[edit] Map

The map sucks. It doesn't show the lake in relation to the rest of Canada; it just outlines the shape, and some people (most probably) can't gauge where it is due to the cities on its coast. Someone please use a better map.Andrew 04:44, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] World Record Lake trout

It would be a pity to fail to mention Great Bear Lake is the site of the world record Lake trout[1]. --Lethargy 01:40, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Edit: It appears that is the world record taken by angling. The largest ever taken was by gillnet in Lake Athabasca (source), but we should still mention it. --Lethargy 01:46, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fish

One of the links said fish take forty years to grow so the big sizes; do they still eat them? Can you eat a fish that old?

[edit] Largest Lake

Great Bear Lake is not the largest lake in Canada by either area or volume. Is there a reason why this claim should not be removed?

I assume that you are talking about Lake Superior which is partly in Canada and partly in the US. So this becomes the largest lake that is entirely inside Canada. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 08:23, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
