What our Customers Say! Our 2012 Visit!



I received this via email yesterday!

Patty and I came to the Lodge not knowing anything about the Lodge other than what was on the website. It was just like the website said! The Lodge was rustic yet very comfortable and the scenery was breathtaking. You never really expect to see scenery as good as you do in an advertisement, but it was. The fishing was great, but the hospitality was even better. We met all the other guests and felt like we made some new friends.

The Hacks have made it a family atmosphere, very relaxing and oh so friendly not phony as you sometimes feel at a bigger establishments. The food was top notch, every meal was excellent. Everyday after we came home we would log in and see what was caught that day. We would also suggest that you hike the trail behind the Lodge, it is like another world. So green and the trail is not very hard. We have already made reservations for next year and are counting the days.

Here is a picture we took on our hike behind the Lodge>

Dinner is Served



People often wonder about the meals we serve at Yes Bay Lodge, well the above picture is an example of the type and quality of the food we serve. This meal is locally caught Dungeness Crab with a nice broiled fresh salmon fillet, brown rice and fresh asparagus. Of course this comes right after the fresh salad and just before a wonderful dessert.

Plan a trip to Yes Bay Lodge where the fishing is fantastic and the food is even better!

My Stay at Yes Bay

I love Yes Bay Lodge! My first trip to Alaska was in 1987 and I fell in love with its raw beauty and plentiful fishing. Over the years I have been to many lodges and Yes Bay is one of the best. After deciding to visit SE Alaska I started a search that lasted several months. I talked to over thirty lodges comparing costs, facilities and services. Yes Bay was at the top of the list and when I talked to lodge owner, Kevin Hack, at the Sport Show I knew this was the place. I booked a week trip for my whole family, my wife and two sons ages 2 & 6. I was the only one fishing and Kevin made accommodations for the rest of my family, so we all had a great time. From the time we arrived we felt that we were at a five star hotel. The lodge is the classic Alaskan wood construction, warm and inviting. The staff catered to our every need, and with small children there were many. The food was five stars all the way, the cook even shared recipes with my wife. And most importantly for me the guides and fishing were great. I fished with Jim Lucas and I can say that in all my years of fishing with professional guides, I have never fished with a more experienced guide then Jim. We had a great time and he can tell some funny stories, but best of all he knows how to catch fish. There aren't many lodges out there that provide one guide for every 2 guests like Yes Bay does. The lodge has a million dollar view, every night after all the guests turned in, I would grab a fresh cookie out of the jar and pour a cup of hot chocolate and sit by the fire as it burned down looking out at the view and soaking up the beauty of the location. If you take a trip to Yes Bay, you'll feel the same way I do and you too will love The Yes Bay Lodge.

My Stay at Yes Bay

Ryan said...

The experience at Yes Bay Lodge has been one of spiritual addiction. It captures what I loved about being an Eagle Scout. The Love of the great outdoors, navigated by the best professional guides, left only to relax in channels of ocean and trees. The fishing unmatched, yet such a small part of the experience. I find myself day dreaming at work about being back.
Thanks, Yes Bay Lodge
