Canada is a very popular tourist country with a great environment, wonderful people and certainly there are room for everyone. Beautiful landscapes and peaceful surroundings! If you decide to have your vacation in Canada, you have made an excellent decision.

Lets start with fishing. If you are looking for a place to stay while freshwater fishing in Canada, you have many options and anglers from all over the world look forward to freshwater fishing in Canada each year. All from the eastern shores of the Maritime Provinces to the vast wooded tract of coastline on the west shores of British Columbia, you will find fishing that is so abundant and unspoiled, that anglers from around the globe visit each year. Then they subsequently return year after year.

Many are looking for a weekend retreat thats accessible with your family car, or perhaps the “trip of a lifetime”, a visit to a remote northern lake accessible only by float plane, this province offers it all.

With the Canada mountain biking in British Columbia, the scenery of is splendid. There are actually places in the province where it is possible to do mountain biking 10 months of the year. In virtually every part of the province you will find bubbly local enthusiasm for Canada mountain biking, a willingness to share knowledge, and a host of premier trails to put to the test.

With the Rocky Mountaineer Vacations you have a provider of unique Canadian train trips and vacation packages across Canada. You can travel by train through the Canadian Rockies on board the award-winning Rocky Mountaineer train and discover Canada from coast to coast. You can also choose shorter trips for two days, for example from Vancouver over the Rocky Mountains to Calgary, Banff and Jasper. To cross the whole country you will have to spend ten days on board. It is indeed a big country.

A vacation in Canada could also include one of the big cities, for example Montreal. With its unique mix of old world charm, French joie de vivre and modern style, Montreal radiates a sophisticated glamour that is rare in North America. Famous for its innovative fashion, extensive arts community and delectable bistros, the city has plenty to offer any visitor. Why not spend an afternoon exploring the chic boutiques and sampling the famed cuisine, or retreat to the fine museums and the stunning Notre Dame Basilica. The history of the city is rooted in Old Montreal and the Old Port, where you can stroll the cobblestone streets and walk along the banks of the mighty St. Lawrence River.

In Alberta you have a wonderful attraction in Lake Louise, for many it is the sparkling turquoise lake itself. It is a beautiful, milky blue lake that rests at the foot of the Victoria Glacier, which rises majestically behind, capped by snow and ice all year around. The lake has become one of Canadas best-loved sights and the most photographed scene in the Canadian Rockies.

If you go by the Rocky Mountaineer train, guests with an overnight stay in Lake Louise stay at ‘The Diamond in the Wilderness’ The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, located right on the shores of this legendary lake with breathtaking views.
Actually the entire area offers a host of leisure opportunities, including skiing, hiking, fishing, biking and simply relaxing. Also Moraine Lake, a short distance away, is perfect for a day trip. Most of the Rockies area affords incredible opportunity for sightseeing and photography.

Have you ever watched one of those televised shows that show the fabulous fishing available in Canada, (or also known as the “Great White North) & wondered, can that really be true? Can the fish actually be so huge? Can the scenery be so spectacular?

It IS true!

From the eastern shores of the Maritime Provinces to the vast wooded tract of coastline on the west shores of British Columbia, Canada offers fishing that is so abundant & unspoiled, that anglers from around the globe visit each year, then subsequently return year after year.

All Provinces offer fishing that is unique to them, yet all are connected by a common theme, & that’s the huge expanses of almost undiscovered lakes & rivers in the northern regions.

Look at the Province of Ontario, 95% of its population reside in the lower regions that account for maybe 10% of its land mass. What’s in the other 90%?

Huge, crystal clear, lakes & rivers. Thousands of them! And all full of fish.

Whether one is looking for a weekend retreat that’s accessible with your family car, or the “trip of a lifetime”, a visit to a remote northern lake accessible only by float plane, this province offers it all.

Compare that to the even larger expanse of the Nunavut. Here’s a Territory that sits almost entirely north of the 60th parallel, & has almost all it’s regions inaccessible by roads. There simply are none!

But the fishing! Home to more I.G.F.A records than any other fresh water region in the WORLD!

Did you know the N.W.T is home to the 5th largest body of fresh water on the globe?

Great Bear Lake is 500 miles north of Yellowknife & the closest permanent road is some 300 miles away? Almost 12,500 square miles of crystal clear water, that’s under ice for all but, maybe 100 days a year. Water so cold, that fish grow so slowly they can be 60-80 years old.

Then consider this.

There is only one community on this lake. Maybe 500 people, tops! Four Fishing Lodges, over 280 miles of lake between one & the next closest! Ice free for just a couple of months, these fishing lodges can operate only 2 short months a year. Total capacity between them all is maybe 160 fishermen at a time, scattered over 12,500 square miles!

Also, consider Great Slave Lake. Situated some 300 miles south of Great Bear Lake, Great Slave Lake is almost as large an expanse of water, almost as isolated, but has the convenience of a bustling frontier type city, situated right on its shores.

Yellowknife, the territory capital is also the “hub” for many of the remote northern lakes & fishing lodges, as it’s serviced by a modern airport, with frequent & daily scheduled flights connecting it with more southern cities, or as the northerners call it, “the outside”

With stats like these, do you think these fishing lodges can offer a unique fishing experience?

You bet, there is no other place quite like it.

Why not treat yourself, & plan on a wonderful “trip of a lifetime”.
