Imagine Pike of epic proportions lurking in the tannin-stained waters of the James Bay Territory. The "Water Wolf" entices sportsmen to deploy every facet of their fishing knowledge and techniques.

Fishermen catch several coveted 50" and 30+ pound monsters every season to help establish this territory as the ultimate Pike fishing destination. Lac Evans is also home to the world record Silver Pike, coming in at 49" and 38.3 pounds.
