In short. The Yukon's rivers and lakes hold Arctic grayling, lake trout and northern pike, and most campgrounds sit on the Alaska, Klondike and Campbell highways. We map it by fishing area and show the RV campgrounds near each one.
Rules change. Seasons, closures and limits change often and can change mid-season. We link to the official pages rather than repeat them, so check them before every trip.
Licences and rules
- Fresh water: managed by the Government of Yukon. Start at How and where to catch Yukon fish and the fishing regulations summary.
- Licences: you need a Yukon fishing licence. The government page above links to it. Set lines for burbot need a separate free sport fishing licence.
- National parks: waters inside Kluane and Ivvavik fall under Parks Canada rules, so check them separately.
- Moving boats and gear: clean, drain and dry your boat and gear between waters.
