Fisheries committee  It would all depend on the given day and the time period of the year. My guess is that if you fished extensively up here, you would be doing both.

Fisheries committee  Yes, you need a licence for all fishing in the Yukon.

Fisheries committee  It's $15 a year for a resident and it's $25 a year for a non-resident, so it's pretty cheap.

Fisheries committee  No, you don't need a guide.

Fisheries committee  No, there are various catch limits. Depending on the lakes there are slot limits in terms of the various sizes you are allowed to keep or not keep. There are lakes that are single hook only, barbless hooks. There are quite a variety of different methods being used to try to keep

Fisheries committee  No, it's not a food fishery. It is for the people who do participate, but to me, the value in terms of the equipment that is purchased to participate in accessing these various lakes.... There are people who fly in to lakes. I don't know how to equate or how to put a figure on th

Fisheries committee  That's true. The territorial government, though, does hands-on work with various groups, so they're not just providing technical expertise. They are out there doing the actual fieldwork. Sometimes various first nations are involved as well.

Fisheries committee  Yes, we do. There's not a big system of guides, but yes, in the various lakes. River guides are becoming more popular now, especially for Europeans who are going down the various rivers.

Fisheries committee  No, they do not. They can come to fish, yes.

Fisheries committee  DFO was in charge of it until the whole responsibility was shifted over to the territorial government about 10 or 15 years ago. There are about 25 or 30 lakes within the Yukon, but it doesn't have to stop there. If somebody wishes to create a lake, it's more about the details o

Fisheries committee  The territorial government looks after the stocking of the lakes. We aid them. Some of our members help stock the fish, as compared to the payment for the actual species. Quite frankly, I'm not sure what the budget is these days, but it isn't very large.

Fisheries committee  They are, and they grow amazingly well. It depends also within lakes on whether or not there is resident food species present. We happen to have those here in the Yukon, and the individual I was mentioning earlier who fished all our stocked lakes never took less than an eight-pou

Fisheries committee  Thanks. Good morning, everyone. My name is Gordon Zealand, and I'm executive director of the Yukon Fish and Game Association. I've had the good fortune to live and work in various parts of Canada, and I just can't imagine a resource that's as important as the sport fishing sect

Fisheries committee  DFO managed the freshwater fishery, including anadromous species, up until the 1990s, at which time it was transferred to the territorial government. In terms of the interaction of the boards, in my experience it has worked very well. Sure, there are always issues, but at least i

Environment committee  I'd say for us that when these programs becomes available, the various requirements for participation in them should be as simple as possible. Even if you look at the fisheries fund, for example, you often find that things get so complicated that various groups will bow out becau
