Another case of the disappearing review. Yelp, if you were a person, I'd have you evaluated for…read moredementia. Anyway.... Little Campbell Lake (aka Beer Can Lake - a truly undeserved moniker) is a sweet little lake trail tucked away at the entry of Kincaid park. It has it's own parking lot and is several miles away from the Chalet and soccer fields. It's really in it's own world. It has a loop trail around that is shy of a mile. There are several trails that connect at this location at or near the parking lot. The Little Campbell is also a stocked Lake, so although it's small, its a popular fishing location. And I frequently note kids and dogs swimming here. Frankly, the water looks too... healthy with plant matter (slimy!) for swimming, but that's just me. This is an awesome location for scouting mushrooms and berries, I always find awesome stuff in this area. Rarely do find the parking lot full. As with most parks in Anchorage, the one thing that irritates me is unleashed dogs and crap that is left behind. Nothing like dog crap to ruin our pristine landscape. But other than that, this is a very accessible, but fairly unspoiled location for a quick get away.

We've had a Clay as our guide a few times before, and he's always fantastic--knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely fun to be around. He made sure we were in the right spots, gave great tips, and kept the energy up all day long, even at 4am. The owners, Lori and Travis, clearly care about their business and their guests. You can tell they've put a lot of heart into making sure every trip is a great experience. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, and we came back with not only a great haul of fish but also memories we'll talk about for a long time. If you're thinking about booking a fishing trip, we absolutely recommend Fish Em. Clay, Lori, and Travis make a great team, and we can't wait to go out with them again!

Let's get one thing straight: I ain't no fisherman…read more I'm a...well, I don't what the term is in fishing circles. In gaming they call 'em "newbs". In sport climbing they call 'em "gumbies". Whatever they call that in fishing, that's what I am. I don't know anythign about knots, hooks, bait, etc. I just do what my brother tells me. This is a good place to watch other people fish. It's not all that scenic, it's pretty much a wet, muddy, mucky area with little-to-no views of the mountains. (Seriously, you'll want some serious boot/wader action to fish here) However, it is a fun place to walk to from downtown and see something different. The main novelty, of course, is that you can fish while still technically being "downtown". You can also eat at the nearby "Bridge" restaurant which used to be quite good but now is an overpriced tourist trap. If you're a tourist, you'll love it. If you're a local, don't bother.

Clearly the Finest Flyfishing Lodge in America. Every day is a new adventure. Unfortunately, once…read moreyou have fished and caught the native rainbow trout here, you will be ruined for all other places. They are big and the fight. It is all barbless hooks, which only adds to the thrill. Toss in the wildlife, bears in particular, and you will have an unbelievable outdoor adventure. You first day will start on the "local" Kulik River. Worry not your arm will be begging for mercy at the end of the day. In addition to trout, there are also Salmon waiting to be caught. Kulik Lodge will provide everything needed, rods, waders, boots and tackle. The guides are ready to assist people at any level. Bryce, Ned, Tyler, Charlie, Duncan, ... they are all here to make sure your adventure is memorable. In the evening, as you are enjoying your evening drink of choice, you will decided your next days adventure. Fly-outs are a thrill. Landing on a small pond or river just adds to the fishing adventure. Once you have rousted you gear from the plane you will hike down to the river. Your day could be a float down a river or a hike up or down. No matter which you choose, you will come back to Kulik with many stories of your days adventure. Kulik is "rustic", but with first class service. Meghan will make sure when you return to you room, beds are made and everything is spotless. Lindsco in the kitchen will make sure your tummy isn't being forgotten too. Breakfast is basically anything you want. Lunch, most times you guide will be carrying your choice of sandwich and treats to be eaten on the river. Dinner is family style with anything from roast beef to lamb loin chops to salmon. There are always three proteins to select from ... one, two or all three can be selected. If you want "bucket list" experience, Kulik Lodge is the place. Many of their customers have been returning for 20+ years. You will not be a nameless person there. They will say your name on the first day.

If you want to be on top of the fish in Hope and right on the river, then Seaview campsites are what you want. These campsites have ZERO privacy except for seagrass. The tent campsites also aren't really marked very well, so it's pretty much a free for all. The RV hookup spots are clearly marked, but those spots are uglier than hell to be honest. There area FEW tent campsites that are actually cute and have trees, but that's only maybe 3 or 4 of them. Most of them are right on the inlet, depending on which direction you're facing you have a beautiful view of inlet and nature OR alternately you can have a few of cruddy portapotties and RV's. This is definitely a PARTYING campground and not the best locale for people who want solitude. Since the campground is right there in town, the live music from the restaurants reverberates through whole area, which creates a real festive atmosphere. The port a pots at the campground are an absolute nightmare, but the Hope public restroom is a short walk and worth walking to. No showers, so welcome to stinkdom! The Seaview is some of the most inexpensive camping I've seen anywhere in Alaska, so if you're on a budget, this is your spot. Tent spots are only 6 bucks! RV spots are $20 with electric or $15 without. Serious bargain!
