In addition, some waters have terminal tackle restrictions and all have bag and possession limits that may differ between drainages.

Most large lakes along the Dalton Highway corridor still have some ice on them, but fishing for lake trout, Arctic grayling, and Arctic char can be good along the open edges near shoreBe sure to know what you are catching, as Arctic char and lake trout look very similar. Fishing for Arctic grayling in creeks and lake outlets should be good, and a few burbot can be caught in the Sagavanirktok, Colville, and Ivishak rivers, as well as Galbraith and Toolik lakes.
