Have you ever dreamed of spending a few days in the Alaskan wilderness

When we first set out to create Talon Lodge, we made a list of everything it would taketo give our guests the ultimate Alaskan fishing experience. We started with three"absolutes": Experienced guides who have the inside track on the best fishing spots in

Alaska’s legendary Inside Passage, exceptionally comfortable accommodations, and outstandingcuisine. And then we added a fourth item — a level of service so extraordinary that it would makeyour stay with us truly unforgettable.

Here at Talon Lodge, we understand that when you’re choosing a destination for your Alaskanfishing adventure, you want to get it right. The first time. You’ll find that Talon Lodge is a placewhere the fishing is legendary and the gourmet meals are only exceeded by the awe-inspiring viewsof the Alaskan wilderness. It’s a place where you can kick back in a comfortable lodge to trade thebest fishing stories of the day, followed by some of the most restful sleep you’ve had in months.

If you’ve ever dreamed of spending a few days in the Alaskan wilderness where the only item onyour agenda is great fishing in Alaska’s most spectacular setting, here’s your chance. Welcome toTalon Lodge.

Sincerely,
