Fish the Tongass National Forest aboard a 24-foot skiff with a licensed guide such as James, Kate, David, or Tim. Your catch becomes lunch in a remote camp: saffron fish stew, sourdough with garlic aioli, rhubarb-blueberry crisp, and hot drinks.

“Great experience! Good for kids of all ages. They take you to to areas where they know you’ll catch smaller rockfish for the meal. When we caught several of those our guide gave us the option to keep doing that or head out for bigger fish. We chose the latter and caught 4 halibut. The meal was fantastic”
