Fishing Day
On your day of arrival, you will have a few hours
in the afternoon to get out and work out the kinks.
Following this you will have 6 straight
days; these are full fishing days, and the exact schedule
will depend on the your wishes, as well as fishing and weather conditions.
Breakfast and dinner will be served in the lodge and mid-day meals
are served in the field, streamside, or you may return to the camp
for lunch if you like. Regardless, with the fishing virtually within
a stone’s throw of the lodge, your fishing days are full days
– pace yourself. The first four days will be spent fishing
the river in front of camp, and the large, “bonefish”
tidal flats located a short walk or boat ride upriver. As an option,
guests can walk up the smallish main river tributary, fishing a
trout rod for sea run dollies averaging 12-20 inches (with the occasional
brute in the 23-25 inch range); this little creek is usually full
of salmon as well, and offers a real change of pace from the fishing
downstream. The final two days are spent exploring even more remote
silver rivers by helicopter, streams that are never fished outside
of camp guests – this is an experience beyond description!
Just the flights alone are life experiences, flying over remote
tundra beaches, hovering in front of feathery mountain waterfalls,
and landing on remote streams often black with fish.
