FISH HANDLING AND SHIPPING
Harvested fish will be cleaned, filleted and boxed as part of the package price.

Due to bag fees for virtually all airlines, most guests choose to ship their processed fish by Federal Express overnight to arrive after they have returned home. It is also possible to take your cleaned and frozen catch on the commuter plane with you as luggage. All guests departing by float plane must ship their fish home due to space and weight constraints.EARLY ARRIVALS AND BONUS DATES
