Book with Kyle for small, private trips year-round, focusing on fishing and northern lights. Enjoy your day with great care.
Every trip includes all the fishing gear, food and drinks. You show up, Kyle handles the rest.
All rods, reels, tackle, bait, augers and ice shelters.
Hot drinks and snacks on every trip; a fresh shore lunch on all full-day trips, day or night, cooked from the fish you caught. Usually fried fish with fries, beans and corn, or a foil bake with potatoes or rice if you’d rather. A camp stove comes along to warm food and water, and a campfire is often possible on the ice or in a sheltered spot onshore.
Hotel pickup and drop-off in Whitehorse, or another agreed spot in the city. Prefer to meet at the lake? That works too, though there’s no discount for it.
Two things are on you: a valid Yukon fishing license (for fishing trips) and clothing for the conditions.
Dress in layers; it’s surprising how warm you get moving around on the ice. Try not to sweat, since you’ll chill quickly once you stop. Proper winter clothing is required, and you may be turned away without a refund if you arrive unprepared for the cold, so ask Kyle if you’re unsure.
A valid Yukon fishing license is required and they are inexpensive. You can buy one online, at Hougens Sportslodge on Main Street in Whitehorse, or at Environment Yukon on Burns Road. Youth under 16 can fish without a license if they are with a license-holding adult. You’ll need to show your license before the trip starts.
North Country follows all Yukon fishing laws and regulations, including barbless hooks where required. To keep the fishery healthy, guests may keep up to two fish each per trip, on top of any eaten for shore lunch, and all trophy fish are released:
Filleting is available for $5 per fish, boneless almost every time, though the occasional stray bone gets through.
Start times are flexible and set with you, usually morning, midday or evening; ice fishing departs around 8 am or 1 pm, and northern lights tours generally start later in the evening. Book online through the booking form or call Kyle directly. Groups are small and the calendar fills early, so reach out well ahead for peak dates.
No, and be wary of anyone who does. The aurora is a natural event. We stay mobile and chase clear skies, so guests see them on a large share of trips. Late August to April is the window.
