Buddy went there for 3 days a few weeks ago..
He didn't see a single fish rise or swim by or anything.. Maybe he wasn't in the right area haha.
Also, not arctic..

I guess if the Saskatchewan rivers are included that will amount to a pretty considerable species list.

You might be right... your buddy may not have been at the right place. We spend a day up there a few weekends ago and the fish were rising from the time we got there until the time we left.

Not so much lakes, but they are found in the Mackenzie River system and the Yukon River system.

In North America, inconnu are found in Alaska, from the Kuskokwim River (Bering Sea drainage) north, throughout the Yukon River in Canada, in the Mackenzie River, in Great Bear and Great Slave Lakes in Canada’s Northwest Territories as far as the Anderson River near Cape Bathurst, and in isolated areas of extreme northern British Columbia.

I worked in the Helmut and Fort Liard area for a bit and managed to get out fishing a few times. Talking with locals never once heard mention of Inconnu or large whitefish being caught, although heard reports of extremely large bull trout and dolly varden being caught.
If they're found in the Mackenzie system are they found in Lake Athabasca?
only asking cuz they're on my bucket list and would rather knock them off my list without having to travel extreme distance.

You can catch them in the Hay River, but I do not believe they make it up the Slave river, not into Athabasca anyhow.
