No Place Like Nome

This all-inclusive women fishing trip is A-MAZ-ING!  Our lodge destination is 80 miles east of Nome on the Niukluk River.  Here we fish for Arctic Grayling, the sailfish of the north.  These waters are teaming with fish including the state record Grayling fish!  Our host Tom Gray knows the river well - from where to fish to which flies (and techniques) work best.  We use his power boat to move to trophy-class fishing locations up and down the Niukluk.  His lodge offers two-person cabins, ensuring privacy and comfort for all guests.  Breakfast and dinner will be at the lodge and lunch will be enjoyed along the picturesque banks of the river.

Expect your arms to grow weary from reeling so many fish each day.  Additionally, we will delve into the art of tying pike flies to prepare for a morning pursuing the monstrous fish in a nearby slough.  

Nestled in the heart of remote northern Alaska, the Niukluk River, with its easy wade and crystal-clear waters, offers an idyllic setting for this unique adventure. From beginners to advanced fly fishers, everyone will experience ultimate fishing in Alaska. There is No Place Like Nome!!

Women Only on this trip!
