2016 A NUNAVUT NOMAD FOR ARCTIC CHAR wrote: Six hours after dropping the big photo fish and probably forty or fifty char later, I hooked into a real quality male. Another spirited battle to bring the fish in, taking no chances during the fight I pulled a tailing glove on with my teeth. Just absolutely stunned and overjoyed to finally land and photograph a true char in one most vibrant display of color. Unlike the previous two which I had come so close to capturing with the lens, this chars orange melted into a lava-like, glowing red belly. A super char really, with such a beautiful face and masculine jaw. Finally, the fish I had been dreaming of most came to reality.
.
It didnt stop there. After the release a second thicker char followed about an hour later. Another hard fighting male nearly pulled me off a stone perch and into the drink. Ripping to and fro through the currents below, an orange back thrashed across the surface. Not quite the same missile speed of the previous big fish, this one dogged a little more and really tried to work with the shallow boulders below. The fish would eventually have me go to it, wading in deeper to lessen the chance of it rock rubbing and snapping its way free. Once in hand I could have wept. The moment, the day, the feelings, the work, the reward, the place, this amazing place, these dozens of char and the two incredible rewards, all combined it is indescribable. This Nunavut Nomad had reached the peak.
This video took me back there, especially when you started welling up at 40 mins in. Because yes, for serious anglers and adventurers catching char is like summiting Everest.

Another on point phenomenal video from Jay. Keep up the grate work. Can't wait for some jay verses clay verses Arron ice fishing this winter. Wish I was in your place. I need to make more time to get out on the water and share great memories with my family and especially my son. Thanks again Jay for such a great video.

Amazing video, that is on my bucket list for sure, I also want to paddle and fish the valley of headless men in NWT. Supposed to be epic, the river valley was created before the rocky mountians, and was one of the only rivers not stopped by them. There is a lot of mystery there.

I was shocked at how urban and modern Yellowknife appeared to be. I know very little about that part of Canada. I was expecting more of a settlement/small village vibe.
