Sport Fishing
Zachar Bay Lodge offers freshwater and saltwater fishing trips to excite anglers of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re a veteran deep-sea angler, a seasoned fly-fishing purist, or a total novice, the lodge has plenty to offer you.

Boat skippers have decades of experience between them. They know the best locations and the best techniques for catching monster halibut. At Zachar Bay you’ll have the special privilege of fishing in calm, shallow waters not far from the lodge. That means more fishing time and less seasickness. It also means you can fight those monster fish on much lighter tackle. In the same waters you can also troll for bright, acrobatic silver salmon, as well as trophy king salmon.

Zachar Bay Lodge also offers fly-out fishing trips to remote, secluded lakes and streams where huge schools of sockeye salmon and arctic char await. This is an unforgettable, real Alaskan experience for both fly-fishermen and spin-fishermen.

You can also join a hike up a pristine river where you can catch silver, chum, and pink salmon until your arms ache (this actually happens a lot). You can even have fresh fish grilled over an open fire, prepared by your guide.

You won’t be disappointed with the fishing here. But fishing is only the start! There are many other activities to enjoy. In fact, the possibilities are endless.

Bear Viewing
Zachar Bay Lodge offers fantastic opportunities to experience Kodiak Island’s world-famous brown bears in their pristine and natural habitat. The lodge itself is located in the heart of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, home of the Kodiak brown bear.

For a very special bear viewing experience, and virtually guaranteed bear sightings, you can fly out for a full day of bear viewing at Frazer Falls, one of the world’s best places to see high concentrations of wild brown bears fishing for salmon. Here there is nothing between you and the bears save for the long-held tradition of mutual respect that exists only at this particular spot. The opportunities for bear photography in this picturesque setting are superb. And perhaps best of all, you will likely have this little known place all to yourself for most or all of the day. You will, of course, be accompanied by your very own professional bear-viewing guide the whole time. Such a situation is unique in the world, and Zachar Bay is honored to share it with you.

In addition to seeing bears on special bear viewing trips, you are very likely to see bears while fishing, while flying around in a bush plane, and indeed during any of the wilderness activities. With all the bears you’re likely to see during your guided day trips, you’ll probably be happy to know that bears are hardly ever found nosing around the lodge.

Nature Activities
Zachar Bay Lodge offers nature lovers, wildlife viewers, and photographers every opportunity to enjoy all the boundless beauty and varied wildlife Kodiak Island has to offer.

On marine mammal boat tours, you can see adorable otters, seals, sea lions, porpoises, and whales. Bird enthusiasts will see a variety of interesting birds, including two kinds of puffins. In addition to the mighty brown bear, there are several other land mammals on the island, including blacktail deer, mountain goats, and foxes. They can often be seen on a kayak trip or on a lovely hike up the beautiful Zachar River.

Adventure
If it’s an Alaska adventure you’re after, you’ve come to the right place. Kodiak Island is a vast, diverse wilderness, and the possibilities for adventure are limitless. Take to the tranquil waters of Zachar Bay by kayak, watch salmon jumping up a waterfall in a nearby stream, or attack the mountain behind the lodge for incredible views.

A three-day river rafting and camping adventure is another excellent way to get out into the wild. On this trip you will see a lot of bears and no other people, and you will catch more huge salmon than you’ve ever imagined possible.

All trips are fully guided by highly experienced, professional guides. They are expertly trained in bear safety and have many years of first hand experience with the bears of Kodiak Island. Zachar Bay Lodge prides themselves in the kind of professionalism only long experience and solid education can bring. The lodge is proud to have a spotless safety record (for both guests and bears). You can rest assured that you will be with the most qualified, knowledgeable, and safety-conscious guides on the island.

At Zachar Bay Lodge, they pride themselves in giving guests a perfect Alaska lodging experience. They have a lot to offer, and the best part is that you can have it all! You don’t have to sacrifice solitude for great fishing. And you don’t have to take a day off from fishing to see incredible scenery and varied wildlife, including bears. No matter what activity you choose to do, you can’t avoid getting the full benefit of the Kodiak Island experience.
