Overview of Alaska Fishing Tent Camp - Sitka

This is arguably the finest personalized small fully staffed remote Alaska fishing tent camp you will find!  The people are amazing and have been fishing these waters for many years.  They have a unique forestry permit that allows them to set up camp each year for a select few guests and then at the end of each season, the camp sight is restored exactly as it was at the beginning of the season.  This is one of our personal favorite experiences in the world.  Unplug, enjoy the sounds of the whales outside your tent as they pass by in the bay.  Each day, you will select your activities for the day with your private staff.  Meals are a treat as they are all prepared in a tent camp style setting but with the freshest of ingredients.  You will be treated to fresh seafood, prime rib, delicious vegetables and of course dutch oven breads and desserts.Alaska Fishing Tent Camp

You’ll be flown by float plane to an isolated Alaska fishing tent camp at Kelp Bay, which is nested under a canopy of giant, ancient spruce and hemlock forest. Enjoy the personal attention of one of the licensed crew. They provide one guide and boat for every two guests.

  • Each day opportunities abound, in every direction.

  • Experience both fresh and salt water fishing.

  • Fish the 5 species of Pacific Salmon – Wrestle a Monster Halibut.

  • Hike in plush green rain forests View the majestic whales and bears.

  • Flyfish one of our world class streams for trout and salmon.

  • Pull crab pots full of Dungeness Crab.

  • Observe Bald Eagles soaring above.

  • Beachcomb for treasures & dig for clams

At the wilderness camp in Kelp Bay you get to experience nature at its most pristine. Nestled in the old growth forest, sitting right on the fishery, going to sleep at night listening to the whales in the bay, a bonding experience not to be missed.

Fishing

The unpressured waters around the lodge offer the most abundant and diverse salt and freshwater fishing available in Alaska. You may choose your fishing experience each day, from freshwater to saltwater, stream to lake, light tackle spinning to flies. The available species include king salmon (chinook), silver salmon (coho), pink salmon (humpy), chum salmon, sockeye salmon, Dolly Varden, cutthroat trout and rainbow trout, giant halibut and many varieties of sea bass or rock fish. Dozens of spectacular bays, estuaries, fishing streams and lakes are within a short boat ride or hike from the lodge. Each offers premier angling. Whether it is salt or freshwater stream fishing, hiking, up close and personal whale watching, photography, pulling crab or shrimp pots, clamming, climbing water falls, beach combing or kayaking, your experienced professional crew will guide you on an adventure you won’t forget.
