Lac Du Rocher Camp is located approximately 250 km northeast of Yellowknife, close to the transition from treeline to the central barren land habitat of the Northwest Territories.
The camp is situated at the north end of the lake, bordering a quiet bay and esker system that produces hours of hiking and wildlife-viewing potential when you need a break from the constant battles with the lake's big trout and energetic Arctic grayling. When the sun does set, the view is spectacular.
Camp & Facilities
This "do-it-yourself" fishing camp consists of five tent-frames that accommodate fishing parties from 6 to 10. Three tents provide bunk-style sleeping accommodations, while the other two tents include the dining/cooking tent and a staff tent (or additional bunk space for larger parties). Cooking facilities include a propane stove and oven, fridge and freezer space. Each tent contains stove heaters for the cooler fishing seasons and lighting powered by a gas generator.
Boating equipment provided at Lac du Rocher includes three 16' aluminum boats outfitted with 15 and 20 hp motors. There are also two 17' fiberglass canoes for fishermen who want to explore those nearby lakes that are virtually un-fished.
Fishing
Fishing at Lac Du Rocher is limitless, with miles of lake and island shorelines to explore for big trout and northern pike. There are also countless inflowing streams, lake narrows and outflowing rivers that provide superb arctic grayling habitat for the spin-cast enthusiast and avid fly fisherman. Bring a variety of fishing tackle so you can be as flexible as the fish you can catch.
