What’s New with Intricate Bay Lodge
As the 2013 Alaskan Fishing Season is right around the corner, we are looking forward to heading back to the Bristol Bay Region to open the lodge after the long winter and get everything ready for our dear guests. Opening week will start June 8th, it should be great for catching those big rainbows on dries, nymphs, streamers and mice , and we just can’t wait! The off-season for us is never as exciting as the fishing season, but definitely very productive. Intricate Bay Lodge’s owner and staff participated in numerous Fly Fishing Shows across the nation.
