Survey of Some of the Most Fulfilling Fly Fishing Excursions in Alaska
|
Featured in the National Geographic's Ultimate Alaska issue, Ultima Thule Lodge is renowned for its luxury service, knowledgeable staff and experienced bush pilots. The lodge is fly-in only and located in the expansive Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. The lodge can arrange almost any type of day trip, but a lot of their focus is on fly fishing in Moose Valley. However, if your interest is fishing, make sure you book in advance to get there during the peak salmon migration period. The company sets itself apart from other fishing lodges by offering a range of activities, making it a great choice for an extended stay, family trip or corporate adventure. Side trips include glacier stops, white water rafting, skiing, or wilderness hikes. However, if you and your group want a more rustic or self-catered experience, you may want to look elsewhere. Ultima Thule is known for luxury, not wilderness expeditions. Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge (sadiecove.com) Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge is situated right in the middle of the beautiful Kachemak Bay, an area known for its fishing. The eco-lodge uses wind, hydro and solar power, and prides itself on being one of the greenest hotels in the country. Its amazing systems and accommodations have been featured in National Geographic, Forbes' Traveler, the Discovery Channel, ESPN, the Fishing Network and more. They arrange everything from photo safaris to fully customized Alaska fly fishing trips, while pampering guests with an in-house chef, on-site sauna and incredible scenery. Despite the amenities and commitment to sustainability, the rates at Sadie Cove are fairly reasonable. They start at about $400 per night per adult for an all-inclusive stay - meaning three meals a day, use of lodge facilities, a private cabin, and fishing equipment. However, private fishing charters or fly-ins do cost extra. Drifter's Lodge on the Kenai River (907-595-5555) If you want a more rooted, natural and rustic experience, Drifter's Lodge can offer it. The lodge is well-known and still comfortable, but much closer to the true Alaskan experience. They've been featured in The Lonely Planet, Time magazine and on the Discovery Channel. The bulk of their fly fishing is during the fall trout season. The lodge employs expert, local guides who know the best spots on the Kenai River and the perfect flies and casting techniques. Their catches and trips include Alaska salmon, Dolly Varden trout and, of course, rainbow trout. With on-site lessons and guided expeditions, some of the best Alaska fly fishing trips can be found right here.
