Located
on the uninhabited Pacific coast of the Alaska Peninsula, AWS has
a sterling reputation for delivering a high quality fly fishing
experience despite the daunting logistics associated with their
wilderness setting.
And that setting is breathtaking;
walk out your tent door and look to the right – there is the
wild Pacific. Straight ahead, you look out over a salmon-filled
river and estuary, framed in the background by a towering rock escarpment.
To the left, you’re looking up into the forested, layered
mountains that form the cradle of the home stream, a view dominated
by an immense, glacier-covered mountain, and closer in, Harley’s
Hill, a unique volcanic upthrust vaguely reminiscent of the Devil’s
Tower. Once here, you are in for the experience of a lifetime; walking
the home stream for burly silvers, day hiking the upper reaches
of the stream for unbelievable numbers of sea run Dolly Varden,
stalking the nearby ocean beach for ocean-cruising salmon, and helicoptering
to other remote rivers for more of the same. It is a unique experience,
even for Alaska.
