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.

				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.

				The experience of a lifetime!   Rob, Lisa and everyone at the lodge are incredible.  We have gone to Bearclaw twice now and we have a third trip booked. Exceptional guides, food and accommodations in a family-friendly environment.  The fishing and scenery is exceptional, with multiple species, and big fish.  The hardest-working, most personable and talented guides you will find.  The gear is great.  The lodge accommodations are excellent, and the food is marvelous.  We will continue our trips, and we look forward to a new  amazing adventure each time.

				I have had many trips to Bear Claw Lodge and were excellent times. The fishing was fantastic the accommodations wonderful in the middle of bush Alaska. The guides take their time and quite patient with the fisherman. I have hunted and fished different lodges in the lower 48 and in Chile but what stands out from the other lodges is you are taken care of from pick up at the Dillingham airport until you are dropped back off at the airport. Every aspect is explained and your expectation is set as to when you will eat every morning and evening to what time you will meet your guide to start you day fishing. Your arrival back at the lodge is also a known time so you have no surprises. The food is great and very attentive to your likes, dislikes or special diet concerns.
