Alaska Fly Out Lodges
Fly-out lodges target small rivers
and spot jet boats on fisheries less than an hour away. Alaska Fish
and Wildlife authorities limit the number of boats allowed in parklands
to minimize impact, and local native corporations license access
to their tribal properties. The result is there isn't too much pressure,
even at the best spots.
Depending on the size of the group and their destination, pilots
may stay with their fishermen or leave a few of them in the hands
of expert guides, returning to pick them up at the end of their
day. The decision-making process is a little different at each lodge,
but the results are the same. Anglers split up in parties of two,
three, or four, depending on the type (and size) of the aircraft,
where they're heading, and how many guides will be accompanying
them.
When anglers leave these great lodges early each morning for some
of the best fishing in the world, the level of excitement and anticipation
is often enough to start the plane.
