Weather During Alaska fishing
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 Alaska Adventures fly fishing
guides schools Fishing Program:
The goal at Alaska Adventures
fishing guide school is to take advantage of the many fishing 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, Lodge staff will confer with you to see what kind of experience you are up for. The
instructor guides will then get the necessary gear put together in the tackle 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 to take you up and down the river to fish from or get you to different gravel bars for wading. Because of a short growing season, all native species must be released, no exceptions. With the advent of
reproduction mounting techniques, there is no reason to keep trophy fish. If you are interested in taking back some salmon, your guide will fillet or steak them,
and pack them in suitable portions and freeze them. Upon your departure your catch will be put into an airline-approved waxed fish box for the trip home.
We understands you come up here to fish, so on those nasty weather days we
still fish (because of our location we are usually within a 10 minute 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-Fishing Activities at Alaska
Trophy Adventures Lodge:
For the non-fishing companion,
probably the highlight
of any Alaskan trip is to view the bears. Your 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
floating down the river viewing Bears, Moose, Eagles and nesting
Osprey along the river also we have a horseshoe pit and a sauna.
Alagnak Lodge River access includes 3 of the top Rainbow Trout rivers in Katmai Park The
Alagnak, Kukaklek and Nonvianuk river and lake systems. Our main
lodge is located 6 mile downstream from the confluence of the three
rivers this gives us excellent access without having to do fly-outs
as we specialize in daily Jet boat fishing . Many days we are
fishing within site of the main lodge as this area of the upper
Braids holds World class Rainbows all season. With the addition of
our new Inboard jet boat we can offer daily and overnight trips to Kukaklek or
Nonvianuk lake outlets and local tributaries to include Little
Kukaklek-Morraine Creek and Battle River.

Trip Cancellation and Travel Insurance Recommendation:
Our Real ALaska fishing guide
school will certainly offer you an exciting and rewarding experience. Unfortunately, however, one undertaking such an angling adventure must face the possibility that you or your fishing companion might be forced to cancel your
school at the last moment due to illness, injury or other emergency or sustain an unfortunate injury and require medical services or worse, medical evacuation during your trip. Trip cancellation and travel insurance can help protect you and your travel companions from these unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances. We will send you the application forms from Travelguard
as it is mandatory insurance for all our wilderness schools in Alaska. a major, reliable insurer of traveling anglers
and students. Typically, the cost of an extensive program is less than
$200 of coverage. It is wise to always consult with your personal health insurance provider before undertaking any type of travel to determine what is covered in the event of injury or illness during your travels.

schools in Alaska or North Carolina,
