Our Yukon Trips

Whitehorse’s waters attract anglers for northern pike, lake trout, arctic grayling, and more. Quality gear like Shimano rods, Garmin sonar, and Alumarine boats enhance every trip, but you don’t need your own.

Summer fishing

Guided boat fishing: cast for pike, jig for lake trout, or troll. Prefer to walk? Wade trips target grayling and rainbow trout. Half and full-day options include a shore lunch.

Ice fishing

Ice fishing near Whitehorse for lake trout, burbot, and char. Enjoy heated shelters, hot drinks, and shore lunch on longer trips. April offers long days and great trophy odds.

northern lights tours

Whitehorse offers northern lights viewing from August to April. Guides find clear skies away from city lights. Tours last three hours and include drinks and snacks.

LOCAL EXPERTISE

Born and raised in the Yukon. We know every secret cove and optimal viewing spot from years of territory experience.

NO CONTRACTORS

When you book with us, you get us. We never farm out our trips to third-party contractors or inexperienced guides.

HOTEL PICKUP

Complimentary pickup and drop-off from any hotel or Airbnb in the Whitehorse area for all of our guided adventures.

Experience The Yukon With NCOA

Kyle Callbeck has guided lake trout and pike since 2016, first in the Northwest Territories and now across the Yukon. He runs every trip personally, so the person planning your day is the person on the water with you. He’s known for the shore lunch as much as the fishing: fresh fish cooked on the bank using what you landed that day.

Beginners are genuinely welcome. A good share of trips are someone’s first time holding a rod, and that often works out well, with no bad habits to undo. Families, fly anglers, and serious trophy hunters all get a day built to suit them.

Best Times To
Fish The Yukon

Different months suit different fish, and the aurora has its own calendar. Use this to time your trip:

Different months suit different fish, and the aurora has its own calendar. Use this to time your trip:

Dr. Scott McGarvey

Northern pike

June is best; July & August strong; April through the ice for trophies

Lake trout

June to early August and September; good all winter on the ice

Arctic grayling

May and June in rivers; all summer in lakes

Burbot

February to April through the ice (daytime in April); Sept to Oct by boat

Northern lights

Late August through April, on clear dark nights

Open-water season

May to October · Ice season: November to April

Heads-up: June and the winter aurora months are the busiest. October, November and April are quieter, often the best value and, for ice fishing, some of the best trophy fishing of the year.

Getting here & pickup

Most guests fly into Whitehorse (airport code YXY) and stay in town. Trips include hotel pickup in Whitehorse, and most fishing is within about two hours’ drive. Start times are flexible and coordinated with you: typically morning, midday or evening, with northern lights tours starting around 10 pm.

New to fishing?

That’s normal here, and welcome. Kyle teaches first-timers all the time and includes instruction as part of the day. Kids’ trips focus on fast action and fun rather than trophy hunting, so younger anglers stay hooked.

Book your Yukon trip

Groups are small, and Kyle guides each trip. June and winter northern lights book up first. Send your dates and interests, and he’ll create a fitting plan.
