Moosebunk Posted October 28, 2019 Report Posted October 28, 2019 Some days now I can't remember what fishing stories get passed along where, and that's weird cause I write about half what I used to. Early Old Timers starting, who knows? What I do know is that it was a miserable rainy day today and that being so I slipped away back into some Arctic sun my missus, friends and self all enjoyed this past July... Arctic Circle Lodge is a self-guided fishing experience on Great Bear Lake NWT and it is there where lake trout numbers are just absolutely staggering. Some years back I think it was about 285 fish Bren and I caught over the six days fishing with some good big greys in the mix. This year little had changed except that we were a group of six instead of two. BIG, BIG fish this summer too, Bren caught her first over 40 pounds while other's picked up PB's as well. With a drone along, my buddy captured some great videos and photos, including the photoshoot and release of Bren's giant. The extra shots make this report something special. Anyways, it's a cool read, loaded with pictures and for those whose fishing is slowing down, it's good and free entertainment to pass the time. Here's the link... Strokes & Putts Fish Plummer's Arctic Circle Lodge. Later doods! :) 4
Terry Posted October 28, 2019 Report Posted October 28, 2019 Wow, and I have only looked at all the photos I will need to find time to sit and read this book. 1
muskybw Posted October 28, 2019 Report Posted October 28, 2019 WOW, great pics of huge fish !well done folks. 1
the spirit of fishing Posted October 28, 2019 Report Posted October 28, 2019 Outstanding once again! I wonder how long the "Neutron Dance" will be echoing in my mind?😊 Already looking forward to you reporting on your next adventure. 1
grt1 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Posted October 28, 2019 STOP posting pictures like that the green drool of envy is running down from my lips onto my shirt. 1
BillM Posted October 28, 2019 Report Posted October 28, 2019 I dunno if there is anything I like more then big greasers. The fact that this is self guided as well really sets it apart from being in a boat with a guide all day, lol. Awesome man, one day I'll be joining you on one of these adventures 1
Moosebunk Posted October 29, 2019 Author Report Posted October 29, 2019 Thanks fellas! Bill, I can see this trip happening again some years down the road. For big lakers there is no better place than Bear. For numbers, Arctic Circle may be hard to beat as well. Won't be heading back anytime soon, cause it's kind of a case of been there, done that at the moment... but as years go by plenty places are worth a revisit and, changing it up with a different group can make it new again. You and the missus as part of a group of 12 would be great! Of all the northern spots for bucketlist lakers, this should be the top one.
