taloyoak Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 You guys/Gals are probably sick of all the photos already, but if you want to see some more let me know I have literally thousands. here are a bunch more from various places I have lived in the Canadian Arctic. Check out the high tec fishing rods used for ice fishing...lol. Temperatures in Winter go down to -60c( ambient- i.e: without windchill), and in some places upto +25c in Summer, but average summer temp is about 5-10c. 7 weeks of 24hr sun in Summer, and opposite in Winter. Sizes: Lake Trout ( most common fish ) upto 100lbs, Arctic Char ( best tasting in the whole world) upto 70lbs, Pike upto 50lbs, Inconnu( Coney, or Arctic Tarpon) uptp 80lbs. If any of you want unlimited fishing, everylake is literally teeming with fish. There is no one to have to share lakes with, and absolute wilderness/remoteness. There are a few guides up there, but it is such a huge area ( check out the provinces/states of Nunavut and the Northwest Territories ) to see how big it is, and there are only about 30,000 people in the whole province of Nunavut. All communities in Nunavut are fly in only. Average community populations are about 600 people. Smallest is Grise Fiord on Ellesmere Island pop 108, and largest is Iqaluit of about 5000. To see how remote theses places are where I have lived, then look up TALOYOAK, GRISE FIORD, HOLMAN, TUKTOYAKTUK, PAULATUK, GJOA HAVEN, CAPE DORSET, on Google Earth to get an idea. I hope you enjoy the pics. Cheers, Nanook more more more more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lure'em Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Great fish! Do they put up a hard fight on those sticks of wood used for rods? Great pics of the sky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taloyoak Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Lure'em, LOL!.... either you get them or they snap the line- that was until i started using nylon climbing/parachute cord!, because I was sick and tired of being busted of by massive fish. Those monster pike in the photos were caught in about 3 ft of water ( after you drill through 8ft of ice, there is only about 3-4ft of water before the bottom. The Pike come into this shallow bay after small smelts/whitefish)- I call that place " Land of the Giants"...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveD Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Lovin' the pics mate More more more :D "Check out the high tec fishing rods used for ice fishing." I'm sure many people down here would be thinking "are you for real?!" .. "you won't get any fish like that". It's a bit wow to me as well. The scenary looks beautiful, the fish, fishing, community, it would all just be a bonus I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
