(#1/8) Such an amazing adventure!! This was my 4th trip to the lodge and it's a personal highlight to my year. The fish were biting and the weather was excellent again this year. The hospitality is second to none and Simon and his entire team make the trip enjoyable for everyone whether you're a seasoned vet or brand new to fishing....Already excited for next years trip!
(#2/8) The fishing was fantastic, and our guide was a blast! He had extensive knowledge of the area as he has worked numerous seasons before and was high energy, positive and encouraging. We caught some halibut, coho and ling cod as well as saw a couple humpbacks breaching which was breathtaking!
(#3/8) We had boasted for 12 years about how terrific the fishing has been at Sportsman's Club , so our 4 friends who have fished the Alaskan coastlines came with us. At the end of the trip, they said they had never caught as many salmon, halibut & other species! I've said it once & I'll say it again … when I die, I want to go to Fisherman's heaven … which apparently is located at River's Inlet at Sportsman's Club!
(#4/8) Rivers Inlet has everything you need for a fantastic fishing getaway. Great amenities, friendly service, tasty food (I especially loved the warm soup on the deck upon returning from a cold afternoon of fishing), knowledgeable fishing guides, and the high quality fishing gear and boat. My friends and I had an unforgettable experience. I especially appreciated the attentiveness of all staff members who seemed to work around the clock to serve the guests.
(#5/8) My family have been coming to Rivers Inlet Sportsman Club for years. The overall experience is nothing but spectacular. From the floatplane ride in, to the service provided by the wonderful staff, it's truly and ultimate fishing experience. The fishing grounds are very close and the calm waters are appreciated by my 80 year old dad. The beauty and remoteness is amazing. We have been here 8 times and everyone has brought home limits 7 out of the 8 times. One year, I caught a 44lb Tyee King salmon. I have countless stories that I will never forget and I hope to bring my kids here for the same experience once they get older. If you are thinking about going on a fishing experience, go here because you will not regret it. Simon is quite the hoot as well!

(#7/8) My family has a lifetime memories of our trip. The lodge is comfortable, well equipped and only minutes from the best fishing in this area of the coast. Everything from the warm cookies that were waiting for us when we came in from the evening fishing to the excellent meals, and top notch service made us feel special. The whales right next to the boat, the float plane in and out of the lodge, the exploring we did up the coast and of course the fishing all added up to one great family wilderness experience. We have been eating the salmon, telling the stories and loving it! Definitely going back!
(#8/8) Well, our first trip to Rivers Inlet has been the highlight of our summer. My long time friend & I enjoyed the whole experience from the Pacific Gateway to the South Terminal and the direct Seair float plane ride into Rivers Inlet Sportsman's Club, the warm reception at the dock, the wonderful food and exceptional service. The fishing was superb, beyond our expectations, as were the guides.
