For years guests have encouraged us to prepare a combination Fishing and Hunting trip, combining the Alaskan Fishing and Alaskan Hunting worlds. We have remained hesitant as the two optimal time periods for each, Summer being best for fishing, and Fall being best for Hunting, barely overlap.
After a lot of research (which was a lot of fun) we’ve decided to offer the last two weeks of September as a Fish Hunt Combo package. During this time we will offer fully guided fishing for Halibut, Rockfish, Cod, and Tanner (Snow) Crab in the salt, Silver Salmon and Steelhead in fresh water, and unguided hunting for Sitka Black Tailed Deer in the mountains.
As specialized weeks focusing on this exact timeframe overlap, we will fix the arrival and departure of each week ahead of schedule; with less flexibility than we do throughout the rest of our seasons. Please check with us if you’re interested in the trip and to find out when the two weeks will start!
Standard in each package:
- Round trip transportation by boat or a local sea plane charter to Kodiak Raspberry Island Remote Lodge from the Kodiak City Airport.
- A beautiful location in the remote wilderness surrounded by ocean and 2,000 foot mountains with amazing views of the surrounding flora and fauna, where bear, deer, elk and ducks have all been spotted from within the lodge.
- All lodging in heated, private guest cabins with beautiful views, complete bathroom, comfortable mattresses, fresh flannel sheets, and down comforters.

- Twenty-four hour hydroelectric generated electricity, backed up by a quiet diesel generator, only if needed.
