Canoe Trip
Winter in Deline is cold and often clear, beginning in October and lasting to May. Temperatures dip to -50°C from December to February. Yet April begins a time of very pleasant weather, and in summer the temperatures can be a warm 25 to 30°C. In May and June, we fortify ourselves against black flies and mosquitoes. Deline has long been appreciated by fishing enthusiasts with a taste for the true experience of the Canadian north. Great Bear Lake is host to world record Lake Trout, including a "monster" caught in the summer of 2001 that tipped the scales at 74 pounds.

Food from the Land Animal Tracks  
The Sahtu Dene have a deep understanding of the land, the water and the animals. With this understanding comes a tremendous respect for the food that nature provides. It is said the spirit of the caribou oversees people who are preparing meat. The spirit watches to see they do things properly that they dry his meat on clean poles, for example. Caribou makes himself available for those who treat the meat with respect.
