Duncan's Steelhead Camp

Kodiak Island, Alaska

We’ve just been made aware of two last minute openings at the Duncan’s Invitation Creek Steelhead Camp on Kodiak Island, specifically for the dates of:
• October 5 to 12. 2024 (1 rod)

As the camp’s name (Invitation) would suggest, open space almost never come available for this wilderness steelhead experience… with only 6 anglers a week, a short season, and a stream full of steelhead, demand understandably outstrips availability. Weeks traditionally see steelhead entering the stream in numbers rarely seen in the steelhead world – the earlier dates will also see a lot of silver salmon. It is small water, great for dead-drifting or swinging, though only with single- handed rods – double-handers are just too much for the size of water. These wild fish are mint-bright and only a rifle shot from the salt, averaging 24 to 27-inches with quite a few from 28 to 30. A big steelhead here will be 32 to 35 inches. The river is too small to run boats on, so all fishing is accessed via hiking the river and rewards those who are comfortable hiking one to three miles a day. Contact Mike Mercer for more information.

Baranoff Wilderness Lodge - Base Camp

South East, Alaska

This is a very rare opportunity at Baranof Wilderness Lodge - Base Camp. Mike Trotter, notified us that a group that has been coming up for years had to cancel due to some unforeseen circumstances.

Since the trip is only a month away, he is offering the spots at a 50% discount.

• Dates: August 19-24, 2024 - 7 spots available
• 5 nights/5 1/2 days
• Regular Price is $6,850/person
• Discounted Price:$3,425 + $252.25 taxes

An absolutely prime time and one of the best weeks of the summer with the greatest diversity of salmon species in the rivers and in the ocean. In addition to the highly effective trolling with conventional gear, fly fishermen can hook up consistently casting flashy streamers to the edges of kelp beds, or off the mouths of tributary streams. The streams are full of pink & chum salmon as well as tons of Dollie Varden. There is also world-class halibut action available throughout the season. Many fish in excess of 100 pounds are landed annually, along with untold numbers in the 20-60 pound range. They also have an special little pond full of Cutthroat Trout for more freshwater opportunities.

Amazing Bear, whale and eagle watching. Some of the whale encounters they have in Kelp Bay are up close an personal, at times they have had a couple of these come to the boats and be touched!

The Base Camp is a special place; they only take 6-8 guest a week with a staff of 6 of their all star guides. The camp is nested in the old growth forest and looks like the shire from Lord of the Rings! It is set up with a Hot propane shower, Large yurt style tents with heaters and full propane kitchen. Many nights our guest can hear the whales in the bay frolicking and breathing from the bunks at night! The Bunks are extra large cots with pads and sleeping bags with fresh liners.

The Lodge is extremely popular and enjoys a 90% plus return rate, year after year after year. Available space is extremely difficult to secure. It’s just that good!

This is a great family or couples destination.
