Great Slave Lake is the deepest lake in North America at about 614 metres, and its enormous surface freezes thick enough in winter to carry ice roads. Fishing through the ice from a heated hut is a long-standing northern routine as much as a tourist activity.
Burbot (Lota lota) is the only freshwater member of the cod order, Gadiformes, and it spawns under the ice in the coldest part of the year, which is why winter and night suit it. It is a bottom-dwelling, nocturnal feeder, so a quiet evening on the lake plays to its habits.
Yellowknife sits well placed under the auroral oval, and moving out onto the lake means open sky and almost no city light. Aurora activity depends on solar conditions and clear weather, so your guide watches the sky rather than promising a show.
