Fishing
People from all over the world come to fish in the Yukon. They fish here because the fish are great and are pretty big and there are different kinds to catch. It's not as easy as it seems. You must have skill and the right equipment.
For fishing you need fishing rods, a boat (unless your fishing off a bridge or a dock), you need life jackets, a variety of tackle, but most importantly you need patience. You could also use a net but you need to take the time to set it, pull it up and untangle the fish. Usually nets are used for catching salmon.
Around Teslin the Teslin lake is a good place for fishing. You could catch salmon, Whitefish, lake trout and other fish. Some say there are sturgeon in the lake. You should try your luck.
