Bear Viewing

A short flight away is Brooks Camp. Originally set aside because of the volcanic history of this part of Alaska, it was soon designated as one of the great bar preserves in the world. You can sit and watch bears try to catch sockeye salmon jumping up the falls in this river that is a little more than a mile long. Brooks River is also full of rainbow trout and is one of the few places in the world where you can fish with the bears. If you want go please let us know and we can have a world class bear viewing opportunity for you and your family arranged.

				Fly fishing Alaska I stayed at Bearclaw Lodge last August with 9 other friends and had a great time The accommodations were nice. I shared a comfortable room w/a fellow angler. The guides were very good and we caught a lot of trophy sized fish. Since this was my first trip to Alaska, I don't have any other lodges to compare it to but I would go back for the fly-fishing.

				My father and I have visited Bearclaw Lodge annually for the past dozen years or more. Although we’ve fished across the lower 48 and in other key destinations (Europe, New Zealand) there is simply nothing that compares with bush Alaska, the Wood-Tikchik river system, or Bearclaw Lodge. When they say 100+ fish days, they actually mean it. We’ve had back-to-back doubles for an hour straight in June. We’ve had days with non-stop dry fly action in July. We’ve seen bead action in August that would blow your mind. We’ve caught boatloads of 24”+ rainbows in a week. We’ve seen the SW Alaska June grand slam (char, dolly, bows, grayling, kings, sockeye) numerous times from clients ranging from beginner to expert. All of this is thanks to Rob, Lisa, and the incomparable guide team they maintain year after year. When additionally viewed through the filter of price, Bearclaw is a value you can’t beat almost anywhere in the world. Highly recommended.

				Amazing fishing and stay!  Who knew! You can fish a mayfly hatch in Alaska!  The drake hatch was amazing and we caught doubles all day on top!  Wow! - We caught grayling, char and rainbow trout and it seemed endless!  The food was great and the accommodations met our expectations and what a beautiful place!
