Canada Fishing Info

Our little float plane - call name Golf, Bravo, Delta Whiskey - skips across the Arctic Ocean and launches enthusiastically into the sky. To reach Elu Lodge you have to pass through Cambridge Bay - Cam Bay - and I stayed there several days.

I spend an entire afternoon picking tundra blueberries outside my cabin watching hyper-active Arctic ground squirrels - “sik siks” - bouncing across the tundra.
