About This Tour
A private nighttime combo trip near Whitehorse — ice fishing for burbot inside a heated, purpose-built shelter with a guide who's fished the Yukon for over 30 years, followed by watching the sky for the aurora borealis with hot drinks and local snacks.
Burbot is the only freshwater member of the cod family, and a night-feeding fish that bites readily in winter, which is why it suits a beginner's first ice-fishing experience. Fishing from a heated shelter means you can warm up between bites without missing a thing, and the guide handles drilling the holes and setting the lines.
The Yukon sits beneath the auroral oval, which is why the aurora season runs from roughly mid-August to mid-April. The coldest, clearest weather from December to March tends to give the best chance of a display, but the aurora depends on solar activity and cloud cover, so no guide can promise it. Hot drinks and snacks make waiting more fun.
Trips run late into the night, often until well after midnight, so plan to rest the next day. A fishing licence is typically arranged through the operator, so check this before you go.
