Fishing near Dawson City, Yukon

Dawson City sits at the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike Rivers in the Klondike region of Yukon, and that junction is the heart of the local fishing scene. Arctic grayling are the signature catch, thriving wherever clear tributaries meet the silt-heavy Yukon. Northern pike and inconnu round out the river fishing, while the Blackstone River north of town along the Dempster Highway is known for grayling as well. Midnight sun means you can fish around the clock in summer.
