With access to pristine northern waters, including lakes and rivers known for northern pike, arctic grayling, and various trout species, Whitehorse is being named one of the best fishing spots in the country for this year.
FishingBooker analyzed internal booking trends, angler interest, and destination popularity from the past year to identify the Best Fishing Cities in Canada for 2026.
Whitehorse is unlike other crowded destinations and offers an untouched wilderness experience, which is one of the reasons it made the list, according to FishingBooker.
The city is also close to the Yukon River and to other, more remote fishing spots in the region.
For anglers wanting to be surrounded by solitude and nature and for people wanting to indulge in adventure and the outdoors, this city is the perfect destination, stated FishingBooker.
Some cities in Western Canada that made the top ten list were Vancouver, Prince George and Edmonton.
