Yukon "The land of magic and the mystery"
The Yukon Territory covers about 483.450 square
kilometers, of which only one percent is inland water and more
then half is wooded.
Tincup Wilderness Lodge: Catch me if you can?
One of the greatest challenges I first encountered in the
Yukon was that of catching the plentiful, yet exclusive species
of whitefish. Over the years, my passion for grayling in
Europe put me in frequent contact with whitefish. Eventually,
I developed an interest in them too, and, later, discovered
several tips and techniques for landing a healthy of
percentage of these spirited fighters.
Wolf Lake Wilderness Lodge
Wolf Lake is located in the deep wilderness of Canada's Yukon
Territories. The lodge itself is surrounded by breathtaking
scenery with an abundance of wildlife that matches the
incredible fishing.

The Klondike Gold Rush
and
The Klondike Goldrush: Timeline
After finding Kate and George Carmack, Skookum Jim and the
others were fishing in the Klondike River. It was July when
veteran fold-seeker Robert Henderson approached the group and
told Carmack about some good prospects he had found on Gold
Bottom Creek in the Klondike River Valley.
Tincup Wilderness Lodge: Inconnu
(the unknown whitefish)
Their fighting behavior is completely different from lake
trout and pike so when the long sink tip line went to the
surface with and unbelievable speed you know that it must be
the inconnu that took the fly.
Inconnu Lodge
When Tammy and Ina returned, their story was amazing! It
definitely was a once in a lifetime trip. It was a beautiful
day, in spite of the rather cloudy weather. Ina and Tammy
hiked from one mountaintop to the next, which was sometimes
rather strenuous. Their effort was well rewarded, because once
they reached the tops, the scenery was just spectacular! One
of the highlights was a mountaintop gourmet lunch, complete
with red and white wine!
Tincup Lodge: A month in the Yukon (two years on a row)
Another time, while hiking toward this lake, the same
shore bird again began its alarm call. That was surprising,
because we were still quite a distance away from the lake and
the bird could not have seen us. But as we walked around one
of the hills we ran into a young grizzly bear, coming in the
opposite direction. That explained the bird ’s alarm call!
Lucky the Bald Eaglet
We carefully walked closer, but the eaglet made no reaction
until I touched it. He moved his wings into an awkward
position, and it looked as if they might have been broken, but
after a closer look, he seemed okay. We didn't know what to
do.
Robert Service
Robert Service is just one of the renowned authors to have
helped glamorize the Yukon by creating legends of the Klondike
through his poetry.
Spell of the Yukon
I wanted the gold, and I sought it, I scrabbled
and mucked like a slave. Was it famine or scurvy -- I fought
it; I hurled my youth into a grave. I wanted the gold, and I got
it -- Came out with a fortune last fall, -- Yet somehow life's
not what I thought it, And somehow the gold isn't all.
