Angler’s Guide to Stocked Lakes in the Yukon

May 05, 2006 at 9:18 pm

I had to drop off a friend at the Department of Environment on Burn’s Road today and I thought I would stop in and pick up the new fishing regs for 2006-2007. I forgot how much public information is out there for fishing in the Yukon. Most impressive is the “Angler’s Guide to Stocked Lakes in the Yukon”. I know I have picked up a copy of this before, but it seems to be updated and a bit more polished than what I had in the past.

The guide has description of 23 stocked lakes in the Yukon, with driving instructions, maps, depth charts and a history of what fish are in there and when it was stocked last. If you are new to the Yukon, or are looking for accessible opportunities just off the highways this is a must have!

In addition to that resource, there were of course the regs, a one-page hand-out on the “Best Times to Fish”, a four-page hand-out on “Fishing in the Yukon Locations and Species Found” (with over 75 different locations!!), a three-page hand-out on “Yukon Northern Pike Fishing Opportunities”, and a detailed 7-page hand-out on “Fish Species of the Yukon Territory” including a two page description w/diagrams on how to fillet a Pike.

I should not forget the attractive fold-out 2006-2007 “A Guide to Yukon Government Campgrounds”.  This one is also downloadable from http://www.environmentyukon.gov.yk.ca/parks/campgrounds.html.

Now there is no excuse, get on out there and fish!  Remember to tell me about it and I’ll post your report!
