Wet weather working through today, with mild air moving in from the SSE and no real change in pressure. Expect most activity at Nares Lake around shallow cover and weed edges. A hard day on paper; the morning edges the rest. Go lighter and slower than usual. Bundle up; the fishing will be slow but not impossible.

Yukon in Yukon is where Nares Lake sits. The surface lies 649 metres up. At 5.29 sq km this is proper open water rather than a pond. It is low-lying compared with other Yukon water we list. Nearest town is Whitehorse, 65 km off. It is 836 km to Anchorage, the nearest city. Within a short drive: Spirit Lake 11 km, Crag Lake a touch under 12 km, Blue Lake 12 km, Bennett Lake a touch under 14 km and Tagish Lake 15 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.
Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. On Nares Lake that means starting tight and working out. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind.
Averages here run 12°C at the top of summer and -18°C at the bottom of winter. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. Ice-out usually falls in mid May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Averages place the thaw at mid May and the freeze at late October. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. It holds true on Nares Lake more years than not.
Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Should this one be busy, Spirit Lake is 11 km off. Treat access at Nares Lake as something to verify.
