Driftwood Wilderness Lodge is located on a secluded lagoon on Kodiak Island with breathtaking views of Uyak Bay. The lodge sits not far from small village of Larsen Bay which is home to about 100 year around residents. At Driftwood Wilderness Lodge you're able to create your own adventure in the wonders of the wilderness...in addition to incredible saltwater & freshwater fishing you can also choose to experience Kodiak hunting, wildlife viewing, nature photography, hiking & more!

Larsen Bay is a truly amazing place that’s surrounded by Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, a whopping 2,812 square mile preserve that engulfs most of Kodiak Island. The refuge features rugged mountains highlighted by alpine meadows, abundant wetlands, and long-lasting spruce forests. Kodiak Island wildlife viewing is endless and we have plenty of Kodiak Brown Bears and hundreds of different species that call this island home. Kodiak Island also is home to 600 breeding pairs of bald eagles and on the water our guests will spot seals, sea lions, sea otters, porpoises, puffins, and whales. Take time to come enjoy the beauty of Kodiak Island, where the only noise is the occasional bush plane.

Fishing with Driftwood Wilderness Lodge

If you’re looking for an amazing Kodiak fishing charter, you’ve found the right company. Most guests of Driftwood Wilerness Lodge choose saltwater fishing charters that target salmon & halibut...and you don't have to venture too far the lodge features protected bays and inlets that are close to the village. If you’re looking to go fishing for salmon, halibut, lingcod, and rockfish in a remote & beautiful Alaska setting this is the place for you. If you're looking for freshwater fishing they're also a short boat ride away from stream fishing for salmon, steelhead, and Dolly Varden....guests can also take a trip the Karluk River, which is world famous for its sockeye salmon and king salmon runs during the summer months.

Staying with Driftwood Wilderness Lodge

Enjoy the beauty of Kodiak Island without worrying about equipment, meals, or lodging because they got all that covered. All you have to do is relax and work with Captain Nick to plan out your incredible adventure. When staying with Driftwood Wilderness Lodge you have two options. You can choose to stay at their Wilderness Camp which is a 1,500 sq ft hand built cabin on the shores of Uyak Bay. The camp was hand built by Nick and volunteers...all wood was salvaged from the sea and milled onsite and the construction was featured on the DIY Network’s program Building Alaska! The camp is rustic but Nick says that's what makes it so special.

For those guests looking for more modern amenities they also have a lodge situated in the village of Larsen Bay just steps from Humpy Creek. This newer location offers 4 guest bedrooms, two bathrooms and has all the conveniences of home, including a washer and dryer. Larsen Bay is home to about 100 year round residents and during the summer months, when the local cannery is open for business, the population of Larsen Bay jumps to 300, and the local store is open for business. They have all the personal items you may wish for and ice cream! Larsen Bay is a truly amazing place that’s surrounded by Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, a whopping 2,812 square mile preserve that engulfs most of Kodiak Island.

Avery- I would like to thank Captain Nick for a wonderful and rewarding experience at Driftwood lodge. We (4 guys) whom had never been to Alaska before were shown a great time fishing. We caught our limit of halibut, salmon, and rock fish. I had told Captain Nick we were on a freezer filling mission. He did not disappoint. We brought back with us almost 700 lbs of fillets. Great fun! Chef Bear kept us fed with delicious meals, including fresh catch of the day. I would recommend Driftwood Wilderness Lodge to anyone who wants to catch lots of fish in a secluded location.

We had a fantastic and productive time fishing with Nick. Having never fished with an outfitter before where we stayed at their lodge, this was a great experience. We caught about 100 lbs per person! Everything was safe and clean and everybody was helpful and engaging. Will definitely use Driftwood Lodge again!

Trip of a lifetime if you are looking for an Alaskan Fishing and Hunting adventure? Larsen Bay is a remote area on Kodiak Island full of history and scenic wildlife? I brought Nick and the Howard clan 4 sunny Kona weather days adding to the Beauty of the area to be enjoyed? Fishing was non stop action until you couldn?t reel anymore.:: Hunting we harvested two Sitka Blacktail Bucks? Nicks awesome boat and fishing guide awareness took you anywhere you wanted to go? Bear ? Nicks master chef cooked nothing but winter hearty delicious meals giving you the fuel needed to play all day in the wild. Bears interesting life stories added to the the mystique of living off the grid? Know what you want to do because it?s your trip and they are there to support your requests? Don?t be shy to ask and they will do their best to make it happen? Enjoy ? Ohh and be sure to ask Nick if you can bring him any supplies for the lodge as there are no stores in Larsen Bay and there is always something they need at Ace Hardware. Pack smart and have fun living the dream? Life is short?

If you want a laidback, rustic, fun fishing (or hunting!) experience, Driftwood Wilderness is the best! Food is hearty and delicious, rooms are comfortable and the location is spot on perfect! Nick is a great guide and knows what you need to get on fish. Bear slays it in the kitchen- everything is delicious. Sara and Daisy are the best homestead pets. Just the best place to be in Larsen Bay, Alaska!,

Had a great time! If you want to catch fish, enjoy beautiful surroundings, and be away from the crowds, this is the place to be. Nick is one of the finest lodge owners/captains/guides with whom I've ever had the pleasure of fishing. (And I've been to many lodges in Alaska). I also watched Nick have infinite patience with all his clients especially those who were new to fishing - all ages. I also enjoyed getting to know Bear, the chef & a very interesting person, and who provided delicious meals. I look forward to returning. Thank you, Nick & Bear!
