Join us on an immersive experience into the Alaskan bush to one of the best steelhead and silver salmon fisheries on the globe! Kodiak island isn't just home to massive brown bears but also to world class steelhead. These fish live in some of the toughest conditions and they way they fight shows it. The Karluk river meanders its way through the mountains and dumps into the Gulf of Alaska, when the fish enter the river in the fall they are fresh from the saltwater and fight like they have something to prove. We are excited to be partnered with the Kodiak Brown Bear Center, they have built a 5 Star lodge on Karluk Lake. Situated on an island you can soak up the surrounding area from the deck of your cabin, and enjoy a 5 star meal while watching mountain goats, blacktail deer and of course Kodiak Brown bears. Along the river are strategically placed cabins, a little more rustic than the lodge but offer great creature comforts for fall in Kodiak. After getting situated we begin our journey down the river. Home to steelhead, CoHo salmon and Dolly Varden trout. There are plenty of ways to target these incredible fish. The average dolly is around 20" and you can just about catch one whenever and however you want. Skate a mouse on top, swing smolt and intruder flys, catch silvers on poppers, or fish egg patterns. The river receives a million sockeye and pink salmon annually, with a couple million extra pink salmon every even calendar year. Meaning there are a ton of eggs and protein in the river for these game fish to feast on. This is a 6 day trip. Guest are received at the Kodiak Airport and transported via float plane to the lodge. There are limited launch dates with up to 6 guest per launch. Trips run from mid September into beginning of October.
