Great Bear Lake Trout
Great Bear Lake: On the edge of the tree line and hundreds of miles from civilization, Great Bear is the fourth-largest lake in North America and is fished by only 300 lucky anglers each year. Great Bear boasts the All-Tackle World Records for both trout and grayling, as well as dozens of line-class records.
• Plummer's two turbine Otters are stationed at Great Bear's 5,600 ft. airstrip, making it their only lodge that offers daily fly-outs (an added fee).
Great Bear Species: Trophy lake trout, Arctic grayling, and northern pike fishing.
Plummer's official IGFA Lake Trout record for Great Bear Lake is 72 pounds. An unofficial world record of 78.85 pounds is pending.
Fishing Facts for Plummer's Four Main Lodges

Guides: Plummer’s employs about 50 guides, ranging from rookies to 30 years of experience. All guides have current First Aid and Pleasure Craft Operator Cards.
Methods: Single barbless hooks only; all fishing is catch-and-release except for fish retained for the shore lunch. Be ready for action on lightweight rods for grayling. Cast sinking tips with your 8-weight into gin-clear bays for 10- to 20-pound lake trout. Rip just about anything across the surface of the water for some vicious Northern pike.
