2 colleagues and myself stayed at the Kodiak Lodge Resort for 5 nights and 4 full days of fishing. It was more than a vacation, it was an experience of a lifetime. The fishing was unreal. We caught halibut, 5 different species of cod, salmon, and toad fish (better known as 'mother-in-law fish). Perhaps the most memorable part of the... More

From the fabulous 600 count sheets that help you get a great night’s sleep, to curling up on the comfy leather couch watching the pair of eagles roosting on the channel marker, Kodiak Island Resort truly provides much more than a great day of fishing. Joe and Hunter put us on fish and had the equipment and skill to make... More

My husband and I just returned from a vacation at the Kodiak Island Resort. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay. The hosts April and Allen Walburn know how to treat their guests. The lodge they built about seven years ago is a wonderful lodge and is decorated beautifully for Kodiak. The location is serene and you can... More

You may think this title is an oxymoron but it is the best way I can describe my recent trip to the Walburn's Kodiak Island Resort at Larsen Bay in the northwest portion of Kodiak Island, Alaska. Take these into consideration if you are looking for a fishing/relaxing getaway. Gorgeous scenery, snowcap vistas, laid back, gourmet meals and plenty of... More

Last Christmas I decided it was time for the bucket list fishing trip with all the Grandfathers, Fathers and Sons. I was looking for something kid friendly, good fishing and 100% Alaska. Well I can now say Allen and his crew at Larsen Bay delivered big time. I had been on one other alaska fishing trip 5 years earlier in... More

In August I traveled with my two brothers and nephew to KIR. This was our first Alaska fishing trip and it was outstanding in every way. Allen and April Walburn are excellent host and wanted to make this a memoriable trip for us. The lodge, a two story log house, was impressive and was like staying in an upscale bed... More

If you want a memorable fishing experience on a top notch boat while staying in a really high end resort, look no further than the Kodiak Island Resort. I spent a few days there with my 16 year old son this August, and we are still shocked about how great an experience this was. We fished four consecutive days, catching... More

After having fished at several top end fishing lodges in Alaska in recent years,our group's view is that Kodiak Island Resort far exceeds the standards of any other lodge we've stayed at. There are several points of differentiation at KIR. Their 38' catamaran hull boat is the best designed and most stable boat I have fished on in Alaska. The... More

This resort has everything you could want for a great Alaskan fishing experience. Our host and hostess, Allen and April, were friendly and made extra efforts to be sure we enjoyed our stay. They even cooked grits for breakfast for us Southerners! Apriil is a gourmet cook and prepared wonderful appetizers and meals for us. Their Lodge is beautiful and... More
