Our Fishing Guides

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

My father and I have visited Bearclaw Lodge annually for the past dozen years or more. …

My wife, a nature photographer, and I, an avid fly fisherman, visited Bear Claw Lodge in early September after meeting the owners, Rob and Lisa Fuentes, at the Safari Club International annual meeting in Houston, Texas, in 2010. …

I have been four times all the way from Japan taking over 18 hours with long distance international flight and long layover time at Anchorage waiting Penair.
(Better to take Alaskan once a day jet flight to Dillingham)
But, It is worth going multiple times, since you can catch almost all species in freshwater in AK.
I trust the best time to visit is either early July for King and Sockeye or Mid August for Silver. But,Its not too bad to achieve grandslam of salmon in end of July.
The lodge located beside beautiful lake, you can enjoy great scenery on fine day.
Owner Rob and his wife Lisa are taking care of me recommending bear or wine after fishing.
I am keeping in touch with some of friendly fishing guides even now.
Most of the gears providing including wading gear, but no double hand or switch rod, recommend you to bring your own if you need.
