I have fly fished in many beautiful places and stayed at many lodges and worked with many guides, but I can easily say that Brian and his team at Intricate Bay Lodge are the best. I have never been so pleased with a trip. Everything was perfect, and it is obvious that this outfit is led by a man with vision, and a deep desire to provide clients with the best experience out there. Each member of the team functioned seamlessly and showed each other respect as they worked hard and filled the roles required to make each piece of the trip come together. Each day’s outing required a tremendous amount of logistical undertaking which was executed flawlessly. This detailed preparation was not lost on me as a business owner, and I greatly enjoyed watching the IBL team work to take care of our group and have a great time in the process. The people are amazing, the lodge is immaculate, the meals and accommodations are superb, the guides were consummate professionals and friends, and the fishing was beyond anything I can describe. This truly was a trip of a lifetime. If you are on the fence about booking let me put your mind at ease and tell you it was worth every penny. I am truly grateful to have shared this trip with my friends, and with the amazing IBL staff (Brian, Kevin, Deb, Chace, Hayden, Seth, Chandler, TJ, Zac, and Troy). Intricate Bay Lodge is simply the best in Alaska hands down! Sincerely, Jacob Johnson

I recently spent a week at IBL with two cousins I had not seen for 16 years and my two brothers, an uncle and my dad. My brothers and I have been to a combined 200 countries and have had MANY MANY adventures. I can honestly say that this was on of the most memorable trips I have had. The staff, guides, fishing, food (o man, the food was off the charts good), accommodations, views from the Jacuzzi, wine, laughter..etc...were par none. Excellent all around. Teary eyed when we had to say our goodbyes. IBL is a special, special place. I fell in love.
