The operation runs all-inclusive guided trips during the brief summer season (June–September), when lake trout and arctic grayling are most active in the region's cold, clear waters.

The fishing season at Canadian Wildlife Adventures is dictated by the short, intense summers of the Northwest Territories, typically running from June through September. During this period, the pristine lakes and rivers offer prime opportunities for anglers targeting two of the region's most prized species. Early in the season, the focus is on the aggressive pursuit of large lake trout, which remain accessible in shallower waters even in mid-summer due to the icy temperatures. As the season progresses, the feisty arctic grayling become increasingly active, providing dynamic action on the fly. The lodge operates within this window, offering a remote, fly-in experience where the pristine, untouched waters promise exceptional catches, with a strong emphasis on catch-and-release to preserve the fishery for future generations.
