				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!

				Trip of a Lifetime at Alaska’s Bear Claw Lodge I took my family of six, my nephew, and three friends to Bear Claw Lodge in August 2025, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. Every single one of us caught trophy rainbows, arctic char, graylings, and salmon—day after day of unbelievable fishing. The fly fishing was world-class, the guides were top-notch, and the food was absolutely fantastic.

I’ve fished all over—Rocky Mountains (my home base near Yellowstone, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming), seven trips to Alaska, Canada, Mexico, deep sea off California, and even Brazil for peacock bass in the Amazon—and I can honestly say this ranks among the very best experiences anywhere.

The fishing, lodging, guiding, and meals were all five-star quality. The entire experience was delightful from start to finish. If you’re thinking about fishing Alaska, stop thinking and just book it. You want to go here. I absolutely will be returning.
