Fly Fishing for Lake Trout

Posted on by

The Lake trout is one of the most challenging fish in the North to catch on a fly!

The best time to fish these beauties is mid to late September. During that time, the trout are up in much shallower water as part of their spawning cycle. They can be caught consistently in 20-30 feet of water, from shore or in pontoon boats. Landing Lakes in a pontoon boat is an unforgettable thrill!

Fast-sinking lines are just the ticket, along with some of our custom flies. See our main fishing page for more information.

A Boat-Supported Canoe Adventure

Aussies on the Teslin & Yukon Rivers!

Back in August, a hardy group of adventurers joined us for the canoe trip of a lifetime. Our route was from Johnson’s Crossing on the Alaska Highway, down the Teslin River to the gold rush ghost town of Hootalinqua, then down the Yukon River to Carmacks.

There were 9 paddlers from eastern Australia and 9 from western Australia. Our 2 support boats followed with food and gear. This was the perfect 6-day adventure, with great food, scenery and wildlife – and not a drop of rain to dampen an amazing wilderness experience with these fine men!
