Rackla River

Rackla River cuts through Yukon, Canada and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Rackla River — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

• For Lake char

  Target lake trout in deep, cold water during the summer months, focusing on areas with structure or drop-offs; use a fish finder to locate schools of fish and baitfish.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For Arctic grayling

  Arctic grayling often feed in riffles and runs, so focus your efforts in these areas and use a drag-free drift when fly fishing.
