Iris Point:

Once you arrive at the Dillingham airport, you will be met and transported via chartered floatplane to our campsite at Iris Point in the beautiful Wood-Tikchik State Park. Our Iris Point site is in an absolutely beautiful spot just minutes away from world class fly fishing.

The park consists of a chain of large lakes that are interconnected by rivers. The lakes and rivers are teaming with fish. The river nearest our camp, the Agulukpak, holds one of the highest concentrations of Rainbow Trout in Alaska and was voted one of the top ten Rainbow Trout rivers in the nation. This river is hands down the finest river in the state of Alaska for consistently catching large Rainbow Trout on dry flies. That is one of our specialties, catching BIG Bows on dries.

Small Group Size:

We limit our group size to 8 or fewer to insure you receive the personalized attention and uncrowded feeling so vital for a fulfilling Alaska wilderness fly fishing adventure. Of course singles and couples are welcome. The small group size allows us to customize the trip to your specific wants and needs. We do what you want.

If you want to fish hard, that's what you'll do. Would you like to go out after a great dinner to check out the evening bite? No problem. We give you maximum fishing time. Small groups and super service is our specialty.

Our wilderness camp is very comfortable with top quality equipment including; 8' x 10' Weatherports on carpeted platforms that accommodates two guests. The Weatherports are heated and have lighting for reading in the evening. We provide warm clean sleeping bags, blankets and pillows atop large padded cots for a comfortable nights sleep.

The shower house is large and roomy with an on-demand hot water heater for all the hot water you want for a nice hot shower after a day of great fishing. Our bathroom facilities have flush toilets. This is a very easy and comfortable stay in the wilderness.

All of your meals are included and will be prepared by our professional staff chef.

Getting Around The Lake System:

Our site at Iris Point is ideally located to take advantage of the awesome fishing in the entire lake system. Jet-powered riverboats are used to travel over the miles and miles of this vast lake and river system that make up this beautiful wilderness park. A couple of the rivers near our site are home to some of the highest concentrations of Rainbow Trout in Alaska. This is Alaska wilderness fly fishing at its best.

Our 2008 season starts on June 28th. June action is highlighted by the out migration of Salmon Smolt. Smolt are two year old Salmon that are migrating to the sea. Big hungry Arctic Char literally line up by the hundreds at the outlets of the rivers and lakes waiting for the Smolt to arrive. The fishing can be very fast and furious. Large hungry Arctic Char chasing schools of Salmon Smolt is a sight to see. This is some wild action that lasts into the first part of July.

Fishing for big Rainbows is also very good at this time with effective patterns including Streamers, Leeches, Nymphs and depending upon water temperature, dry flies. Grayling and Pike fishing are also very good during late June.

Late June also sees the start of the Sockeye Salmon run. The Sockeye start arriving by late June in the hundreds of thousands and can be caught through the rest of the season into September. Sockeye are a terrific game fish that run from 6 to 14 pounds and are very strong. Last summer there where over 3.5 million Sockeye in our lake system. In addition to great Salmon fishing and exceptional dry fly fishing for big Rainbow Trout, side trips for Grayling, Char and Pike are also part of the action throughout the summer.

July sees the start of some of the best dry fly action in the state of Alaska. This exceptional dry fly action starts the last week of June and continues through the entire month of July and through the first couple of weeks of August. One of our specialties is catching Big Bows on dry flies. This is truly great dry fly action. Watching a Rainbow as long as your arm rise to your dry fly is something all fly fishers should experience. This is some of the best dry fly fishing to large Rainbows anywhere.

By mid-August the Salmon have started spawning by the tens of thousands. The Rainbows, Char and Grayling are gorging on Salmon eggs. FAT Rainbows and BIG hungry Char are caught on egg patterns and Salmon beads from mid August through September. Egg patterns and flesh flies are the name of the game in late August and September. The Rainbows, Char and Grayling are at their largest and FATTEST of the season by this time of year. The largest fish of the season will be caught from mid-August through September. This is some truly great fly fishing.
