Your Itinerary

Day 2, 3, 4, 5: Floatplane fly-out and arctic char fishing. Early in the morning we fly out to the East coast of Ungava where we will set up the camp on one of our rivers. Our experienced fly fishing guide will show you how to catch arctic char. The East Ungava rivers are famous for their big migratory arctic chars which average 10 lbs. For lunch, take a moment to braise some of your catch over a wood-burning fire and watch the fish jumping up the falls. At the end of the day, you will camp out by the river. Overnight stay in a bivouac.
Day 6: Fish different parts of the river. Fish for arctic char in the middle part of the river and discover secluded pools where the largest migratory chars are hiding. Overnight stay at the lodge.
