For the adventurers who crave more than a vacation — who crave the edge of the map.
Come north to true remote Alaska — where the road ends, the signal fades, and the wild still writes the rules. This is the Last Frontier as it was meant to be experienced: Hodge's Outfitters. Here we have vast valleys, towering peaks, glacial rivers, and days measured not by notifications, but by sunlight and silence.
Spend your days deep in untouched wilderness. Wake to crisp mountain air. Travel by foot, boat, or bush plane into landscapes few will ever see. Fish wild waters. Watch wildlife in its natural rhythm. Sit beneath endless skies that remind you how small — and how alive — you really are.
This isn’t about escaping life. It’s about returning to it.
Step away from the noise. Disconnect to reconnect. Find clarity in the quiet. Find strength in the stillness. Find yourself where the wild things are.
Alaska is calling.

On October 18th our niece Rebecca (Becca) married her love Joe in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in north Georgia. Becca has been working with us at the lodge for the last 4 years. Her beau, Joe, joined us last summer. They make quite a duo. We are fortunate to have them on our team. We were thrilled to share in their love and joy.

Saying goodbye to our last clients of the season. A wonderful group of young people from Wisconsin. Thank you to all who made this another fun and successful season. Captain Mereidi for her expertise with getting the clients on fish and to Joe and Becca for being the best help we could ever have. Always cheerful and doing any and everything needed to make this a memorable experience for all of us.

Fun on the boat, lots of reeling and fish. The big halibut this season 97 pounds. As big as Melissa who caught it after 10 minutes of reeling.

Fun and food in the kitchen. It has become tradition to share a truly Alaskan shot a “duck fart” with clients and crew.
