Fly fishing in local lakes - browns, speckles and rainbows.

Very nice....where you fishing at??

A friend's wife with a keeper pickerel.
Great day fishing, great hosts!

Well I was going to post a few pics of my burbot I caught this winter, but after seeing this it would be positively embarrassing! Nice fish Yukoner!

Some Walleye out of Maxhamish Lake

Yes Yukoner know where they are and the huge ones ...

I ll post later some smaller ones ...

A few Burbot of the size that Yukoner caught,and the freezer would be full for the year.

Lots of the lakes up in the Yukon have the Burbot or only a few ?
How are they to catch in the Summer, hopefully going to make it up there this fall for a few days

Eric

Hi Eric,

There are burbot in most of the lakes here. Most are smaller than those in the picture. We ice fish for them, but do catch them incidentally during summer while trolling for lake trout.

They are quite a voracious predator, and often will have fairly large fish in them. The fish in picture where I am wearing the brown Gallatin jacket, was 42" or 43"long, and had a 17" burbot and several small herring in it. The other one was over 40", and full of herring.

Let me know when you are headed this way, and we'll try to keep you out of the tourist traps.

Ted

No it won't. Most of the ones I catch, are half that size. Post away!

Here's a couple of nice pike from yesterday.



This one was 39", and I caught her on my ultralight whitefish gear, using a tiny jig.



Took about ten minutes, and she was pretty tired when she came through the hole. Revived her, and sent her off to make babies this Spring.

Ted,

I'm trying to enlarge that first pic....head looks like inconneu [sp?]

Vern

That's what it is, and this is what it looked like the next day!



Was about twelve pounds IIRC.

We get some pretty big ones over here. I didn't catch it, but I saw one that weighed over sixty pounds. It was caught in a net in Teslin Lake. You have probably caught a few in your favourite haunts over here.

Ted

Well, not much compared to Yukoners, but good eating still.

A couple of Dean River steelhead that got released





A nice Swiftsure Halibut that went into the freezer

I see I cook Lakers just like Youkoner.

We eat eelpout here pretty regular in the winter--not so much in summer. Eelpout meat will get mushy pretty fast even packed in ice. Their delicious fresh. Whitefish on the other hand improve in flavor and texture by spending a few hours on ice.

I've got a picture around here somewhere of a 72lb laker that came out of Teslin. Never been there my ownself.

Actually, it's an inconnu, Stenodus leucichthys, the largest member of the whitefish family. Most of our Alaskan friends call them sheefish. They fight like crazy, with lots of long runs and multiple jumps. Some refer to them as fresh water tarpon.

They are a very oily fish that bake up quite well. You can see the dark oil on the cookie sheet I baked it on.
