    I've flown out of Watson Lake with Northern Rockies and out of Dease with BC Yukon and Tsayta Aviation. You can also fly out of Tatogga . . . believe it's Alpine Lakes Air.

    I can confirm, Tatogga is Alpine lakes air. I've used them before but not for sheep

    Rumor has is they might not fly you into certain sheep lakes. I never asked, but did fly with them last fall to a lake that has sheep nearby although that was not the focus of our hunt.

    I have not had that experience. Two years ago they flew me into a lake with one of their camps on it. They have been very straightforward to deal with. Bill is an interesting and informative guy to talk to and he is very invested in wildlife in the area.

    I've flown with them two years in a row and they won't fly into a lake where they have already dropped someone. Of course, that doesn't mean the competitor out of Watson Lake won't.

    I had a decent experience with them, great hunt after switching lakes up due to some agreements they had on where they would fly, but we made do and had an amazing hunt and they were easy to deal with.

    They did drop a group at the same lake half way through our hunt. Not complaining, just stating it since it was brought up. We were caribou hunting and went home with a truck load of meat regardless!!
