Getting there

On Saturday, the day prior to your arrival into camp you, should plan on traveling to Anchorage and overnighting.

Please make your flight reservations into Anchorage and Dillingham and hotel arrangements early, as space fill quickly during the short Alaskan summer and fall.

Arrive Dillingham on Sunday, in the afternoon, on Peninsula Air (PenAir) Flt #253, departing Anchorage at 11:45 pm, and arriving Dillingham at 1:15 pm., where a lodge representative will meet you at the airport and transport you to their floatplane base for the trip to the lodge. This beautiful flight covers a greater part of the Wood River/Tikchik State Park, one of the more heavily wooded and beautiful portions of the Alaskan Bush. For the next six days you'll be fishing in one of the most famous flyfishing regions of Alaska. From its location in the heart of the Bristol Bay drainage, the float-equipped aircraft of Royal Coachman Lodge will fly you to a variety of streams and rivers that are often literally choked with fish.

On your day of departure, the lodge will get you back out to Dillingham by late morning to catch your connecting flight - Peninsula Air (PenAir) Flight 254 - leaving Dillingham at 1:45 pm, arriving Anchorage at 4:00 pm. As with the flight in, you need to book and pay for this flight yourself, and make sure and tell the booking agent that you are with Royal Coachman Lodge. Depending on the air schedules in effect during 2009, you may be able to continue on to your home destination this night, or you can always choose to overnight before heading home.
