Aylmer Lake - Canada's wolf territory
Where it is
Aylmer Lake is a large body of water - more than 60km both east to west and north to south,
area some 900 sq km, in shape something like a horseman.
At around 300m elevation, it is well above the treeline of the Canadian tundra.
There are no towns hereabouts - the territory capital of 18,000 souls, Yellowknife, is more than 300km to the south west -
and its remoteness is an attraction to many.

Aylmer Lake lodge
The lodge is sited at the eastern edge of the lake.
Its owners also run an outpost camp at the western edge.
They provide "world class lake trout and arctic grayling fishing", and run inclusive trips including air transport from Yellowknife,
not just for anglers but for those with a broader interest in wildlife too.
