DRIFTWOOD WILDERNESS LODGE
Larsen Bay, Alaska
DRIFTWOOD WILDERNESS LODGE
Proprietor Nick Blanco built this lodge the hard way – by harvesting enormous logs that washed up on local beaches near Larsen Bay, Alaska, and using a portable saw mill to generate lumber for the lodge. Nick has fished all over Alaska for the past 10 years and in the Kodiak area for the past five years. He captains a comfortable boat named The True North , and his number-one goal when he wakes up in the morning is to ensure his guests catch the fish they came for.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE OUTFITTER
- Driftwood Wilderness Lodge is located on a secluded lagoon with views of Uyak Bay, which is 60 miles southwest of the city of Kodiak.
- Larsen Bay is surrounded by Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, a 2,812-square-mile preserve that covers most of Kodiak Island.
- The refuge offers rugged mountains and alpine meadows, wetlands, and spruce forests.
- Wildlife viewing is excellent there, and it is home to the giant Kodiak brown bear and more than 200 different species and 600 breeding pairs of bald eagles.
- Marine life includes seals, sea lions, porpoises, sea otters, whales and puffins. There are no roads, and no maintained trails, so the best way to view wildlife is by chartered boat or plane.
- Fishing is the main interest of most visitors to Larsen Bay. The area features protected bays and inlets near the village or the open ocean for salmon, halibut, lingcod and rockfish.
- DWL is a boat ride away from stream fishing for salmon, steelhead and Dolly Varden.
- Guests enjoy trips to the Karluk River, which is world famous for its sockeye salmon and king salmon runs.
