Kind of strange this winter, had hawks around all winter. Usually they leave and come back in March. Kept seeing a bunch this winter. Lots of owls will be showing up around town about April.

Even here in Canada lots of owls. I have not seen a hawk or eagle yet but some of my buddies had had peregrines around there traps. Lots of rabbits all of a sudden also. Good sign for next year hopefully.

Very cool, YukonJeff! Not all your hives have electric around them. Are bears not a problem there in AK? Bears here in PA are a big problem with bee hives. I like that big ol Smith 'n Wesson you keep handy for the Killer Bees

Thanks. And yes I do have one strand around them at the end if you look. The dogs let me know when bears are around, they are pretty good at staying away so far, I had one brown run by the house last summer, I put a little lead under his feet to keep him moving, he didn't come back. And we shoot at them a lot around here so they learn fast.

Caught these at the airport.

These in the net.




Check out the Whitefish. I think that's the biggest I ever caught.

What are the rest of them ? Are you smoking all them up ?

They are Sheefish. They are running up the Yukon to spawn from the Bering Sea. I believe Muskrat411 calls them Connie or something.

Also one Pike in there. They make great smoked dry fish, Its too cold now though.

I pass them out in the village. Eat some.

That’s a heck of a broad whitefish you caught. Are you catching any Cisco at all?

Yea That's a keeper for sure.

I Took off to Thailand this winter and didnt set the 3.5 ". I miss eating them.

Broad Whitefish...I don't think that is the same one in Lake of the Woods, ours looks...deeper and the nose is different.

Do they have a pointed nose? these here have like a sheep head., we have the other pointed nose ones here too, I don't know the English name for them.

No pointed nose. I am trying to envision the last time I saw one, but yours is thicker, and not as deep. ours have a head similar to a tulibee but different. We don't have many either.

I just googled it and I think what we have is Lake Whitefish, or inland white fish. Common here, great lakes and throughout Canada. I did not find a suitable pic.

Lake whitefish is known as crooked back around here. The big broads that live in lakes is whats known locally as lake whitefish. The one in yjs sled is a good sized broad. Ill have to get a picture this summer of one of the jumbo broad whitefish we catch on our ocean fishing project. Sheefish is known as cony here. Proper name is inconnu which is french for unknown.

Also for clarification a dolly varden char and a bull trout are seperate species. Common mistake i always see.

Getting some bigger Pike now.

Looks like one hive made it,and is pretty strong. The other I let starve by not getting another sugar brick on in time last month.
My two nucs were robbed in the fall and never recovered and didnt make it.
Have two more packages coming later this month.

Good to see you sharing great pictures Jeff!
