The remote riverside camp location is enhanced by regular sightings of wildlife and great homewater pools for extended fishing after dinner each night. Over the years, the Edgorf’s have built a reputation for operating as one of the finest wilderness tent camps in Alaska: a program and a fishing offering that is often referred to as “the real Alaska experience.” The remote camp has all the basic essentials for a comfortable Alaskan stay, including a full kitchen and dining area, showers, privy latrines, and comfortable tented guest quarters. Sleeping arrangements are two guests per 8’ x 10’ Weatherport tent, all of which feature mattresses on sleeping cots and electrical outlets. Sleeping bags are provided, along with clean linens, pillows, washcloths and towels.

And since the coast of Southeast Alaska is home to a thousand islands, very few roads, and more than 300 rivers and streams, this is a part of Alaska that is definitely best explored by sea. This mobile fishing platform gives you the opportunity to leave behind crowded fishing grounds as you embark on a five day live-aboard excursion. The Adventurous provides access to remote and untouched fishing opportunities for all five species of salmon, halibut, a plethora of bottom fish species, and – most importantly – strong numbers of trophy steelhead each spring. The ship features three staterooms (each with double beds), a main salon, and a full kitchen. With all of the required amenities, a professional crew, and gourmet meals, this is a great option for small groups of up to six anglers. 5 night / 5 fishing day packages are $4,250.00 per person.
