Taking Inspiration from the Yukon Fishing Community

July 29, 2009 at 12:02 am

Firstly I will start by saying that I have a good excuse for not posting in a while.  I was out of the country for a month and am just getting back to Yukon waters.  I hate missing a month of the short Yukon summer, especially with the weather we have been having.  I am definitely planning to make up for lost time as I have fished Lebarge, Squanga, Chadburn already and have a trip to Marsh and Hidden later this week.  This means plenty to write about.  I make no promises I will catch anything but I’ll give it a go.

I am so proud to be connected to Yukon fishing.  This morning I was prepping for a fishing course I am putting on through the City of Whitehorse called “Hook, Line and Sinker”. It is a beginner course with seven students. I had a very small budget from which to purchase some fishing supplies. I went to go see Glen at Sports North to purchase some hooks, lures, bobbers, etc.. and without asking he ended up donating a bunch of stuff to these students. Earlier in the day I went to see Susan at Environment and she provided a bunch of materials, posters and even a frozen fish for a fish filleting demo.  In addition Nansi dropped off the loaner rods on behalf of the Yukon Fish and Game Association.

Everyone stepped up and supported seven people who wanted to learn how to fish in the Yukon.

I love the Yukon fishing community.
