Don't pass
up this trip. It's truly an Alaskan experience with a "smorgasbord"
of fishing and bird hunting activities. With the comfort of
the lodge and the variety of fishing and hunting options, it's
the best trip we offer. You will fly commercially from Anchorage
to Cold Bay, Alaska where we will meet you at the airport. Then
you will have to decide to pick up a fishing rod or a shotgun.
Bring your dog! We have
facilities for dogs and there is no better training or test
than the Izembek Waterfowl Refuge or field hunting for Alaskan
Ptarmigan. If you prefer you can have a full week of fishing
or mix it up with bird hunting or other options offered. There
are no bad weather days as there are fishing and hunting options
from the lodge using the road system making it unnecessary
to fly-out each day. We also have overnight out-camps available
at key locations.
The scenery is awesome!
The area is not developed making it very remote. You are literally
at the end of the North American Continent with little or
no competition on the fishing streams.
Private plane owners
may fly directly into Cold Bay via a fully instrumented 10,400'
ILS runway.
Guest transportation
to the Cold Bay Lodge is provided by PenAir from Anchorage.
The route of the 400 mile flight is through a coastal mountain
range that is an active volcanic zone, and offers a splendid
view of a coastline reminiscent of southern Oregon and northern
California. Your aircraft will arrive at the airport and our
guests will be met and will be transported to the lodge. A
standard fishing week is from Sunday to Sunday, unless other
arrangements have been made. Most guests will find it necessary
to overnight in Anchorage before continuing on to Cold Bay.
Guests will return to Anchorage on the following Sunday.
The cost for fly-out
trips is $4,750.00 per person per week at the Cold Bay Lodge.
Fully guided non fly-out trips are $3,750.00 per person. All
meals, lodging and guiding services are included in the price
after arrival at the lodge except for Alaska fishing licenses,
which are available on site, and gratuities.
A deposit of fifty percent
(50%) is required at the time of booking to confirm and hold
space. We will provisionally hold space for 10 days from the
date of booking until deposits are received. Thereafter, we
may cancel bookings that are not confirmed by deposit. Deposits
and other payments are not refundable. However, guests may
transfer deposits or other payments to another person using
the same space of the fishing week booked. Further, deposits
may be transferred to a future year, provided such request
is made by April 1. A final payment of fifty percent (50%)
is due 60 days prior to the beginning of the trip. We are
happy to discuss the reasons for these policy with any guest
who wishes to have additional information.
The Lodge offers a full
daily menu starting with a hot breakfast. It varies from day
to day but usually includes eggs, bacon, cereal, hot cakes,
toast, juice and fresh fruit. Full course meals are served
each evening and usually consist of prime rib, New York steak,
turkey or similar items.
A variety of snacks are
available at any time throughout the day and evening. If requested,
the catch of the day is always on the menu for any meal. Special
menus to meet dietary needs can be arranged, provided we have
sufficient advance notice.
Guests who prefer special
brand alcoholic beverages should provide their own supply.
