Cap Creek is a clear-water stream flowing approximately 17 miles from the west into the McClintock River, located within the upper Yukon River drainage near Whitehorse, Yukon. The creek runs with notably clear water over a defined bottom substrate, making it a productive and visually appealing fishery in the subarctic landscape of the Yukon Territory. The surrounding riparian environment reflects the boreal character of the region, and the stream's clarity allows anglers to spot fish and read the water effectively.

The area approximately three-quarters of a mile downstream of Michie Lake has been identified as a productive stretch, with documented fish diversity including multiple species in close proximity. The confluence of Cap Creek with the McClintock River is another natural focal point, as these junction areas consistently attract fish seeking feeding opportunities and migratory routes. The Michie Lake outlet itself, where the creek transitions from lake to stream habitat, is worth exploring as fish often stage in these transitional zones.
