    • Fishing lodges in the Northwest Territoriesfishing 1 image by Sorin Alb from Fotolia.com

      The Northwest Territories in northern Canada offer some of the most secluded fishing areas in the world. Almost all of the fishing lodges in the Northwest Territories are fly-in only, and the cost of the flight is usually included in the lodges' pricing. Species of fish abundant in the Northwest Territories are lake trout, walleye, arctic grayling and northern pike, among others.

    Nonacho Lake Fishing Camp

    • Nonacho Lake Fishing Camp prides itself on its seclusion. The camp is 160 miles east of Yellowknife, has no telephones or televisions and there are no other people living within 100 miles.
