Big lake is a great place to target big Arctic Char/Dolly Varden. Rainbow fishing can also be very productive. Northern Pike are present in some areas of the lake and some very large fish have been taken in recent years. This is a no bait lake. Tube jigs, spoons or swim baits can be very productive. Using electronics can really increase your catch. Arctic Char/Dolly Varden are now NO RETENTION. All arctic char/Dolly Varden must be released unharmed immediately.
