1 Join me and teammate Clifford Ray for an amazing trip to Alaska s Boardwalk Lodge a sportsman's paradise! Voted "Alaska Lodge of the Year" three times and the North America Lodge of the Year for 2010, this breathtaking oceanfront lodge offers the best of both worlds: exceptional saltwater and freshwater fishing. This world-class fishing lodge bears the elite Orvis endorsement demonstrating its exceptional fishing, facilities and commitment to excellence as one of the best fishing lodges in Alaska. Their Orvis endorsed guides lead daily freshwater excursions with your choice of 23 lakes, rivers and streams nearby. USCG certified skippers operate their fleet of 28-foot boats for saltwater adventures targeting Halibut, Chum Salmon, Silver Salmon, Pink Salmon, Dolly Varden and several other species. The lodge is located in the lush rainforest of Prince of Wales Island, just 35 minutes from Ketchikan in Southeast Alaska. At Boardwalk Lodge, it's not just about the fishing. The lodge staff works tirelessly to ensure your Alaska adventure will be most memorable.

2 Lodge guests receive first-class accommodations. There is a queen and twin bed in the double rooms. Guests dine on gourmet cuisine and choose from the surf and turf entrees each evening..above, a mouthwatering pork tenderloin with orange sauce and fresh string beans. Below, poached halibut on a bed of rice with snow peas. Breakfast is made to order. Enjoy pancakes, homemade cereals, and fresh breads and muffins often prepared with locally grown, fresh-picked, wild berries. High protein selections include omelets, eggs cooked to order, and a wide selection of breakfast meats and sausages. Beverages include gourmet coffees and teas, hot chocolate, a selection of juices, milk, and smoothies. You select your lunch and it is put on the boat or carried for you by your guide, along with drinks. Experience breathtaking views that exhibit Alaska's majesty.

5 Package is for a minimum of 6 guests (up to 16 guests) to join Rick and Clifford for 5 nights and 4 days of fishing. Prior to the trip, Rick will discuss the various fishing options available. The size of the group and the number of fishing days will impact the choices of fishing available. This is a wonderful opportunity for fellow hoopsters to spend quality time together in a spectacular environment, with some of the best fishing you will ever encounter. You will experience a trip that will forever be etched in your memory. You will need to have someone else join you because there are no single rooms. Lodging is two to a room. The owner of the lodge will make a donation to the NBRPA for each guest partaking in this trip. It is strongly suggested to make arrangements for a trip in 2013 as far in advance as is possible because the dates at the lodge get booked quickly and getting flights to Alaska in the summer can be difficult if they are not made months in advance.

6 These prices include lodging, all meals, soft drinks, beer and house wine, the flight to and from Ketchikan to the lodge, a fishing license for each attendee, a 50-pound box of filleted salmon, halibut or other fish to take home (if you fish for and catch those species), plus all gratuities. All fishing gear is supplied (anyone with exceptionally big feet or bigger than a XXXL might not be able to be accommodated), although, any guest may bring his/her own fishing gear. The only real necessities to bring are a good pair of polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, a bathing suit for the hot tub, fleece or long underwear for under waders and a waterproof Gore-tex, hooded fishing jacket, for freshwater fishing. Of course, a video and/or still camera is also highly recommended. A list of suggested clothing to bring will be sent to each attendee. Special requests for soft drinks, alcohol and any special dietary requirements are happily accepted. The lodge does not provide alcohol, but you can bring your own. Not included is the cost of round trip airfare from your home to Ketchikan. You must arrive into Ketchikan no later than 5 PM and we recommend that you do not schedule a flight out of Ketchikan before 12 PM in case of fog in the morning.
