TUNULIK II CAMP Latitude 58° 28’ North, Longitude 66° 34’ West
Dear Arctic Adventures enthusiasts,
We are happy to announce that our Tunulik II camp will be open for the 2022 fishing season! Get your bags packed and gear ready – the fish have had plenty of rest and we can’t wait to see you again!
The Payne River camp remains closed for this 2022 season, but we are hard at work making some changes and hope to host you there again in 2023!
We have already communicated with our pre-booked 2022 clients but, should you have any questions or concerns, please call or email us.
We thank you for your confidence and we are really looking forward to fishing with you again!
The Arctic Adventures team
"One of the “World’s Five Best Brookie Waters"
-Fly Fisherman Magazine
The Tunulik II Fishing Camp is located on an exposed granite bluff overlooking the Lagrevé River, 1 ½ miles inland from Ungava Bay. The river offers 2 miles of pools to discover below camp and seven miles of great fishing waters above camp for the exclusive use of our angling guests!
The camp is accessed by a Twin-Otter on wheels which lands on a natural air strip behind camp. This camp only operates for a short period during the peak of the migration from mid August to mid September.
Tunulik II fly fishing is one of the best fishing experiences in North America. The Tunulik II Fishing Camp offers anglers a five night/ five day Sea-run, Native Brook Trout and, late in the season, Arctic Char fishing trip which features fantastic river fishing. Anglers who enjoy wading and catching fish on a fly will enjoy the non-stop action. Six anglers have ten miles of river for their exclusive use. Trophy sized Native Brookies are plentiful due to our “Live-Release” camp policy.

Your Hosts
The Tunulik II Fishing Camp is staffed by the Buckle family. Carole Buckle, our camp cook, has been preparing fabulous meals for Arctic Adventures’ angling guests for the past 22 years. Carole’s husband, Calvin Buckle, is camp manager and a truly professional guide who along with inuit guides work hard to please our guests. They have been guiding anglers on Ungava Bay and on the Lagrevé River for many years. They enjoy working on the river and sharing their knowledge of Inuit customs and traditions. Each season we receive many favorable guest comments about the friendly hospitality and dedication of our Tunulik II Fishing Camp staff.
Your Lodgings
Although the Tunulik II Fishing Camp operates only four weeks each year, this camp’s facilities include three solid oil heated sleeping cabins accommodating two guests each, a separate kitchen/dining cabin, shower facilities, generated electricity, freezers and satellite telephone communications.
The Fishing
The river is small, by Arctic standards, seldom more than one hundred feet wide and usually from two to five feet deep. The steady current in normal water conditions allows anglers with chest waders access to most of the rivers fishable waters. Sea run Brookies and Native Brookies weighing up to seven pounds and Arctic char later in the season migrate through these waters each year. One guide equipped with a 22 foot freighter canoe and 20 H.P. Mercury jet outboard motor accompanies three anglers on the river each day. Fly fishermen find sinking lines very effective when fishing with streamers such as the Magog Smelt, Grey Ghost or Michey Finn. Dry fly fishing when hatches occur is fast and furious.
As we are interested in preserving this fishery for years to come, we ask our guests to practice proper “live release” techniques to increase the chances of survival of each fish they release.
