Fishing Regulations Summary 2021 – 2022 specialof ruleswaters page with 3 Index Yukon FISHING REGULATIONS SUMMARY 2021 – 2022 Yukon.ca/fishing Minister’s message The start of the fishing season in Yukon coincides with spring weather and an itch among Yukoners to go out on our waters. Every year, Yukon anglers prepare for another fresh catch. Yukon fishing regulations help make sure we keep our freshwater fish stocks sustainable. New regulations have come into place this season to protect our Yukon burbot populations. Some lakes now have reduced catch limits for burbot and I encourage you to become familiar with the new catch limits for this species. We have continued to conduct research on Yukon lake trout and in 2020, released an update on the Lake Trout Monitoring Program. This program provides scientific data on the health and size and an overview of lake trout populations in individual lakes. Find it on Yukon.ca/lake-trout under “Reports.” Finally, when you go fishing this year, follow direction from Yukon’s Chief Medical Officer of Health in the ongoing response to COVID-19: make sure to practise the safe six, even while on the water. Keep up-to-date on rule changes or closures over the course of the season by visiting Yukon.ca/fishing-regulations and always practise respectful angling techniques. I wish you a safe and rewarding experience fishing this season. Mahsi, Pauline Frost, Minister of Environment On the cover: Benson loves fishing.

In memory of Tagish ABSTRACT Recently documented ice patch sites in the southwest Yukon are ideal for evaluating precontact hunter-gatherer land-use patterns in the western subarctic. Located in the alpine of the mountainous regions of the boreal forest, ice patches are associated with well preserved hunting equipment, caribou (Rangifer tarandus) dung and an abundance of faunal remains dating to over 8000 years ago. However, current models are inadequate for explaining caribou hunting at ice patches as they tend to emphasize large-scale communal hunts associated with latitudinal movements of caribou. Much less is known about the alititudinal movment of caribou and the associated hunting forays to ice patches in the alpine.

  • FNESS Strategic Plan
    Strategic Plan 2013-2015 At a Glance FNESS evolved from the Society of Native Indian Fire Fighters of BC (SNIFF), which was established in 1986. SNIFF’s initial objectives were to help reduce the number of fire-related deaths on First Nations reserves, but it changed its emphasis to incorporate a greater spectrum of emergency services. In 1994, SNIFF changed its name to First Nations’ Emergency Services Society of BC to reflect the growing diversity of services it provides. Today our organization continues to gain recognition and trust within First Nations communities and within Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) and other organizations. This is reflected in both the growing demand of service requests from First Nations communities and the development of more government-sponsored programs with FNESS. r e v Ri k e s l A Inset 1 Tagish Lake Teslin 1059 Daylu Dena Atlin Lake 501 Taku River Tlingit r e v Liard Atlin Lake i R River ku 504 Dease River K Fort a e Nelson T r t 594 Ts'kw'aylaxw e c iv h R ik River 686 Bonaparte a se a 687 Skeetchestn e D Fort Nelson R i v e First Nations in 543 Fort Nelson Dease r 685 Ashcroft Lake Dease Lake 592 Xaxli'p British Columbia 593 T'it'q'et 544 Prophet River 591 Cayoose Creek 692 Oregon Jack Creek 682 Tahltan er 683 Iskut a Riv kw r s e M u iv R Finlay F R Scale ra e n iv s i er 610 Kwadacha k e i r t 0 75 150 300 Km S 694 Cook's Ferry Thutade R r Tatlatui Lake i e 609 Tsay Keh Dene v Iskut iv 547 Blueberry River e R Lake r 546 Halfway River 548 Doig River 698 Shackan Location

That lake, made famous around the Yukon Facts world by Robert Service was named for a Quebecer. Hamacher Photos Like many other place names in the Yukon, Lake Laberge had at least several native names. In 1862, explorer Aurel Krause recorded the Tlinget name as Print-Friendly Version Tahini-wud. In 1883, the American explorer Frederick Schwatka , recorded the Tagish name "Kluk-tas-si". But it was William Dall , director of the Scientific corp of the Western Union Telegraph expedition, who gave the lake its present day name. He named Lake Laberge after Michael Laberge of Chateauguay, Quebec. Laberge along with Frank Ketchum of New Brunswick, were explorers for the Western Union who came up river from Fort Yukon to Fort Selkirk in 1867. They were looking for a possible route for the Collins Overland Telegraph line being built from New York to Paris. No-one knows for sure if Michael Laberge ever saw his lake, but it is clear that he had it described to him by native people who lived along the river. The Collins Telegraph line was never built, but the lake went on to Charles Labarge, a relative, served on the Northwestel Board.

  • Chilkoot Trail and Yukon River Canoe
    The Historic Klondike Route Hike the Chilkoot Trail and Canoe the Yukon River on an 18 day trip following in the footsteps of Yukon Gold Rush Stampeders! “The Klondike Gold Rush captured the imagination of the world. Rich and poor, young and old, women and men were attracted to the Klondike from all parts of the globe. No imagine better represents this historic event than the endless line of stampeders struggling over the Chilkoot Pass during the winter of 1897-98. Today the Chilkoot Trail National and Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park commemorate this extraordinary journey. The contract between the scenic grandeur of the coastal mountains and the fragile remains of the stampeders’ goods and temporary structures make the Chilkoot a unique backcountry trail.” A hiker’s guide to the Chilkoot trail Historic Klondike Route Information Join us for 18 days of adventure in the Alaska and the Yukon. We’ll start our trip in historic Skagway, Alaska with a 5-day hike over the Chilkoot Trail, traveling in the footsteps of gold rushers from 100 years ago. Once over the trail we’ll trade hiking boots for paddles and begin the 400 miles of canoeing that will bring us to Dawson City Yukon, and the heart of the Klondike gold country. Along the way we’ll pass derelict steam ships, native villages, gold dredges, current day fish camps, trappers cabins, Fort Selkirk, and other relics from the Gold Rush. We’ll also visit Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon, we’ll run the famous Five Finger Rapids, and pass through Lake Labarge.
