Flyout Fishing

Fly-Out Fishing

Our fly-out charter elevates you above breathtaking landscapes, allowing access to remote fishing locations. Depending on your destination, we may hike, raft, or land directly on rivers, lakes, and ponds. During your journey, you might spot majestic moose, brown bears, caribou, wolves, foxes, and soaring eagles.

Alaska’s Bear Claw Lodge has a commercial use permit for Wood Tikchik State Park and Katmai National Park. And when you come to the lodge you will have a choice to flyout to another remote destination. Fish for a different species, experience a different location or go bear viewing. A flyout during your stay allows you to tap into even more adventure in Bristol Bay and in a way put a cherry on top of your trip. The Agulapak, Nushagak, Kvichak, Kulik and Brooks Rivers are all a possible destination during your stay. We will choose the location that will help you fulfill your trip.

				Another Incredible Visit!  Booked next year too!! Rob and Lisa Fuentes have perfected the southwestern Alaska lodge adventure!  We are headed back for our fifth visit this year and we cannot   wait to return.   This exceptional, comfortable lodge is located on a 14 acre peninsula in the natural beauty of the Wood-Tikchik Park Lake Aleknagik area. The amazing, pristine lakes and rivers are teeming with many species of salmon and native fish.   You can catch silver or pink salmon on the fly or with a spin cast, or lure nice big rainbows, grayling, dolly varden or Arctic char on a dry fly, or lure some voracious northern pike on the fly. Stay in the well-equipped Hog Island boats ( very stable, with grippy decks for excellent footing  and a front support stand for fishermen to enjoy extra stability. if you choose, or get out and wade either the river, or hike a creek and enjoy some of the best sight casting round. The accommodations and food at the lodge are superb. Every comfort you could want in a wilderness lodge. The incredibly quiet generators and on-demand limitless hot water are great. Internet and phone service is available to keep up with the outside world. The guides are very hardworking, highly skilled professionals committed to ensuring your safety and to providing a world class fishing experience. The high quality Simms waders, boots and fishing gear are top notch. The chef-prepared food is amazing, and the lodge hospitality and ambience is exceptional. 

What to take: Gore-Tex rain jacket, layers of clothing since you could have the 70s or rain and the 50s, fingerless gloves, Buff or similar face mask, polarized sunglasses, slip on lodge shoes, ankle high rubber boots 

Note to mobility-challenged people like me:  if you have 70 degrees of knee flexibility and can walk with a trekking pole and stand for an hour at a time, this trip is very doable. Everything from arriving in Dillingham, boarding the comfortable small transport bus for a 40 minute drive to the large jet boat, then a 30-minute boat ride to the lodge  and a 125 yard walk up a gently sloping groomed trail to the lodge ( which has a ramp.) Guest rooms are located on the first or second floor.  

A dozen or fewer guests at a time allow you to get to know some very interesting people and to learn how Rob and his crew responsibly operate this lodge in an environmentally responsible manner, with a small footprint. You can also go on flyout trips offered by a highly experienced, top pilot, either to the  equally amazing Kingfishers camp to fish for king salmon, or to a remote creek for a chance to catch the rainbow of a lifetime!
