Chances are, that if you have taken one of the side trips for Arctic Char offered by many of the lodges that have, and at least in one instance, continue to operate on Great Bear Lake, you would have been flown to the Tree, Coppermine or Kugaryuak Rivers.

After many years of planning, the stars and planets were finally in their proper alignment, and I made my first trip to the legendary Kogluktualuk, or Tree River in Nunavut, to fish for what are arguably the worlds biggest Arctic Char.
