OUTDOORSMAN.COM OUTFITTER OF THE MONTH - SEPTEMBER 2008

Arctic Adventures is an Inuit-owned outfitting organization with more than three decades of experience hosting hunters and anglers in Nunavik, Quebec's arctic region. Over the years, Arctic Adventures has built an enviable reputation for consistently providing our guests with quality caribou hunting and fishing vacations and personalized professional service.

Arctic Adventures operates three Arctic Char fishing camps in Nunavik, Quebec’s Arctic region. The Payne River and Tunulik River Fishing Camps are strategically located near very productive waters where sleek, silvery Arctic Char feed on shrimp, krill and capelin during the brief arctic summer. The Tunulik II Fishing Camp is located on the Lagrčve River where Arctic Char and Sea Run Brook Trout migrate in mid-August. The river also holds two to six pound Native Brook Trout which are protected by our camp’s own “live release” conservation policy.

You will live among the Inuit in the land where nomadic caribou stop to look you over curiously; where Canada Geese go to raise their young. On the waters of Ungava Bay, you will often see seals and possibly site a white Beluga Whale while fishing for Arctic Char. Those who have fished with Arctic Adventures return home with many exciting stories about the strong Arctic Char they caught. They also come home with lasting memories of their Inuit hosts, the Arctic scenery and the wildlife they encountered during their visit with us.

With more than three decades of experience behind us, Arctic Adventures’ looks after every detail to ensure you have a safe and worry free adventure in the land of the Inuit. From the moment you book your hunting or fishing trip, you will be served by our friendly dedicated, professional staff who are committed to your satisfaction. Whether you wish to travel alone or with a group of companions, Arctic Adventures welcomes your call!

All this in a comfortable lodge and country cottages, animated by a hunting tradition and breathtaking scenery.

Struggle with opponents of size in the middle of an almost virgin territory in the Northern Quebec taďga. The famous George River, splendid and endless, wild and impetuous, has countless rapids where the Master of water, the Atlantic salmon, goes up currents and streams in an impressive number, year after year.

The guides will help you to choose the fly of the moment, to throw it where the fish is held, to control the effect of your bait, to seize the blows and especially, to control your energy and your rod to fight with the tenacious combatant who will try to tire you before him.

In addition to salmon fishing, you can also fish in these cold waters for arctic char, lake trout and speckled trout, other popular species that abound and reach unparalleled sizes in the vast north. An adventure to get your fishing dreams true, in an amazing country which worth the trip only by its striking tundra flora, sandy bays, caribous by thousands and multicoloured aurora borealis.
