Guests planning to bring their own gear are advised to pack a medium weight rod with ten to twelve pound test for the lake fishing, as well as ultra light and fly tackle for the streams and rivers. Medium weight spinning gear will also give you some great sport on most of the nearby rivers. Utilizing chest waders lets you get to those hard to reach places, and are an added benefit - if you have a favorite pair, bring them along.

The Catch and Release Gallery
Inconnu Lodge is devoted to sustaining and conserving all Yukon wild natural resources, and therefore operates on a "Catch and Release" basis. If you catch a trophy fish, we will photograph, weigh and measure your "Catch and Release" trophy in preparation for a replica mount, and release it so it may fight another day. We work with North Americas finest replica taxidermists Advanced Taxidermy.
