"Once it was gold that drew men to the Northwest Territories but now a new lure reaches out to men with a taste for adventure: trout 30 to 40 pounds, Arctic char, norther pike and grayling just as big. This film gives an glimpse of fishing in the land of the midnight sun. A party of fishermen fly to Edmonton and north again to some of the best fishing waters on the continent - Great Slave Lake, Great Bear Lake, Cambridge Bay - all just plane hops apart."

"Le film suit dans leurs déplacements un groupe de pêcheurs qui se rendent à  Edmonton en avion puis continuent vers les Territoires du Nord-Ouest où les eaux comptent parmi les plus poissonneuses du continent. Truites, ombles arctiques, brochets du Nord, ombles boréals abondent. Des pêches miraculeuses !"
