Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Northwest Territories fishing

Wow, talk about a triggered snowflake lol.

I love that one...you are obviously not familiar with either place. Alaskans come here by the droves to fish our waters. Just take a look at our fishing regs.....its so common Alaskans are treated just like residents.....

+1..lived in Alaska for a decade and many Summers we made the trek across Canada to NW Ontario.

We enjoyed our wild salmon, but never ate one that tasted like an Ontario walleye!

Gerry,

i really love the pike in any seasons. we have a stocked lake with artic char not far from the town so i love them but we are not going often, i love lake trout too ... i ate walleye long time ago but pike is really the favourite for us and there is so many good way to make them and even to avoid the bones ...

Good Morning Yukon phil,

I have fished all over Canada and caught many little Pike and walleye.

Why would I fish in Canada when I can fish in Alaska or the US for great Bass , Muskie , etc? The Innoko River is the place to fish for big Pike.

I never exchanged a word with canada fish and game ....but their attitude towards Americans is not something I want to deal with. A number of lodges I stayed at are apologetic for the attitude of fish & game.
I used to love going to Canada to fish and hunt, but things slowly change.

I may be dense , but I am not going to fish in Canada any longer . Not worth the hassle,. For little reward.

You can watch the news ...I do not have time to waste.

I did take a spin around the Gaspe Peninsula with my wife last year.....but I didn't fish , Although I understand there are some big Muskies in the St. Lawrence.

I don't post pics or stories about my trips ...as I feel too much like a braggart , if you want to dispute that ...go ahead. I think you live it by watching hunting shows on tv.

The crazy liberalism in Canada can make you so proud....you must be one of them. Perhaps , you are not fit to own firearms .




I believe the US could take over Canada with a strongly worded letter. EH!

Pike was the most numerous, easily caught fish where I grew up. I never knew that in some opinions, they don't taste good. They tasted even better when I learned to filet & take y bones out.

i do not know what to say ....

i do not watch hunting or fishing shows do not need to dream about hunting there ... lol im living where most of the hunters dream to come .... even guided some shows lol for fishing or hunting ....

i do not think anybody has an attitude about a nation or people but if someone is a prick then the story is different and if your actual behavior is the same as on the intraweb then you desserved hundred time what you got.

like David i did my share in the army not the US one but that is not the point.

in the history seems even the White house burnt and one time.

sometimes Yukoners are going in Alaska for fishing in the Pacific but i do not think fishing here can be beaten except for salmons ...

most of the people wont eat them up to the time they tried, then of course learning the filet thing.

pike from cold , clean water taste just as good as walleye in my opinion

Everyone has rules in this game and for me the customer it’s up to the outfitter to figure that out.

I really don’t care if the Canadians or whomever have an attitude because I have choice like all of you and can take my business elsewhere.

I have looked at Alaska, Iceland, Greenland, Sweden and the
U.S. and I will go to each of those destinations for fishing and sightseeing.

I had a nice long conversation with Yukon254 and expect to visit him in the future.

He exemplifies what I expect as a customer and that’s how I treat my clients.

Bottom line is that’s all I asked was for a recommendation to fish in the NWT. Could care less about their leaders liberal attitude.

As was said, Northern Pike from cold, clear water is on-par with walleye. I still regard the jumbo yellow perch as king of flavor, but ya gotta get 'em early in the season. they can get wormy after June....

Gerry, Lake trout is a very yellow meat and it is also excellent. They can take a long, long time to grow large so we usually tossed them back in Alaska.
Salmon were much more prolific and as good to eat, or better. Our fave is/was Copper river sockeye (reds) or Yukon king salmon.
