Recreational Fishing Regulations in Thaidene Nëné Indigenous Protected Area

3/23/2021

 
Portions of the Thaidene Nëné Indigenous Protected Area have been designated a national park reserve (NPR), a territorial protected area (TPA), and a wildlife conservation area (WCA) through agreements with Parks Canada and the GNWT. While visitors are expected to respect the land regardless of which part of the Thaidene Nëné Indigenous Protected Area they are in (see the Visitor Code of Conduct), there are some variations in expectations for the different parts of Thaidene Nëné Indigenous Protected Area.

​For example, a valid Parks Canada fishing permit is required for recreational fishing in the waters of Thaidene Nene National Park Reserve (dark green on the map), which include Wildbread Bay, Charlton Bay and portions of Christie and McLeod Bays in Tu Nedhé (Great Slave Lake). A NWT fishing licence is required in Thaidene Nene Territorial Protected Area (light green on the map) and the Thaidene Nene Wilderness Conservation Area (purple on the map). Fishing permits and fishing licences are not required for traditional harvesting by Indigenous peoples for food, social, and ceremonial purposes. 

​Parks Canada fishing permits are different from those issued by the Government of the Northwest Territories. Fishing permit fees are being waived until March 31, 2022. Even though permits are free this year, they are still required in the waters of the National Park Reserve. Parks Canada fishing permits are available online using the Parks Canada website or in-person for guests at Frontier Lodge or Trophy Fishing Lodge. 
​NWT fishing licences are available online, in local Environment and Natural Resource Offices, and at Canadian Tire and Reddi-Mart in Yellowknife. More information about NWT Sport Fishing Regulations is available here.

We are the Lutsel K’e Dene First Nation. Our vision for Thaidene Nëné is:
Nuwe néné, nuwe ch'anıé yunedhé xa (Our land, our culture for the future). 


We’re working with our partners to permanently protect Thaidene Nëné—part of our
huge and bountiful homeland around and beyond the East Arm of Tu Nedhé.
