ABOUT:

Lava Creek Lodge is a remote fly-out fishing and wilderness lodge on the Alaska Peninsula, reachable only by floatplane.

Owned and operated by Phil Byrd, his wife, and their daughter, the lodge is a true family business—there are no corporate owners here.

It hosts just a handful of guests each week, making its exclusivity one of its biggest appeals.

This blog is where the guide team, led by head guide Mike, shares what’s actually happening on the water and around camp each week: fishing reports, gear notes, and stories from the river and the lodge.
