About
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 has world class steelhead. These fish live in some of the toughest conditions and they way they fight shows it.
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. 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.
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.
