What was this engagement about? 

Little Atlin Lake, in south-central Yukon, is a popular lake for recreational fishing which puts pressure on the lake trout population.

To protect the lake trout population, the Government of Yukon is proposing to make three changes to fishing regulations for Little Atlin Lake:

  • implement a harvest slot (allowable fish size) for lake trout from 58.5 cm (23 in) to 65 cm (25.6 in);
  • implement a seasonal closure for lake trout on Little Atlin lake from July 1st until November 30; and
  • require the use of single-point barbless hooks for all fishing on Little Atlin Lake.
How will my input make a difference?

Your feedback will help us understand if Yukoners support the proposed changes and understand the reasoning behind the changes

Your opinion will help us understand the public view of these regulation changes and determine if further discussion is needed.
