Fish Hunt Combo

Write up and pictures are submitted to Kym, our web designer, for our new Fish Hunt Combo package, combining ocean fishing for Halibut, Rockfish, Cod, and Crab, fresh water fishing for Silver Salmon and Steelhead, and mountain hunting for Sitka Black Tailed Deer! 

We have been asked to prepare a package featuring all three for sometime, and finally presented this unique opportunity during the last two weeks of September.  Keep an eye on our websites and/or e mail us if this trip could be of interest to you!

Merry Christmas!!

It's hard to believe the Holidays are upon us once again!  Our season concluded December 13 this year, so have spent the last week relaxing, winterizing the cabins, and preparing for what has been, so far, a very mild and easy winter.  We will head for Anchorage and then Girdwood, Alaska's ski town, to spend Christmas with Birch's family, though it looks like lack of snow will prevent any skiing!

Birch's sister Amber is getting married in Ko Tao, Thailand this February so we look forward to our first international trip with Fisher and Sage this spring.  It will be quite the trip for the Robbins family, and we look forward to soaking up some sun and going for an Elephant ride! 

In the meanwhile, we truly wish you and yours a happy, safe, and loving Christmas and Happy New Year!
How was 2014?

2014 was another fantastic year, enjoying many new guests and a lot of old friends.  Despite new halibut limits we had some of the best fishing we've EVER had, including several halibut over 200lbs, and one over 300!  The King Salmon populations hurting the major King Salmon systems across SC Alaska seems to be on the mend; for the first time we caught nice Kings right away in May, and reports have it the numbers of winter Kings are abundant as well.  Great to see!  As always, our fly out bear views, guided kayaking and hiking trips were a success as well. 

Our lodge team was outstanding this year, featuring returning captain John "the Legend" as captain of the Artemis, and Ruth our star chef.  As Fisher and Sage get older they, too, begin to shadow team members and help out. 

We are already looking forward to 2015!  Our season begins May 24 next year already less than 5 months away!
