Zachar Bay Lodge - Kodiak, Alaska

Flyer829290

We enjoyed 4 days at Zachar Bay Lodge and it was the fishing trip of a lifetime. I went with my two adult sons and my oldest friend and the experience could not have been better. We spent two days on the bay fishing for halibut and cod and two on the Zachar River going after silver salmon. Each day we caught our limit and were catch and release for half of the time. Fishing for silvers on the Zachar has ruined us for other river fishing.|Andy and the gang were personable and helpful, going out of their way to make our stay the best it could be. The Lodge is isolated, but very well maintained. The food was excellent...I hadn't counted on the 10 pounds that I gained on the trip.|If you want a singularly great and unique Alaska fishing experience, you can't do better. We're already planning on the next trip.

Great experience. Great food, comfy lodge and nice rooms. All the people were very nice and looked out for your every need. The fishing was as good as it could be. Lots of wildlife sighting as you fish. Humpback whales, Orcas, Porpoises, Sea Otters, & Puffins.

Staying at Zachar Bay was nothing short of incredible! Waking up to home cooked breakfast by the host family while overlooking the Pacific was breathtaking. Andy and his family were incredibly accommodating and made everyday a new adventure.
We enjoyed boating, fishing for halibut, cod and salmon/trout fishing along the river. If you’re lucky, you may even spot a Kodiak Bear. An often overlooked part of the trip was the seaplane to and from the lodge! Look in any direction from above and see Fin Whales in the ocean or mountain goats scrambling up the nearby cliffs.
Finally, I would strongly recommend hiking the mountain surrounding the property. Challenging terrain but the Eaton family members are experienced climbers.
This was really the trip of a lifetime!

Our family of five (my husband, two adult children, one child’s partner and me) had a fantastic trip to Zachar Bay Lodge in August 2024. It was like going to a comfortable summer camp again. Each of us LOVED it.

We felt welcomed into the Eaton family immediately and enjoyed spending time with each family member. The brother of the owner flew us to the camp and they did back flips to get us there in spite of the weather.

The scenery is incredible. We have travelled a lot and have never been to a more stunningly beautiful place.

We spent most of our time in the boat halibut fishing. We had a great time fishing. Caught lots of yummy halibut which they packed up for us to take home (all nicely filleted). We saw lots of wildlife including whales, otters, bears, and a wide variety of birds.

We had our own cabin with four bedrooms and two baths. It had plenty of hot water and the beds were comfortable (important to me since I have back problems).

The place was fascinating. Very remote on a gorgeous bay. The camp is built around an old abandoned fish cannery. Lots of photo ops between the scenery, wildlife, and the cannery.
