Katmai National Park

Rob, his staff and guides were amazing. The accommodations and food were also great. I took my 11 year old son with me and both of us fly fished and knocked off 6 species off our bucket list (sockeye, chum, grayling, rainbow, Dolley Varden, and Pink).

Their guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and fishy. We experienced a variety of scenery, fishing out of boat and wading in side creeks. I got to see my son enjoy the time of his life fishing. That’s an experience we won’t forget. His smile from ear to ear warmed my heart.

The view at the lodge facing the lake was spectacular. Each day you get to witness the sunrise and sunset across the lakes and the mountains with a warm cup of coffee in hand or a cold drink in the evening after fishing.

Sadly, we had to live but no doubt we will return again to make more memories together. If you get the chance, take the opportunity and visit Alaska with them. It will be worth making memories with family and or friends. Thanks Rob, Greg, Doug, Ty, Steve, Keith, Barrette, Erica and John for taking care of us. You are the best!

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.

Alaska Fishing Trip of a Lifetime! I stayed at the Bearclaw Lodge on August 2019 and experienced world class salmon and rainbow trout fishing! The Lodge is very nice and comfortable with all the amenities of home and the views from the deck are breathtaking. The food is served timely each day and is hot and delicious. The guides are all very friendly, experienced and knowledgeable and will flat out put you on the fish! You can pick your preference of quality fishing tackle that is provided and catch plenty of fish on either fly or spinning gear. It is without hesitation that I am happy to highly recommend this Lodge and the owners Rob and Lisa which provide a warm and caring family oriented experience. I certainly intend to return soon.

Our family did a fishing trip here last year. It was incredible. Greg and his team did everything in their ability to make it a one of kind experience. This is a premier fishing destination, and a fantastic way to see Alaska.

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!
