Is the Western Hunting and Conservation Expo a good place to shop for Alaska fishing package or are there better places or approaches? Why would the expo be any better or worse than internet reasearch? I have gone to the expo on weekends, but I don’t last long in those crowds and it seems like a difficult way to shop. I would consider going another time if I knew it was worth it?

Thursday and Friday mornings are pretty tame when they first open. I’d try going then.

Usually expos have discounted trips and the better deals.

I am only going Thursday and Friday this year. In the past I have gone Friday and Saturday. The crowds on Saturday are miserable

I’d never book any outfitter without the personal recommendation of a trusted friend, even for a “deal”!
