Jayhad Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Has anyone fished Iqaluit? I just got word that I'm heading there today and wondering if there's fishing.... I see a river runs right thru the town. Hoping to find some piggy char Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leachman Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 fyi no beer stores there. byob if you want to have a drink anywhere other than a bar. go check out the old hudsons bay buildings outside of town, pretty cool. might want to bring a headlamp for fishing. definitley an interesting place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slanter Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Those falls are very close to town... Maybe a 20 min walk on a very good trail. I have no idea how/when/where to fish those falls, but there are lots of signs on the trail explaining how good the fishing is there (or at least has been in the past). I vote you give it a try and let us know what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
