Overall, the fishing here is great with plenty of opportunities to battle big fish. They also offer hunting for moose and bear. The big benefit is that the area is accessible only by boat or plane and for hunters they can take you to places where few people ever get to, to hunt. Both hunting and fishing expeditions can be guided or unguided. If you want the big game or trophy fish, a guide is useful. the ratio of guides to fishermen is 1:2 ensuring that each guest has plenty of personal attention.
