You'll hunt from a comfortable lodge in a remote region of Wood-Stikchik State Park in southwestern Alaska. This area is mountainous and spectacular.

Hunter success on this hunt has averaged 75 percent over the past 15 years. You may also enjoy world class fishing for rainbow trout and Arctic char right out your front door.

This hunt is a good choice for bowhunters because the salmon draw bears to specific locations.

The outfitter runs a high class flyfishing operation out of this lodge during the summer, so he and his guides are well aware of the best areas to find bears as well as spawning salmon upon which the bears feed.
