Fishing

At the height of summer, the sun does not set. This natural phenomenon makes late night fishing one of those great advantages of our region. You will effortlessly find a private fishing spot at one of our rivers or lakes. Fishing here is something else!
 
Prevent being fined by purchasing a fishing license at the Conservation Office or Territorial Agent.
 
A wide range of fishing gear and related equipment is available at the Hardware Store in Faro.

Some of the fish species to catch in our lakes and rivers
  • Rainbow trout
  • Kokanee salmon
  • Arctic char
  • Jackfish
  • Lake trout
  • Arctic Grayling

Safety tips

  • Dress according to weather situation
  • Be prepared for weather changes
  • Wear a life jacket when fishing from a boat
  • Let someone know where you go and when they can expect you to be back
  • Do not take risks as the consequences of bad judgments could result in drowning.
