Classic Week
- ·Monday-to-Monday schedule
- ·Daily floatplane fly-outs
- ·All five salmon species in season

Daily guided fly-outs, private lodging, chef-prepared meals, and premium gear are fully included in our rate. Regional air charters from Anchorage are coordinated separately.
We operate on a strict Monday-to-Monday schedule (with a Sunday night stay in Anchorage). This ensures exclusive group coherence, tightly orchestrated flight logistics, and maximum hours spent on the water.
Fly into Ted Stevens International Airport (ANC). Overnight in Anchorage — book your hotel early, summer dates fill fast.
Check in with Lake Clark Air at 2:00 PM. Charter flight to Nondalton, then floatplane transfer direct to the lodge dock on Six Mile Lake. Welcome dinner and gear outfitting.
Early breakfast, floatplanes depart to prime river systems across the Bristol Bay watershed. Full days on the water with your guide. Shore lunch on the river, return to the lodge for appetizers, cocktails, and a multi-course dinner.
One last full day on the water targeting your priority species. Sunday evening features the signature lodge farewell dinner.
Floatplanes depart the lodge dock around 9:00 AM, connecting to your charter back to Anchorage by approximately 10:15 AM.

Lock down the entire lodge. We are maxed at 14 anglers, securing a week buyout grants you total operational control. Private dinners, customized flight manifests, and absolute exclusivity in the Alaskan wilderness.
Inquire About Buyouts
A heavily guarded secret in the Alaskan lodge industry is that many operations do not own their aircraft. They rely on third-party commercial charters, meaning guests are slapped with hidden $2,000+ flight invoices on arrival.
We own and operate five aircraft — three on floats, two on wheels. Our pilots are staff. Our planes are parked at our dock. Your package covers everything—no hidden commercial aviation fees, and no waiting for a delayed charter.
Swap a day of fishing for a high-intensity wildlife or sightseeing flight. These expeditions can be added to any week package.

Fly to the coast to watch 800lb brown bears fish for salmon.

Fly past jagged peaks and blue ice of the Aleutian Range.
