"Our reputation has been built up over the years by word-of-mouth advertising. Many of our clients wouldn't go anywhere else." If you've never ventured to an Alaska fly-in fishing lodge, listed below are the kind of adventures you'll find there. Captives of Katmai Before Ray Peterson Ray T. Peterson (April 23, 193? - Jan 25, 2005) was an American pop music singer. Ray Peterson was born in Denton, Texas on April 23 (some sources list the year as 1939, others as 1935).

Since those early days, the three lodges of Katmailand have become legendary -- perhaps because of the varied wilderness experiences guests can choose from. Kulik Lodge, for example, offers superb rainbow trout fishing on nearby rivers and lakes, plus flyout fishing trips to catch grayling grayling, common name for a brilliantly colored fish belonging to the genus Thymallus, of the family Salmonidae (salmon family), and closely allied to the smelt. Graylings are found chiefly in clear, cold, fresh waters of the Northern Hemisphere. , char, pike and five species of Pacific salmon.

With word-of-mouth advertising, the lodge gets 70 percent to 75 percent repeat clientele each year. For more information, call (206) 337-0326.
