For many years Dave Jones has been operating this isolated tent camp operation on the banks of Kodiak Island’s Ayakulik River, the only outfitter licensed to operate on the upper stretches of this watershed.

Each year the stream experiences strong returns of king salmon, huge runs of sockeyes and silver salmon, and predictable fall migrations of steelhead. Also in the river are large numbers of sea run dolly varden, and a smattering of rainbow trout. Though rustic, Dave makes this raw wilderness operation amazingly comfortable, with wonderful hospitality, excellent boats and guides, and a “fish-til-you-drop” mentality! Few, if any islands in the world, conjure images of untamed wilderness like Kodiak Island. This is home to the mighty Kodiak Brown Bear, and his rivers swell with pacific salmon, trout, and wild steelhead from June-October. It's here, deep within the confines of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge on the meandering Ayakulik River, you will find Dave Jones’ remote wilderness camp (10 miles from where the river flows into the Pacific Ocean). It is comfortable and offers the angler with adventure in his soul the opportunity to fish wilderness waters.

There are no long boat rides, no planes, not much of anything -- except plenty of fishable water, lots of fish and good times.
