Sustainable Adventures in America's Last Frontier - Alaska

Silver Fishing 2024 Season Update: Kustatan River fish camp is closed. We are building our new camp on Lake Iliamna for service in 2026, but can do custom camping adventure tours on a limited basis for 2024 and 2025. While we offer traditional fishing options, we are migrating to a more sustainable model which has less of a negative impact on the environment.

Eco-friendly tours include photo-safari, hiking, kayaking and sightseeing, with learning opportunities in homesteading, permaculture and subsistence culture work exchanges. These practices elevate education, awareness and protection of our vital and sensitive ecosystem while providing skills essential to resilience and connection with the natural world.

We encourage fly fishing and catch and release from the boat, but clients can keep and process fish for an additional fee. In our sustainable immersion program, we teach clients how to locate, catch, clean, cook and enjoy eating some of the most sought after species on the planet and demonstrate how every part of the fish has been traditionally used.
