As the summer wraps up here at Northwoods Lodge, we can’t help but look back on our season and reminisce some of the best memories our guests created with us. Like most Alaska fishing lodges, we have had numerous incredible trips out on the water and are reluctant to put our gear away for the winter. From families taking their children out for their first Alaskan fishing adventure to monster catches, we could not have asked for a better season or better people to share it with.
Late Season Casting
Our late season guests are casting out their lines for those chum salmon, northern pikes, arctic graylings, and beautiful rainbow trout. Taking every opportunity to rig up their fly rod and toss their lines into the drink. With such a perfect location and waters that host exciting fish that love to put up a challenge for anglers, it is easy to see why so many want to spend as much time as possible wading out into the waves. The time of winterizing our gear is approaching, but that doesn’t mean we are throwing in the hat for the current season just yet!
Season Highlights
This season has been packed with incredible memories made, a few exciting upgrades to our lodge, and of course some of the best fishing yet! Earlier in the season, we spruced up our picnic tables with a stunning new paint job. We also added a few custom benches for our guests to enjoy around a firepit made by one of our own family members using material from the Alaska pipeline. We had new anglers 
come out to learn the ropes, and longtime guests celebrate another year with us. Smiles shined bright, and laughter was had by visitors and staff alike all summer long. The king salmon were splashing in the waters right by our lodge in June just tempting our anglers to get out for a chance to reel one in, and colorful rainbows made a youngster’s day as his very first catch. Great food, fantastic fishing, and incredible guests have all made this season another one for the books!
A Thank You To Our Incredible Guests!
Winter may be setting in, but we are holding onto the last of summer with warm memories of everyone that chose Northwoods Lodge this year in their search for Alaska fishing lodges. Our staff is already planning for an even better year next season. So keep us in mind again and create new traditions with us. When it comes to Alaska fishing lodges, Northwoods strives to give each and every guest the best fishing trip possible, and we hope you visit us in the upcoming year for yet another spectacular season of fishing adventures!
