What You Need To Know About Fishing In The Yukon
Fishing in the Yukon Territories is a year round activity. However the conditions of fishing change drastically from season to season. In the Yukon there is a summer fishing season and there is an ice fishing season. Both provide an opportunity to catch lake trout, arctic grayling, northern pike, whitefish, burbot and kokanee salmon.
Every community in the Yukon Territories is a fishing destination. Each community enjoys its own unique selection of lakes and rivers. Some lakes and rivers are easily accessed from boat ramps with marinas and piers. Other fishing spots may require hiking a trail portaging a canoe or being flown in by a floatplane.
Fishing Seasons In The Yukon
During the summer months fly fishing, shore fishing and trolling are all enjoyed on the lakes and rivers of the Yukon Territories. During the winter months, after the lakes and rivers freeze, huts are erected on the frozen surfaces and ice fishing season begins.
