Upon arrival, you will be picked up in a four-door silver Ford pickup by your guide Rick Matney. Following the 10 minute drive to the lodge, you will be shown to your rooms. If you have not yet purchased your fishing license, you will be driven into town to do so. In the afternoon, guests will be taken out on the boat, the Chrome Chaser, to put out crab and shrimp pots for your week of harvest.

On Saturday morning, we will split up and pack your frozen seafood in insulated boxes for you trip home. You will need to declare the contents of the box at the airport. If you have an afternoon departure flight time, we may be able to fish near Wrangell before your flight.

Travel Details
