WORLD-CLASS FISHING IN THE LAND OF INUIT The sport fishing opportunities are plentiful in this region bounded by the great water of Hudson Bay to the West and Ungava Bay to the East , and sprinkled by numerous majestic rivers and countless lakes , all teeming with combative big fish such as the unique Arctic char or renowned Atlantic salmon , not to mention an abundance of brook trout and sea-run trout , and enormous lake trout .
With high number and weight quotas for the various fish species , for which catch-and-release is permitted , you will be able to fish to your heart ’ s content . And with record trophies weighing from 30 to 45 lbs , any angler willing to make the trip North to cast in Nunavik ’ s pure and clear waters will be living the dream !
