Fiske

Fiskekort
Fiskekort i Canada får man tilgang til via departementene/delstatene sine nettsider. (Gjelder også jaktlisens). Unntaket er Nunavut, som har eget selvstyre og gjør ting på sin egen måte - dvs. det er ikke tilrettelagt for å kjøpe fiskekort online. Ifølge AHMIC AIR i Yellowknife er det igjen ulikt innenfor de ulike lokale myndighetene i Nunavut. Ergo; skal man ha fiskekort i Nunavut er løsningen å ringe og håpe på at man finner en hjelpsom person, som kan henvise til hvor man kan kjøpe eller om man kan få til en annen løsning.

Vi opplevde akkurat dette da vi krysset Ungavahalvøya, vi hadde ringt og sendt eposter til "fylkeshovedsetet" (Kuujuaqq) uten å få svar. Vi lagret all kommunikasjon på smarttelefon og ville bruke disse ved et møte med fiskeoppsynet.

From Quote Ahmic Air:
You may register for and purchase a NT fishing licence online through the government of Northwest

Territories website https://www.gov.nt.ca/ecc/en/services/get‐fishing‐licence/buying‐fishing‐licence‐

online. or when you are in Yellowknife you can visit the local Department of Environment and Climate

Change (ECC) government office Monday‐Friday to register in person. Their office is a short walk from

our Floatbase. If you have time I recommend getting the licence in person at the ECC office as although

limited there are some wildlife displays and you will be able to obtain the most recent information on fire

bans, etc.. In April 2023 the ECC was formed from two former government departments; Lands and

Environment and Natural Resources (ENR); you may find a lot of information still references the “ENR”.

A Thelon River trip takes you within the borders of Nunavut as well and if you intend to fish while in

Territory of Nunavut (NU) you will require a NU fishing licence. At this time there is not an online method

of obtaining a NU Fishing Licence.

These licences are a little harder to come by and the method seems to change depending on staffing

within the various NU government departments and government regions. The Nunavut Government site

states that licences are available from the Department of Environment or Fisheries and Oceans Canada,

most sport fishing lodges, sporting goods, hardware and convenience stores, as well as certain offices of

the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The difficulty if the forementioned will be places you could visit in

person at the end of your trip as you will be entering the territory from a remote location.

We suggest that you attempt to contact a Conservation Office as a starting place depending on the river

system you are traveling down you can try Baker Lake – 867‐793‐2944, Kugluktuk ‐ 867‐982‐7450, Gjoa

Haven – 867‐360‐7605, and/or Chesterfield Inlet – 867‐898‐9130. Depending on the conservation office

you choose to contact it may not be fully staffed and/or officers could be in the field so it could take

several attempts to call but they should be able to take payment mail, scan, or fax a copy of your NU

fishing licence to you. It may take bit of effort to get through, don’t leave this as a last moment thing. A

copy of the NU Sport Fishing Regs can be found at this site: https://www.gov.nu.ca/en/environment‐and‐
