The guy that coined the phrase that "everything is bigger in Texas", had obviously never visited Alaska. The mountains are taller, the rivers are endless, the salmon runs are almost uncountable, the rainbows are monsters and the bears are bigger than you can imagine until you see one up close.

We don't accept the premise that Alaska fishing can only be for the rich. It is true that the prices are also bigger in Alaska - there are almost no roads in the state so everything and everyone is transported by airplane, which is costly - but we have done everything we can to bring the price of a trip down to a reasonable level.

Lodging - (double occupancy) in one of our riverfront cabins.

Food - Breakfast and Dinner at the lodge, with lunch usually being served on the water.

Boats - We include the use of our jon boats w/ motors and fuel for all of our guests. These can be taken on the water anytime (it stays light a long time in Alaska, so an after dinner fishing outing on some of the great pools and runs near camp is a great option).

Guide - I have been a fishing guide for 20 plus years. My job will be to make sure that everyone in camp has the best trip Alaska can offer. I will be hosting trips weekly using both the 22' prop boat and the 19' Jet boat to fish the places that are hot that week, including the Brooks River, Big Creek, the Naknek River Rapids and many lesser known hotspots. Because of our incredible location, we will be able to use these larger boats to access many of the locations that other Bristol Bay lodges must use aircraft to access.

Our normal trip runs from Saturday to Saturday. We will pick our guests up at the King Salmon airport on Saturday afternoon and drop them off back at the airport the following Saturday morning.

There are several Peninsula Airways flights going back and forth from Anchorage each day. We have a "lodge rate" for this flight, which is for an unrestricted ticket, fully changeable without fee, for $447.

Do-it-yourself

$1495 per person (based on double occupancy)
We are offering a less expensive option for the adventurous self-sufficient angler that wants to spend a week on the world famous Naknek, exploring this angling paradise on his own. We provide a boat and motor with gas, a riverfront cabin and all your meals.

Options

We are trying to provide an all-inclusive trip, but some visitors may want to customize their trip.

Fly-outs - Many float plane destinations are available for a day trip. The cost for a fly-out trip varies with the distance to the chosen destination, but many guided trips are available for $300 - $500 per person per day.

Bear and other wildlife photo safaris - In the course of our normal fishing day, we will likely have many opportunities to see and photograph the abundant wildlife populations. However, some serious photographers may want to spend more time pursuing the perfect photo. Let us know in advance of the trip and we will make sure that we plan a day or two in areas that maximise your opportunities for great photographs.
