fish finder to locate schools of fish and baitfish.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For Arctic grayling

  Arctic grayling often feed in riffles and runs, so focus your efforts in these areas and use a drag-free drift when fly fishing.
