Hey Keg... Did your Dad ever mention catching inconnu further north in rivers? Maybe he didn't go much further north.
Funny no anglers talk about inconnu much. Everybody goes to the coast for salmon but you never hear of anyone going north for inconnu. They grow to 1.5 meters long and can weigh 60-70 lbs. They are a type of whitefish and are supposedly excellent tablefare and can be prepared just the same as salmon.
They are in the Mackenzie river system and Great Slave lake and Great Bear lake further north.They range into a small area of the northern part of BC too.
Also called 'coney' or 'sruh.'
