This fishing lodge was great!

They took care of all of our needs. Food was 5-star, rooms were nice with bathroom attached. Our Alaska fishing guide knew where to take us to get into the best salmon fishing. The halibut and black bass fishing was great, and our guide was super patient in teaching us proper fishing techniques. Fish was well processed, packaged for shipping, and ready when we were to depart.

They organized the private plane to take us Old Harbor.

Weather wouldn’t allow for the flight out to take place as scheduled, but once things cleared we were on our way early the next morning always keeping us informed of conditions and timing. We had a great time.

  • Overall, my fishing trip was a great Alaska experience. They were well organized and had answers for any questions and communicated well pre-trip.
  • My guide was good.
  • Physically, the trip was easy.

There's a reason I keep booking this steelhead fishing trip!
Second time I’ve done this particular trip. The steelhead run was awesome! The food was even better than the first time, which is hard to imagine, and our guide is the best there is! If catching big fish is your thing I highly recommend booking through Outdoors International.

We had an incredible time fishing in Mexico. We've already booked our next trip and can't wait to go back!

Greg Pope with a Strobel Lake rainbow trout.

I expected big trout on this trip based on all the stories I've read over the years, and I was not disappointed! I broke my own personal best rainbow trout record at least SIX times on this trip, with the biggest being a 16 pound beauty.

I will be going again soon!
