Daily
Camp Schedule
Our generator gets turned on at 6:30am a
typical day consist's of waking up around 7am and being greeted at
your door by a smiling hostess with a hot beverage or Juice of
your choice, after waking up and meandering over to the dining room
around 7:30 and sitting down to a home cooked hot breakfast of
freshly made Belgian waffles topped with whip cream and strawberries
with a side of reindeer sausage, for the more healthy minded guest's
we offer each morning full grain cereals, Oatmeal and bagels and a
fruit tray set out in the dining room. You also have the option too
sleep in as you are on vacation and there is no rushing around here
and no crowded fishing to rush off to.and breakfast is at 7:30.
During or after breakfast lunch supplies will be brought out for you
to make your all you can eat deli lunch the way you would like it.
The guides will be at the boats waiting at 8:00am for your day of
fishing to begin. Once you get on the boats they will give you a 5
minute safety speech and explain to you what you should expect
during the day and how long of a boat ride it is till the start of
fishing (usually not long at all!!). You will fish all morning then
normally stop around 12pm for a half hour lunch break and rest from
all the great fishing action. You will return back to camp at
5:00pm unless otherwise stated. This is a good time to take showers
or clean up before dinner. After dinner feel free to fish in front
of camp or just relax. This will be the routine for the next week.
Generator will be turned off around 10:00 pm depending on nightly
activities.
Departing Camp
Day of departure, we ask that you get up
and have your stuff packed and out of the cabins by *
9:00am. Clients often pack the night before departure and
set out clothes for the next day. This will make it much easier for
staff to clean and get ready for the next week’s group. If the
weather is variable make sure to be dressed appropriately for the 30
minute shuttle rides down river to an awaiting float plane that will
bring you back to King Salmon Airport to catch your afternoon flight
home. Envelopes will be supplied to each guest to place staff
gratuities and customer satisfaction survey forms in. Before you
depart please leave with the lodge manager. All gratuities are split
evenly between all staff members from the kitchen staff to the
guides. |
Relax in Alaska Style No Stress !!
Think of your daily schedule now. It probably
consists of things like fighting traffic on your daily commute to
work, cell phone calls, crowded hurried lunches, and a semi stressed
life. On your daily commute while staying on the Alagnak River at
our lodge you will probably see more bears than humans, there is no
chance for any cell phone calls because there is no service within
250 miles (but we do have satellite wireless internet), lunch
consists of a shore lunch of fresh caught salmon or deli style
packed lunches, and the only stress that you will have is on your
rod hand and the graphite on your bent fishing rod.
We understand that you are on vacation and our
number one goal is that you are having safe and enjoyable stay at
the lodge. Below is a description of a typical day while visiting
Katmai park.
When You Arrive Get On Alaska Time
!!
When you arrive in camp you will be met by a
hostess and taken to the dinning room to have a hot lunch. At this
time a meeting will be held to give direction on policies, safety,
schedule, and introduction to all staff members. Your bags will be
transferred to your private river front cabin as assigned by the
management staff.
Sundays are our change out days and there will
be no guiding on that day. There is fishing on your own right at
camp if you choose. We suggest that you focus on getting your gear
ready, picking the guides brains for patterns/strategies, knots, and
help rigging correct rods and reels for the following day. Casting
clinics and fly tying are available upon request.
On Sundays dinner will be around 5:00-5:30pm.
After dinner you may relax around the fire in the dining room or go
fishing in front of camp. By 9:00pm a schedule will be posted with
your guide for the following day.
If you have special dietary needs, sleeping
arrangements, or other requests that may effect the schedule please
make sure to let one of the staff know so we can take care of it.
