Reservations and Rates

The Fly Shop was literally in on the ground floor of Hoodoo Lodge; not only did we book much of Rod’s initial season of fly fishing clients, but he also hired on some “The Fly Shop” guides, who did a lot of carpentry work to get the lodge finished prior to the season opening.

In addition, we were able to pass on a lot of our experience regarding successful fly fishing lodges to Rod, and he in turn blew our socks off in terms of performance. One of our early season clients described Rod as “a force of Nature”, and throughout the season we heard repeatedly that Rod has a work ethic that defies human description. It was a match made in heaven!

The travel staff here at The Fly Shop communicates almost daily with Rod, and has exclusive and up-to-the-minute access to their calendar. When you call us, we can tell you immediately what space is available for the upcoming season, as well as what to expect, fishing-wise, during any open weeks. We’ve all been there, and can speak from firsthand experience. Tackle, flies, clothing, itinerary, whatever – we’re happy to talk you through what to expect. Feel free to call us at 800-669-3474, or email travel@theflyshop.com , and one of our travel specialists will respond promptly.

After a verbal confirmation of your reservation you'll receive a short confirmation letter or e-message showing the dates of your stay, terms of the booking and an invoice showing the cost of the trip. A 50% deposit is normally due within two weeks of deposit. Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival. Deposits and final payments can be made with either a credit card or check. The 2009 weekly angling rates at Hoodoo Lodge are:

'11 Rates

• King salmon slots are based on a 6 night/5 day stay, and cost $5850/person in 2011
• Grand Slam Salmon weeks (week-long package) $4,150/person in 2011
• Silver salmon slots are 7 night/6 day, and are priced at a very reasonable $4,650/person in 2011

Space is very limited –the lodge has a tremendous return angler rate, and only accommodated 12 guests a week.

The Hoodoo Sport Fishing Package Includes

Meet and greet in Cold Bay, round trip bush plane flight service between Cold Bay and the lodge (a 75-mile, 40-minute flight), all lodging in shared, double occupancy rooms with separate, shared full baths, all meals while at the lodge including beer, wine, a limited open bar with a select few choices, and sodas, daily guided fishing (two anglers/guide and boat except during silver season, when it is a 3:1 client/guide ratio), optional over night fish/float excursion including sleeping bags, dry bags and the bush plane flight to headwaters lake where the floats begin.

Payment Policy

Please make all checks payable to The Fly Shop. Personal checks, Master Charge, Visa, American Express and Discovery are all accepted as payment. Reservations must be confirmed by a 50% deposit within 14 days of receipt of invoice. Final payments are due 60 days prior to scheduled arrival. In the event that the reservation is made less than 60 days prior to arrival, the original invoice will be for the entire balance.

Cancellations and Refunds

All deposits and payments are non-refundable.
Alaska lodges are small, the season is short, and the angler capacity is very limited. The non-refundable lodge cancellation policy is an industry standard. Finding replacements are ultimately the responsibility of the canceling party; however, The Fly Shop will make every effort to help locate a replacement angler should a cancellation be necessary. Finding a replacement for an Alaska trip on short notice can be very difficult and, at times, impossible. In the event of a cancellation, please notify us immediately.
