Weather During Alaska hunting
guide school
Alaska weather can be
unpredictable. It is wise to dress in layers, preparing from temperatures ranging from
40 degrees to as high as 80 degrees. It also may mist or downpour, so a quality
rain suit is imperative on your trip to Alaska to keep you warm and protected from the elements.
Dining Out with Alaska Adventures
We
take this phrase to a whole new level. Casual attire is appropriate
as the standard dress code is polar fleece or jeans with your favorite
head-wear. The resident Chef, is a culinary magician her resume reads like
a who's who in world wide fine dining in the bush. Our
Appetizers
before dinner compliment the menu that
includes fresh steaks, grilled
halibut, baked Salmon, Grilled lemon pepper chicken, Italian or Mexican
night and my favorite Barbequed baby back ribs with alfredo & vegetable.
Most meals are
served family style with all you can eat being a standard table fare. Our
breakfast include wild blueberry pancakes, 3 egg ham-Cheese Omelets,
French toast, hot biscuits and gravy or fried eggs- bagels and bacon or
sausage. We always have Cold cereal fresh fruit/bagels and
lots of hot coffee & cold juices if you prefer a light
breakfast. It is amazing what mouth-watering surprises come forth
from this humble kitchen in the bush. Acclaimed restaurants in cities
around the world would be envious of our fresh grilled salmon and halibut
diners. And don't forget our home made bush desserts that include
cherry or
blueberry cheesecake, and new for 2004 death by chocolate and my favorite
hot fudge sundae.
Shore lunches are highly recommended by your guide during the week. Or if
you prefer the old standby packed lunch. In Short no one goes
hungry and most guest's put on weight during the week
The AAA Hunting Guide Schools:
The goal at AAA Hunting guide
schools is simple teach new guides the safest most ethical way to hunt
big game and take care of a client in the field. AAA Hunting guide
Schools take advantage of the many hunting opportunities for the various species while they are in their prime seasonal runs. To accomplish this, each day you will be
jet boated out to one of our 3 rivers accessible from the lodge, depending on the species that you are interested in. Each evening,
Instructors staff will confer with you to see what kind of training
you will be doing the next day. The
instructor guides will then get the necessary gear put together in the
supply room. The next morning, after breakfast, you'll board one of
our jetboats and head out with your instructor/guide (or to a spike camp with an
instructor/guide waiting) to one of the
3 world class, and in some cases world famous, rivers and streams of this region. Depending on the location
we will travel by jet boats or Bush plane to take you up and down the river to
practice your new learned hunting skills.
We understands you come up here to learn to guide , so on those nasty weather days we
still teach and work outdoors just as if you were on a real Guided trip. fish (because of our location we are usually within a
few minutes of good Char or grayling fishing. boat
ride to awesome trout and salmon fisheries close to the lodge so we can
come back for lunch if you prefer. Whether you have been to Alaska twenty times or this is your first time,
The Alagnak River will be an unforgettable experience of great fishing, unsurpassed comfort and most importantly - FUN!
Non-hunting Activities at AAA

For the non-fishing companion,
probably the highlight
of any Alaskan trip is to view the bears. Your Instructor/guide can drive you to
Kukaklek Falls in the Katmai National Park for the day it's a spectacular
sight. Optional glacier flight seeing tours can be arranged or a
flight to Brookes falls viewing platforms that connect the falls to the
lake along the famous Brooks River. The best time for viewing at the falls
is July through early August during the Sockeye Salmon run. There are many
bears along the river clear into September, which happens to be the time
for excellent Rainbow Trout fishing as well., A.T.A offers daily
combination rafting & photography trips if you want a relaxing day
