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.

    Recommendations

    Tactics

    Look for drop-offs and gaps in the weeds, retrieve slowly, lingering over promising spots.

    Lures

    The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: spoon or large fly.

    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.

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

    Solunar feeding periods

    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.
