Canadian Fishing Lodge – Enjoying Comfort And Excellent Fishing In Amazing Locations

You must have wondered at some point of time or the other about the credibility of those television-shows that go gaga over fishing in Canada. Now, we don't blame you, we know that the TV shows have a habit of sprouting utter crap. But guess what, thankfully this time they aren't lying! Fishing in Canada is really everything that you have ever heard about it. The fishes are really quite as big as the gleeful hosts on TV tell you and the scenery really is quite breathtaking.

Stretched between the east coast of the Maritime Provinces and the extensively forested shoreline on the west of British Columbia the Canadian fishing area draws thousands of anglers every year to see and experience the joy of fishing in Canada. Almost every province in Canada offers special fishing opportunities that are particularly unique to them. Each of them have large stretches of virgin lakes and rivers in the northern area. Take Ontario for instance. With 95% of its meager population living in the southern areas only 10% of the province's total land mass can be called 'occupied'. The rest of it, and the rest is really a huge area, is scattered with vast, beautiful, sparkling clear lakes and rivers. And each of them is choc-a-bloc with fishes!

So if you want to go fishing, whether on a weekend retreat with your family or on your own for a 'once in a lifetime experience' come to Canada.

Mind you it's not an easy treat. Like former visitors will no doubt tell you a number of provinces, especially in the north (like say Nunavut) have almost no roads at all! Even visiting the far-flung northern lake is a difficult ordeal that can be undertaken only on a floatplane!! But that ought not to keep the true-blue angler away, after all Canada owns more I.G.F.A records than any of the other fresh water areas in the World. In fact the N.W.T houses the 5th largest fresh water body on the planet.

So what makes the Canadian fishes so big and sumptuous? Well here is what. The conditions in Canada are such that most lakes remain frozen for a good part of the year. Take the Great Bear Lake for instance; it's 12,500 square miles of vastness remains covered with ice for almost 265 days f the year! Thanks to the super cold water the fishes swimming in it mature slowly and can live up to a neat 60 to 80 years!!! Also take into consideration that there are no more than 500 people living on this lake. Four of the finest fishing lodges in Canada are scattered round this area. Most of the fishing lodges in Canada function for only 2 months in a year. Each of them allows about 40 fishermen at a time. So the 160 odd fishermen get to enjoy 12,500 square miles of pure fishing delight amongst themselves.

Similarly the Great Slave Lake, 300 miles to the south of the Great Bear Lake is almost as big and as remote. But thankfully it has a busy city, close at hand. In Yellowknife you will spot some of the most renowned Canadian fishing lodges and of course a number of secluded northern lakes. It's a boon that Yellowknife is adequately connected to "the outside" (or the southern states) by a well-equipped, modern airport.

The Canadian fishing lodges allow you to take full advantage of the abundant fresh water bodies scattered all over the country. Once you have landed at one of these you can rest assured that your trip will be one hell of an experience. So what are you waiting for? Go book your rooms today!
