Alaska Fishing Lodge - I have run in Alaska fishing lodge for several years, and in all of that time, no two days, and no two clients for that matter, are like. You see, everyone comes up here with a different idea of what they want out of their Alaska fishing adventure. Honestly, I prefer the ones who are a little bit bratty over the would be great white hunters. If what they want is to be pampered, we have one of the best fishing lodges Alaska has to offer. I am not saying that to scare up business – business is booming all year round, and we have all the customers we can afford. But it is the macho ones, the ones that come out here with something to prove, that are really a nuisance.
You see, besides running this Alaska fishing lodge, I also work as a full-time Alaska fishing guide for our customers. The lodge part is easy, except when the weather is so bad that keeps us from getting supplies. It is the Alaska fishing guides life that is difficult. Running an Alaska fishing lodge, all you have to do is ensure that there is a warm meal, a clean change of sheets, and well insulated building and your guests are for the most part happy. But acting as a guide for over enthusiastic yahoos who think that one week in a remote Alaska fishing lodge will be enough to recover their spirit and their manhood after 20 years in a crushing office environment is another matter entirely.
Some of these guys are so bad that they have been banned from several Alaska fishing lodges, one after another. One of them is positively infamous. He goes to Alaska fishing lodge, puts his supplies, which are never enough for the middle of winter when he comes, in his room, and insists on spending the rest of the time outdoors. Many people might say, “so what, let them take care of himself” they can you imagine the buzz if someone were to die in an Alaska fishing lodge on his vacation The press loves that kind of stuff, they would eat it up, and whoever was the owner of said unfortunate Alaskan fishing watch would pay the price. It is this, and not the remoteness or the isolation, or even the whiny difficult guests, that make running an Alaska fishing lodge such a difficult job.
