Four curated packages to match season and skill
Eagle Head Tree offers four distinct packages: the Deluxe Fishing Package, Kenai Peninsula Fishing Package, Fall Fly Fishing Package and Spring Special Fishing Package, each combining guided charters and lodge accommodations so anglers can pick the mix of halibut, salmon, trout and fly‑in days that fits their trip.
All‑in gear, rainwear and a flight‑ready catch
Most packages include all necessary fishing gear—bait and tackle, rain gear and waders—and many packages include one 50 lb box of flight‑ready fish processing to get your catch home.
Guides, fly‑in access and species diversity
The offerings center on fully guided trips that target halibut, trout and salmon, and the Deluxe Package features a dedicated Alaska fly‑in fishing day to reach remote water otherwise inaccessible by road.
What the day feels like
What a typical Eagle Head Tree week feels like
A stay under the Eagle Head Tree packages is lodge‑centered: mornings and days are spent on guided boats or a fly‑in excursion—depending on the package—targeting halibut, trout and salmon; evenings return to the lodge with guides, gear and processing arranged so anglers can focus on fishing rather than logistics.
