GREAT SLAVE LAKE, N.W.T.—It was Shawn Buckley’s two-sentence email that helped me finally understand our time together on his fishing boat. It was June in Yellowknife and I couldn’t wait to get out on North America’s deepest lake (Great Slave Lake is 614 metres deep). I joined two road trippers from Lac La Biche, Alta., — Romeo and Louise Gauthier — for an afternoon with Great Slave Lake Tours. We figured we would see how commercial fishing works, catch our limit of whitefish sport fishing and celebrate with a shore lunch. Trips may include wildlife viewing, commercial fishing demonstrations, ice fishing, fish fries and bannock with wild-picked tea.
