For sports anglers around the world Alaska enjoys the
reputation as the paradise on earth. This is the place where
fish can weigh even more than the angler. Its no coincidence
that fisherman from each corner of the world are inspired by
every river and delta that Alaska provides.
Most Alaskans
own boats in order to fish on the rivers and deltas.
The two
Lodges are equipped with a complete fleet of boats. Every
guest has the choice to fish at will or to have one of our
experienced guides accompany them. Any guest who likes to
try their own luck, can take a boat and search for their
trophy fish in the most productive fishing grounds the
Yentna River and its tributaries have to offer. However, if
anglers want to try back trolling or bank fishing, then one
of our experienced guides is necessary.
The best area for fishing is upriver at the banks of the
Lake Creek. You will only get there with the help of the
jet-propelled boats and Guides. Our experienced guides will
show our guests the most productive areas and instruct the
experienced or untrained anglers alike. The guides possess
all the tricks necessary to fish for salmon and they also
take pleasure in sharing their many years of experience with
the guests so that the anglers have the most chances to land
a tremendous amount of Salmon. |
