The Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge ensures professional management of this unique island located 250 miles southwest of Anchorage. Kodiak is the second largest island in Alaska and is home to over 4,000 brown bears (the world’s largest bears) Ursus Arctos Middendorffi a subspecies of the brown bear. These huge bears get on with their lives of surviving, minding their own business and feeding on the rich supply of grasses, seasonal berries and salmon.
Fully guided by experienced professionals you have a unique opportunity to view amazing wildlife and enjoy great fly fishing. Pink runs are prolific along with Chum, Sockeye and Coho. Salmon runs are seasonal from summer through into autumn and the Coho runs can vary in numbers from year to year. 2024 was a slow year for Coho Salmon throughout Alaska but 2025 hopefully will experience a bounce back.
All our accommodation/guided fishing packages require 1 night in Anchorage and 1 night in Kodiak City outbound and the same inbound. That adds 4 nights to your wilderness camp package which is generally 6 or 7 nights. Extended stays are possible.
Dicks Camp, Little River.
Accessible only by helicopter. An unique location with total wilderness isolation just a few miles further down the west coast of Kodiak Island. Dick Rohrer is the owner guide at this stunningly located setting with magnificent views over the Little River, sea pool and the Shelikof Straight with views to the mainland of Alaska. Kodiak bears are occasionally seen strolling along the beach, grazing in the opposite “meadow” and hunting salmon in Little River. A small group of sea lions patrol the waters just off the Little River outflow, waiting for the salmon to run.
Fly fishing here is excellent for the September Coho runs plus occasional steelhead (sea run rainbows from 4 to 8 pounds). Lots of pinks run Little River in addition to sockeye and chum salmon. Mid-September onwards is prime time for the bigger Coho. Most of the fly fishing takes place in the tidal lagoon just before the Little River meanders down into the ocean. Every incoming tide brings in more and more fresh silver fish.
Streamer and surface action flies produce great action. Accommodation is in the main comfortable cabin at the top of the hill overlooking the river/lagoon. It’s warm and this is also where you eat. Dick has a small cabin adjacent.
Our Kodiak Wilderness camps are exactly that. Toilets are “long drop dunnies” dug out each season. No flush toilets here as its back to basics. Toilet paper is supplied and you have great views! Take bio degradable wet wipes with you as there are no showers. This is true outdoor wilderness living.
Access into this camp is only by helicopter from Kodiak City and therefore exclusivity of the area is guaranteed.
