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.

				A Great Fishing Experience This was my wife's and my second visit to Bear Claw Lodge on Lake Aleknagik near Dillingham Alaska.  Rob Fuentes, the owner, and two of his guides, Brad and Chad, met us at the Dillingham airport in the lodge van for the short drive to Aleknagik village, where we caught his new boat to the lodge, about 30 minutes away.

We spent the next two days fishing for arctic char, Dolly Vardens, rainbow trout, grayling and sliver salmon in good weather, while my wife accompanied me in the boat with her photographic equipment.  She got some great bear photos of one of the brown bears that haunt the river banks this time of the year bulking up on the last salmon of the season as they get ready to hibernate.

We had a large room at the top of the stairs across the hall from the bathroom.  The only other guests, two from the Netherlands and one from the Washington State had rooms on the first floor, which also had the kitchen, dining room, and lounge area.  The food and hospitallity were once again exceptional.

				I have had quite a few visits to Bearclaw and all have been excellent. The staff does a fantastic job at making you at home and the guides will put you on Fish. I would recommend a trip to anyone no matter your fishing experience. You will be well taken care of from arrival at the Dillingham airport until you dropped off for your trip home
