Although some fishing can be done in the creek it requires much local knowledge. The next drainage is Echo Lakes. One of the best points about this entrance is the water taxi that is available out of Echo Lakes Lodge. The folks there will for a modest fee drop you at the head of the lakes and make arrangements to pick you up later. This saves miles of hiking and makes it ideal for a day trip.
Tamarack Lake is the closest lake to the end of the water taxi route and suffers from over use.
However, right next to Tamarack are Ralston and Cagwin Lakes that provides less used alternatives with plenty of fish and solitude. The people at the Lodge can give you some information about local conditions depending on what time of year you go. One of the more interesting lakes up here is lake of the Woods that is heavily used but has large fish and extensive weedbeds. This lake can also be reached from the Echo region but from either entrance is a very long day-trip. Most of the small lakes in this area have brookies and provide pleasant recreation.
