Bear viewing on Kodiak Island, Alaska

With the fall fast approaching the Kodiak Brown bears are filling up for their long hibernation.
To be able to survive an Alaskan winter it takes a large amount of fat reserve.
Now that the Raspberries are all gone and the Pinks and Chums are just about at their end , the bears are chasing Cohos up and down the stream banks.
We have been catching good bright Cohos trolling in the bay and now is a good time to get your fly rod and make a few casts in the streams.
We offer both opportunities here at Kodiak Adventures Lodge.
A fall trip trolling for Salmon , jigging for Halibut and a little flyfishing as well on Kodiak is a great way to wrap up your fishing season. Contact us to book your trip to Kodiak.

Fishing on Kodiak Island

Early September was another good week for fishing with lots of Black rockfish and Halibut taken. Even a few king Salmon were caught trolling in the bay.
While stream fishing is still good for Pinks and Chums which have been here since the end of July , we are starting to see some Cohos come into the mouth and getting ready to spawn.
This is a good time to get out the fly rod and make a few casts for Cohos and Dollies.

Whale watching and bear veiwing are at its peak. The Humpbacks are slowly getting ready to leave for their wintering grounds in Califoria and Hawaii and are feeding and on the move. The bears are filling the bellies and also getting ready for the long winter.

Check out the Kodiak Brown Bears.

 

With the summer well underway and the creeks full of salmon, late August and September is a great time for bear viewing.  This beautiful brown bear was fishing when we surprised him.  He stood and checked us out long enough for some good photographs.  We saw two other bears while fishing for Pinks, Chums, and Silvers.  Being September the sun was slow to rise over the mountains.  It turned out to be a beautiful day, and a great day for stream fishing.  Two CEOs from Kalypso.com spent most of the day spincasting for salmon, watching for brown bears and learning about the life cycle of salmon from their guides, Larry and Sam.

Going green with hydro elecric

Kodiak Adventures Lodges is proud to announce that we are currently producing approx. 2/3 of our power use by hydro electric instead of generator power. As of July 7th when we officially "flipped the switch" we have been saving fuel and the environment.
Two of the side benefits have been that we have power 24 hours a day now and it is a lot quieter around here.

We did all the install ourselves and with the boys help were able to learn as we went.
The hydro unit is from New Zealand. You can see the unit in action at www.powerspout.com
During the winter it will supply 100% of our power and will be an even bigger savings .
It is operating at 60psi and is using 20gal. per minute of water coming from a sping above the lodge which flows all year.
Along with the new siding it gives the lodge a whole new face.!!!!
