Alaska Adventure Reviews
Alaska Hunting Gallery
"Stephan is a premier fishing lodge that offers fantastic fishing for a variety of species...it's a fly fisher's dream; you sight-cast to 30-50 pound king salmon finning lazily in the current. I've caught as many  as 75 to 100 trout a day."
- Fishing the Northcountry
Our guarantee to each individual hunter is to do everything possible to make your hunt successful, comfortable, and enjoyable.

HUNTERS SHOULD REMEMBER:

- Baggage is limited to 125 pounds per person. Duffel bags and packs without frames work best.
- Small boxes, soft sided bags and coolers are easier to load onto the plane than one large, bulky item such as an ice chest.
- Use plastic bags to protect gear as needed.
- We recommend that half your food be freeze dried. This will help you stay within the floatplane weight limitations.
- Please bring soft gun cases. Hard cases may be stored at the lodge while you are out in the field.
- Pack flammables and unloaded firearms separately from other gear.
- Please note: as a safety precaution, these items must be declared and are subject to inspection.
- Meat should be hung in game bags.
- Coordinate with companions to avoid duplication of items.
- Carry sleeping bags separately.
- Help us keep Alaska beautiful! Please bag unburnable refuse for transport back to Anchorage.
