You don’t actually have to bring anything. We provide everything you will need to fish. If you choose to bring your own gear, that is fine.

• All gear included: rods, reels, tackle, waders, boats, and guides

• Guided fishing trips right from camp

• Lodging in one of our 4 cabins

• Central dining area for meals (provided) and relaxing

• Outdoor Fire pit

• Outdoor activities (cornhole, horseshoes)

• We have starlink for accessible internet

May through September would be the best time although, Alaska is incredible any time of the year.

Our Dining area and Cabins are ideal for 8 people but can accommodate up to 12.

Alaska weather is unpredictable. Our recommendation is if you bring waders to make sure you have a good waterproof jacket, if you are not bringing waders make sure you have rain-gear. Layering of clothing seems to be the best since the morning boat ride could be a little chilly and by afternoon it can be pretty warm.

The fishing will depend on what species you are targeting. King Salmon are usually caught by back-trolling out of the boat with a plug or jigging. Fishing for Sockeye is done up the creek with a technique called flossing. Polarized sunglasses and waders are a must. Silvers can be caught using several methods and either from the shoreline or boat.

All species of Salmon have a combined bag limit of 3 per day except for Kings which are closed this year.

Your guide will process the fish here at the lodge and place in the freezer. At the end of the trip, they will bag them up and send them into Anchorage with you on the plane. Once you reach the flight service they will sell you an insulated fish box for around $30 and load the box to the 50lb weight for you to check in with your airline. If you are staying in Anchorage overnight or for several hours before your flight most hotels offer freezer space and there is freezer storage available at the airport.

That is completely up to you and your travel companions. You are welcome to continue fishing catch and release, you can go up and flyfish in the creek, we have awesome northern pike fishing on the lakes upriver of the lodge or you are more than welcome to hang out at the lodge and enjoy the amenities. We have horseshoe pits and corn hole boards.

There will be envelopes provided in your rooms. Those envelopes may be turned into the management, left in the room or personally given to the guide. The average tip amount is 15 to 20% of the trip price. Our recommendation is a 50% split to the guide, 25% to the house staff and 25% to the kitchen staff (example $3900 trip x 20% = $780 total tip Guide $390, House Staff $195 and Kitchen Staff $195. This is just a recommendation; tipping is optional and should be at your discretion. If someone went above and beyond for you, please fill out the comment section of the tip envelope provided in the binder and let us know so that we may recognize a job well done, also if your service is not what was expected we would appreciate the input.
