Floatplane from Kodiak town to Larsen Bay Lodge, a remote cabin operation on the coast where brown bears fish the same streams you're targeting. Four days of guided salmon and halibut fishing with Kodiak Wilderness Adventures, spotting bears at 40 yards while your guide works the fly line. Nights at the lodge: king salmon grilled over coals, halibut ceviche with lime and cilantro, bourbon by the fire pit under the midnight sun. Return flight crosses the Shelikof Strait at golden hour.

Questions
Do we need hunting licenses?
No. This is a viewing and fishing trip only. Alaska fishing licenses required; the lodge handles permits and bear-viewing protocols.
How remote is remote?
No roads, no cell service, floatplane only. You're 45 minutes by air from Kodiak town, in genuine wilderness with active bear populations.
What if weather cancels the floatplane?
Rare in summer, but the lodge has contingency days built in; you'll fish local streams or wait for clearing. Trip insurance recommended.
