				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.

				5 Star Alaskan Fishing Trip My wife and I booked a trip in late July for the Great Alaskan Trout adventure — and we were not disappointed! The lodge, food, staff, and guides were all top-notch. From the moment we arrived in Dillingham, we felt like we were among friends.

The meals were excellent, and the kitchen team was very accommodating of my shellfish allergy — no issues even when shrimp or clams were on the menu. After a full day on the river or hiking creeks, the lodge was the perfect place to relax and unwind.

One of the things we enjoyed most was dining with the guides each day. It made the whole experience feel personal — more like fishing with friends than a client-guide setup. Many of the guides have fished these waters for several seasons and know the area inside and out.

We honestly lost count of how many trout, Arctic char, Dolly Varden, and grayling we caught each day. Watching a massive 20+ inch rainbow rise to take a dry fly was an unforgettable moment — and one that will definitely bring us back!
