Fly fishing Jackson Lake Yukon

Last year I donated a fishing lesson to a breast cancer fundraiser. I got the call from Andrea whom you may know from Sportees. She wanted to take her two boys out fly-fishing.

We arrived at Jackson Lake just as it was starting to cool and get a little buggy.  From the moment we got there we could see little fish sipping bugs on the surface all over the lake.

After a quick lesson, Andrea, Nathan and Matt were all casting into the strike zone where little grayling were sure to lurk. We tried a few different presentations including chironomids with strike indicators, some bead-head nymphs and even a mosquito dry fly.  We got most of the action on the mosquitos.  They were little but a great fish when you are learning to fly fish.
