Take a look at what visitors to Saltery Cove Lodge have to say about their trip:

Ken,

       Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know what I thought of my recent trip to Kodiak Alaska.  In a word, "WOW".  What you offer in a fishing trip is much more than I ever expected. 
      Your lodge is just beautiful.  And the view from the front porch is also breathtaking.  But before getting ahead of myself, the trip to the lodge was everything you said it would be.  Four wheeling in the wilds of Alaska is an adventure in itself.  Bear tracks in the sand in front of me as I rode down the trail says it all. Over mountains and through rivers.  Awesome. 
     Once at the lodge, it didn't take me long to rig up for the salmon.  I caught salmon until my arms were tired, but I was always aware of the bears.  We saw bears everyday I was there.  Something about seeing a bear standing across the river from me that made me realize my place in nature.
     Then Halibut fishing.  That is my favorite.  Launching your boat into the surf, now that was neat. And talk about tired arms.  Latching onto one of the big ones gave me a workout.  And all the time thinking about the good eating at the end of your line.  Your added treat of pulling a crab pot or two on the way back to the shore and catching crabs for crab legs was also special.
     After a fill of salmon, halibut, and crab legs for supper, a dip in your hot tub completed the day.  You have it all Ken.  What else can I say. I can not think of another fishing trip I have taken that provided so much more than just fishing. You made me feel at home and I enjoyed your hospitality.  I think the personal care you put into each of your guests helped to make my stay with you even more enjoyable.  I loved the trip and will be booking with you again.  I have shown my photos to my fishing buddies and I am the envy of my fishing club.  You will be hearing from of few of my friends.  Keep up the good work!

Sincerely and a special "Thank You",
Ken Sr.

Dear Ken,

     Just wanted to thank you for the great time Ryan and I  had at the lodge last week.  Saltery Cove is such a unique and beautiful place it's hard to believe.  I don't know where else such an abundance of game and fish can be found so condensed. Beyond the normal Eagle, Beaver and Deer presence, the Snow Geese we ran into were a special treat. I hope next time we see some Brown Bears close up.  Ryan and I both enjoyed riding the four-wheelers, and the skiff ride around the bay was outstanding. I particularly loved the Dungeness crab and steak night we had, I think Ryan was more oriented to the popcorn, movies and beer...haha

Thanks Again,
Daniel and Ryan Benton

     I have had the fortune of being able to stay overnight at Saltery Cove Lodge several times since it was first built. It has all the necessities to make it the most enjoyable time spend in the great outdoors.  It is located on Saltery river and next to Saltery lake with two other rivers, one on either side, all with silver salmon in the fall. Saltery river has red salmon, pink salmon, silver salmon, steel heads, rainbows and dolly vardon trout.  There are buffalo, wild horses, bears, river otters, eagles, ducks, geese and seals for the camera man or woman. When you fish all day and come back to lodge with your limit of fish the hosts are ready to filet all your fish and vacuum seal and put them into freezer . The lodge is equipped with electric, with running water, tub and shower, full kitchen with dinning room.  The evening meal is the best because you get to cook your own fish that you caught that day.  This is the best of the bestest!

Dear Saltery Cove Lodge,

     In the past two years I've been fortunate to experience over three world-class trips to your wild and beautiful location on Kodiak Island.    It's a truly amazing and rewarding adventure filled with awesome wildlife viewing, excellent fresh and saltwater fishing, great hunting; all of this with friendly-knowledgeable hosts and excellent lodging and dining.    I'm already planning two more return trips this year!   I set up 5 of my nephews and cousins with your lodge last Summer and they can't wait to return.   These young men experienced deep sea fishing for halibut, caught several trophy steelhead, and viewed hundred's of bald eagles.  Saltery Cove Lodge is truly a world-class Alaskan experience!

Ken,

     I want to thank you for the most exciting adventure I have ever been a part of!  The trip through the mountain pass into Eugak Bay is like a dream world. It looks like a tropical rain forest without the tropics. All of the four-wheelers performed perfectly.  The accommodations at Saltery Cove Lodge is just like the fishing! (WORLD CLASS) The scenery and wildlife were breathtaking, the bears were awesome. To be able to catch three species of salmon in the same stream was really exciting. I had never tasted fresh halibut in my life until we caught or own. Now I am spoiled. Looking back, it seems like most outfitters only offer one type of fishing. Saltery Cove Lodge is very unique because of all the different things you offer. When we finished a day of catching salmon, halibut, and Dungeness crabs, the wood fired hot tub would soak your tired arms and back and have you ready for tomorrow.   If you would like to use me as a client referral, please do so . 

Thank You Again,

PS. Hope to see you this year.
