I spent a year Baised in Cambridge bay and several years in Yellowknife, great place the NWT, very fond memoarys from my time up north,
Lakers, pickerel, jacks and artic char, greyling, whitefish, graced the table along with a few other spieces, artic Char and lakers mostly, one you get up around the artic coast, at least thats my experience from Coppermine, cambridge to Pelly bay.
Dont know were your going, but for sure bug spray and jacket, take bear defence items, I wold take spray and my 9.3x62.
I use a 6.6-7 foot spinning rod, 12-14lbs and spoons, pixies, williams, len thompson etc, few plugs rapala's etc and spinners, take a few jigs and tails for pickerel,
fish in the north are agressive, and only have a short period of time to fatten up before winter,
Not many salmon, think a small run of chum in the Mackenzie river.
I second, the bit latter in the season, once its started too cool off, a bit.
Small vertex for greayling, if taking fly rod, small nymphs and drys for greyling, and large streamers for trout and char. 6-8 weight, with floating and sink tip.
Have fun, its an amazing place.
