The Fishing

What you can expect on your remote Alaska Peninsula fly fishing adventure with us:

• Productive fishing directly in front of camp
• Diverse and unique types of waters to fish
  • Stalking fish on a tidal flat
  • Chasing pods of fish down a sandy beach
  • Light-weight action up no-name small streams and rivers
  • Take a break from the above, if you want, for bay fishing
• Superior quality and prolific populations of Alaska sportfish
  • Silver salmon
  • Chum salmon
  • Pink Salmon
  • Sea-run Dolly Varden
  • Halibut
  • Other species
• Only 1/4 mile from the salt water means hard hitting, ocean-fresh salmon
• Top water action (“wogging”) for silver, chum and pink salmon
• Helicopter fly-out fishing to access even more remote areas

You won’t fish near fishermen from another Alaska fly fishing lodge your entire week!

The chart to the right shows the prime times for the various species listed above.

Although most anglers initially come to SAFARI camp for our chrome-bright, fresh from the ocean Alaska salmon fishing, many come back for the phenomenal sea-run dolly varden fishing… and a few will even try for halibut on a fly.

Want to experience a different remote Alaska fly fishing trip instead? Check out our early season, rustic Alaska Wilderness OUTPOST camp.

Just when you think the week cannot get any better, at the end of the week we fly out in a meticulously maintained Bell Jet Ranger III helicopter to access other areas of the Alaska Peninsula rarely seen by human eyes! We have 6 or 7 different helicopter fly-out destinations, depending on the time of season, and each is uniquely different than the rest.

Without question, the helicopter fly-out fishing will be some of the most exciting moments of your life! We’ll fly past heart-throbbing Alaska Peninsula scenery and may access remote coastlines, nameless streams, hike into secret lakes, and during the silver run we will fish Yantarni Bay, Alaska, well known for it’s incredibly prolific run of silver salmon.

Currently we are the only fishing operation on the Peninsula offering helicopter fly-outs standard every week, and with its distinguished reputation as one of the safest flying aircraft of any kind, this helicopter experience offers a “fly-out” piece of mind unequaled.

As of 2010, 1 day of helicopter fly-out fishing is standard with our weekly price, but you have the option to “upgrade” and add additional helicopter fly-out days. Advance notice is required; inquire for more details.
