North America is the northern subcontinent of the America’s, covering an area of 24,709,000 square kilometres; it’s the third-largest continent by area, following Asia and Africa. Its landscape is vast and varied, and it’s home to some of natures most stunning scenery, from the Rocky Mountains to Niagra Falls to the network of Great Lakes and rivers, like the St. Lawrence. Canada alone has over 2,000,000 lakes, of which 563 are more extensive than 100 square kilometres and a coastline of 243,042 kilometres, the longest in the world. With all the water in North America, it’s no surprise that the continent offers a whole host of exciting fishing opportunities.
Alaska, Canada and Greenland offer the adventurous, travelling angler the chance to fish for a wide variety of different species; however, when you think of the great fishing lodges of North America, you think about two species, Salmon and Sturgeon.
Undoubtedly, Alaska offers some of the very best freshwater fly fishing globally, especially for the Atlantic Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Chum Salmon, Coho Salmon, Sockeye Salmon and Steelhead. Famous lodges such as Bristol Bay Lodge, No See Um Lodge and the Goodnews River Lodge offer some fantastic sport, both in the size and numbers of Salmon caught. Whilst also famous for fly fishing on rivers like the Skeena, Canada is more renowned for its monster Sturgeon. In the Fraser River, these giant dinosaurs grow to monstrous proportions, and fish weighing over 1000lb aren’t uncommon.
With Canada’s vast coastline, it’s no surprise there’s some excellent saltwater fishing to be enjoyed, and the fishery off the coast of Novia Scotia’s offers some explosive sport with giant Bluefin Tuna.
