Northwest Territories — a place for both saltwater and freshwater fishing. The region has 9 cities, 260 rivers, 913 water bodies and 219 sea areas. Sea fishing is covered too: coastal waters get their own bite forecast. Species found here: burbot, pike, grayling, whitefish, nelma and lake trout. Here you'll find a bite prediction — when fish are active and which hours give the best chances, adjusted for weather and pressure.

    The day is 7 min shorter than yesterday.

    Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.

    Solunar feeding periods

    Major periodsMinor periods

    • Major21:05–23:05Moon underfoot

    The windows are set by the moon's transit and rise, and the forecast above already accounts for them: within these hours the bite score sits higher than across the rest of the day, while the day's overall level still comes from the catch-calibrated model.

    Recommendations

    Tactics

    Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.

    Lures

    The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: spoon or large fly. The water's cold — work the lure slower than usual.

    Gear

    Bring a warm jacket — it's noticeably colder on the water than on shore. Rain is expected — don't forget a rain jacket or a waterproof shell.
