The Gone Fishin' Lodge
Testimonials from our guests at the Gone Fishin' Lodge


Everybody here is still buzzing about our trip! Its been talked about on every radio show since we came back, and has been the topic of talk around the bait shops, marinas and sporting goods stores and everywhere else I go. It seems like everyone was listening to our radio shows and watching the TV features. I cant tell you how many people want to come next year! I dont know how well be able to handle them all!

We just wanted to tell you what a great time we had at the Gone Fishin Lodge! You are excellent hosts and you recommended wonderful guides. Your hospitality and expertise made it a very special trip for not only us, but for our sons, Nick and Jesse. We have always dreamed of visiting Alaska and youve helped make that dream come true! Thank you again for an unforgettable adventure.

Hey Ralph and Dick, It should be against the law for seven old guys to have that much fun! Everything about your lodge and the fishing guides proved to be beyond any of our wildest imagination! We all agreed, that we had very much surpassed our expectations. We are planning to be back next year. The sockeye had better be ready!!

Your service continues to amaze me! I have had two wonderful trips thanks to the personalized knowledge and world class service that you provide! We easily caught our limit of Silver Salmon and Halibut with the terrific guides you selected. The filleting, packing, and boxing of the fish is wonderfully convenient. You listen and you care! Your warmth rubs off and we end up making some new friends with the other guests every time that we have come up. Thank you for your wonderful service and I hope to see you again soon!

The Fly-out was incredible! First you're fishing and then all of a sudden it becomes a Bear Viewing trip! It was incredible being that close to Grizzly Bears.

The Gone Fishin Lodge is the best all around value in Alaska. You have great lodge facilities, conviently located in Soldotna. Your activities are wide in range and your guides are great to work with on all of your adventures. The fish packing and freezing service at the lodge is a big plus! Thanks again for a great week, well be back!

This was our first trip to Alaska and we certainly enjoyed every aspect of it! All four of our fishing days produced some huge halibut and King Salmon. The guides made the trips easy for us as they were very helpful and knowledgeable. The accommodations were excellent and your fish processing top notch! Hope to return another year.

The four of us had a great time! I caught one fish after another. Youre fishing lessons and your fishing guides were real helpful. The four of us brought back 500 lbs of fish!!! The lodge was very nice, good cooking facilities, and great recipes. The game room was fun and impressive. I look forward to more happy and fulfilling times in Alaska at your lodge. It was all I hoped for.

Thanks so much for the experience we had this summer! Our parents are still talking about it every time the family and friends are together. Dad will be 86 years old next year and we thought this would be his last fishing trip but guess what, he wants to come back! Thank you both again! The accommodations were top notch and the area was beautiful. I also want to compliment the boys who packaged our fish, great job!

I just wanted to thank you for the most unbelievable outdoors experience of my life! I used to be a commercial fisherman out of San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf, and nothing in my 5 years on the Pacific could top my trip to your lodge. You truly are the best host. I limited on every trip, not to mention the more than 60 pound King Salmon I caught. I have never fought a fish like that before!

I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your staff for the best fishing trip that I have ever had. That we all agreed that our trip with your lodge was our favorite, was a testament to the great service at your lodge . Your patience, caring, and attention to detail were instrumental. That you had a beautiful lodge with a great location on the river with a wonderful view did not hurt either. We cannot thank you enough for the world-class fishing experience and service.

The best day we spent this year was a Halibut Trip out of Anchor Point. We anchored in one spot for 4 hours with 3 poles fishing for Silver Salmon and 3 poles fishing for Halibut. There wasn’t 2 or 3 minutes we didn’t have a fish on. After a limit of Silvers and Halibut and much catch and release we returned to the lodge tired and happy! After 30 minutes rest we walked down the lodge stairs to the river and caught a limit of Reds. What a day!!

To All Fisherman, The best resort, the best location, the best fish, what more do you need? Ralph and Dick treat you like family!!!!!! They don’t go to bed until their guests are taken care of. We shared car rides, ate meals together and had fun together. They care! I have been to other resorts, I’m going back to the Gone Fishin’ Lodge!

Hugh Mackey, LakePort, Ca. (707) 263-0277


The fishing trip was a dream come true! I’ve always dreamed of going to Alaska and fishing. This trip was everything I dreamed of. The staff was very friendly, the guides very good and the fishing great! I hope to do it again very soon!
