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.

Doug Smarch-master guide

Teslin Outfitters is owned by TTC(Teslin Tlinget Council)

Hunting is owned and operated by Tlinget people. For Tlinget people, hunting is a way of life. There have been a few record breaking trophies taken out of the of TOL, such as the 2nd largest caribou in the world, the fourth largest bear in north America and a few more. TOL has the biggest hunting grounds in the Yukon so you have more land to search for that prized trophy that is waiting to be on the hairs of your rifle scope. Some of the animals which are hunted are: Stone sheep, grizzly, mountain caribou, Yukon moose, Black bear, wolf, wolverine, and more. Everybody wants to go hunting with our experienced tour guides; from an ex-sniper to a multi-billionaire, even boxing world Champion Evander Hollyfield went hunting with TOL.

TOL has been in the hands of one family for over three generations, and the last of these generations is Doug Smarch, who is the master guide today.
