Let’s get REEL about fishing:

• Fish Cleaning Notice: For your safety, fish cleaning is not permitted on the property due to the risk of bears. Please clean your fish at the river.

• Fish Handling Tips: Ensure the best flavor and texture of your Alaskan catch by following these key steps:

  • Step 1: Handle your fish with care by promptly stunning it on the head to stop it from thrashing and damaging the meat.
  • Step 2: Immediately bleed the fish by cutting a gill and submerging it in water for around 10 minutes. This step is vital to remove any “fishy taste” and minimize spoilage.
  • Step 3: Keep your fish cold using a cooler with ice, preferably shaved. Regularly drain any water and deliver your catch to a processor as quickly as possible.
• Fish Storage: Guests in one-room cabins have access to shared freezer space in BaseCamp, featuring two full-size fridge/freezers. Two-bedroom cabins come equipped with their own fridge/freezer for convenient storage.
• Fish Processing & Shipping: Local fish processors provide expert services to clean, package, and freeze your catch. They also offer convenient shipping options to ensure your fish arrives home fresh and ready to enjoy.
