| The warmer weather that follows the Spring Equinox into the Northern
Hemisphere gets us thinking about the cool waters of trout and salmon rivers. Montana, Alaska, Canada, Russia,
and Iceland are great destinations for this Summers Fishing Trip. Peak weeks are still available for great summer
fishing like drifting hoppers for the Brown's on the Big Hole and the Beaverhead, swinging Sugerman's Shrimp for
Atlantic Salmon or waking Dragon Gurglers for "hot" Dean River Steelies. Five Rivers Lodge Five Rivers is situated between the Big Hole, Beaverhead, Jefferson, Ruby, and Madison Rivers. In total, these 5 rivers create more than 40 distinct fishing areas, most within 30 minutes, an all within an hours drive of Five Rivers Lodge. With this variety of |

Dave Ducan and Sons Dave Duncan & Sons Outfitters is unquestionably among the best and most experienced tent camp and float trip operators on what many experts believe is Alaska's best all around river -The Kanektok. Both camps offer good fishing for all 5 species of Pacific Salmon and fresh water fish like Grayling and the 'Tock's famous Leopard Rainbows. Anglers focusing on salmon fishing frequently choose Lower Base Camp where fresh run fish are in prime condition and readily take the fly. Anglers preferring to concentrate on trophy rainbow fishing usually opt for Upper Base Camp, which has more diverse and intimate "trout water". |

| Moose Lake Lodge Moose Lake Lodge is superbly located for excellent rainbow trout fishing in Moose and Trophy Lake but also for flyouts to productive trout, salmon, and steelhead rivers like the Entiako, Blackwater, and the legendary Dean. June 15 to July 30 provides excellent dry fly fishing for Rainbows in the streams and rivers and July 30 to September 10 is a great time to combine lake and river rainbow fishing with salmon in the rivers. July 30 to August 20 offers an intriguing combination of dry fly fishing for rainbows and fresh pinks, chums and coho salmon, easily caught on flies in small, clear rivers, often sight fishing. Depending on the size of the group, Moose Lake Lodge has some space during most weeks during the season and is offering a 20% discount to new bookings. |

| Sadly, after being open to the public for 23 years, Red Pine Mountain Lodge on the Restigouche River will revert to "members only". The owners have accepted an offer from the Ristigouche Salmon Club to buy back the property, and it appears the sale will close before the start of the season. However, we highly recommend the following handful of properties: Those looking for the potential 30 - 40 pounder should consider our other Quebec Lodges - Camp Bonaventure on the Bonaventure River; The Salmon Lodge on the Grand Cascapedia River; Camp Brule on the Petite Cascapedia River. For numbers and quality size, we suggest Pratt's Falls Lodge (Previously Lower Eagle River Salmon Lodge) on Labrador's Eagle River. For more remote/exotic Salmon fishing, we recommend Iceland's top Salmon Rivers or Russia's Kola and Ponoi Rivers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
