Fort Resolution Fishing: 7-Day Taltson Adventure

Get ready for the fishing trip of a lifetime in the rugged beauty of Canada's Northwest Territories. Our 7-day all-inclusive package at Taltson Bay Big Pike Lodge puts you right in the heart of some of the best pike and walleye fishing around. From the moment you step off the air charter in Yellowknife, you'll be in for a week of non-stop angling action, breathtaking scenery, and the kind of stories you'll be telling for years to come.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're out on Taltson Bay at sunrise, mist rising off the water as you cast your line into the perfect spot. Our seasoned guides know every nook and cranny of these waters, and they're dead set on putting you on the fish. We're talking about monster northern pike that'll test your drag and walleye so plentiful you might think they're jumping in the boat. Each day brings a new adventure, whether you're trolling deep pools, working the weed beds, or trying your luck at some secret honey holes our guides have up their sleeves.

Top Catches This Season

At Taltson Bay, we don't mess around with subpar gear. You'll be fishing from top-notch boats equipped with reliable motors, using gear that's been battle-tested in these waters. Our guides are pros at reading the conditions and knowing just what technique will work best – whether it's tossing big spoons for pike or finessing a jig for walleye. And don't worry if you're new to this kind of fishing; our guides are just as good at teaching as they are at catching, so you'll be reeling them in like a pro in no time.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

It's not just about the fish here (though they're pretty darn impressive). It's the whole package that keeps folks coming back year after year. After a full day on the water, you'll head back to our cozy lodge for a hot meal and some good old-fashioned fish tales. Our all-inclusive setup means you don't have to worry about a thing – we've got your lodging, meals, and even your boat sorted. Plus, with one guide for every two guests, you're getting the kind of personal attention that can make or break a fishing trip.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Northern Pike: These toothy predators are the stars of the show at Taltson Bay. We're talking about pike that can top 40 inches and put up a fight that'll have your arms aching (in the best way possible). Pike here are aggressive and love to hit big, flashy lures. They're most active in the cooler months, so our May to October season is prime time for trophy pike. The thrill of seeing one of these monsters follow your lure and then explode on it is something every angler needs to experience.

Walleye: Don't let the pike steal all the glory – the walleye fishing here is world-class. These golden-eyed beauties are known for their tasty fillets, but they're also a blast to catch. Walleye tend to school up, so when you find them, you can be in for non-stop action. They prefer deeper, cooler water and are often most active during low light conditions. Our guides are experts at finding the perfect structure where walleye like to hang out, and they'll show you how to work a jig or crawler harness to entice these sometimes finicky fish.

Time to Book Your Spot

Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – fishing trips like this don't come around every day. Our season runs from May to October, and spots fill up fast. If you're itching to tangle with some serious northern pike or fill the livewell with plump walleye, now's the time to lock in your dates. Remember, this isn't just a fishing trip – it's a full-on wilderness adventure with all the comforts of home. From the air charter out of Yellowknife to the last fish of your stay, we've got you covered. Don't forget to grab your fishing license before you come, and get ready for the kind of fishing that'll ruin you for anywhere else. Give us a shout, and let's get you out on Taltson Bay – the fish are waiting!

Learn more about the species

Northern Pike

Northern pike are the aggressive predators of our waters, often hitting 2-3 feet long and 10-15 pounds. Look for these long, torpedo-shaped fish in weedy shallows and near drop-offs. They're most active in cooler weather, making spring and fall prime pike season. Anglers love pike for their explosive strikes and powerful runs. These toothy critters will go after just about anything that moves, from small fish to ducks. When targeting pike, use steel leaders to prevent bite-offs. Try casting large spoons or spinners near weed beds, working them with a steady retrieve. For a local trick, try "figure-eighting" your lure boat-side - pike often follow lures and strike at the last second. Watch those teeth when unhooking; we call 'em "water wolves" for a reason. Pike fight hard and make for good eating if prepared right, but most folks here practice catch-and-release to keep the big ones biting.

Walleye

Walleye are a prized catch in our waters, typically reaching 20-30 inches and up to 20 pounds. These golden-olive fish with distinctive glowing eyes prefer deep, cool water during the day, moving to shallows at night to feed. You'll find them around rocky structures, drop-offs, and weed edges. Spring and fall are prime times, but summer nights can be productive too. Anglers love walleye for their tasty, flaky white meat and the challenge they present. They're known for light bites, so stay alert. To boost your chances, try slow-trolling with a bottom bouncer and nightcrawler harness along breaks and edges. When you feel that telltale tap, give it a second before setting the hook. These fish put up a good fight and make for some of the best eating you'll find in freshwater.
