Fishing: In this area the variation of fishing is enormous. Except from the main river you can fish some 10 tributaries. Sturgeon fishing however mostly takes places in some parts of the main river. You may expect 10-15 hook-ups per boat ( max 4 fishermen) per day. Sizes vary from 60 lbs to far above 600 lbs. Fishing Salmon( especially sockeye and silvers) and steelhead fishing can both be done in the main river but often more successfully in one of the beautiful tributaries. In the main  river fishing is mostly done by spinning and baitcasting whereas the tributaries offer excellent fly fishing.
