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  The territorial government looks after enforcement in the stocked lakes area. DFO has enforcement on the Yukon River that is associated with anadromous species, but it's mainly the territorial government that has the responsibility for these lakes.

Fisheries committee  It can be a bit of a problem, but I don't think it's a major one for us, as compared to some of the other areas of Canada.

Fisheries committee  I would say they would be close. The problem we have in the Yukon is that our normal lakes are very non-productive in terms of the fact that our fish reach maturity for spawning when they are very old as compared to the southern provinces. Within the Yukon there are very elderly,

Fisheries committee  Yes, it's the cold waters and there just isn't a great abundance of other foods within the lake for them.

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  Not at all. I know it contributes a lot. I probably should have had my facts together before I came here, but I didn't.

Fisheries committee  To me, I don't know whether you'd call it the easiest.... I just see it as a very functional way to get people involved, be it kids or be it adults. I sign up as a host to take out some young kid who maybe has no other opportunity to get out—you know, parents who don't particip

Fisheries committee  That's right. I believe that's a good option.
