What separates this lodge from all others is the fleet of small planes the lodge uses to fly their guests in each day to private, secluded fishing spots in the Alaskan wilderness where they can catch rainbow trout, northern pike, halibut, grayling, arctic char, lake trout, and salmon.

If the weather is unsafe for flying, there are also rafting options available. The lodge guides, all knowledgeable experts and long-time hosts at the lodge will float you to your own private fishing nirvana.

Another exceptional offering at the lodge is the top quality chef at the lodge who offers 5-star manly cuisine each night. Guests have two entrees to choose from including items like filet mignon and king crab legs to rejuvenate guests after reeling in a 60 pound King Salmon.

This is most definitely a big boys club and the majority of the guests are Texans that love smoking big cigars at the end of the night. They help keep the Alaskan "moose-quitos" away.

Luxury means different things to different people and for the fisherman that has it all at home, roughing it at a lodge for a week and fishing some of the world's most pristine spots alone in the wilderness is the ultimate in bragging rights.

Also telling people you spent $7,500 a week to go fishing might peak some curiosity. But good luck getting a reservation, we hear they're booked through 2009.
