Happy New Year from Sportsman's Cove Lodge!
Born in a small coastal town in British Columbia, Canada where the only way in or out was by boat or seaplane, I never stood a chance. My destiny was a forgone
conclusion. I was doomed to fish and fly as soon as I was able. After a stint as a pilot in the Royal Canadian Navy in the sixties, and after 34 years as an airline pilot with a major U.S. carrier, at seventy five years old I am still fishin' and flyin'. More about all that as we go, if anyone is interested

Sharing the spotlight!
I have decided to give some of my staff an opportunity to tell about their time at the lodge. And just because today December 16th is Denise's Birthday, we will start with her.
There is nothing more exciting than having a Fish On! Alaska is the most awesome place to
come “catchin’ fish”! My first year (2013) at Sportsman’s Cove was wonderful. I had
the opportunity to watch the Dock operations from the Tower (the office really).
To see the eager faces leaving the dock excited about what the day would bring
out on the water, and to see the smiling faces return to the dock with their
catch was amazing! And to hear the stories of magnificent whale shows, there is
nothing like seeing whales in the wild coming full body out of the water, it
puts you in a state of awe. An experience you will never forget!! One of my favorite things to do was to
talk with the young kids that came catchin’ with mom & dad or grama &
grampa. Hearing about the fish they caught that was as big as they are, so much
fun. Being at Sportsman’s Cove Lodge was like have mini family reunions all
summer long, meeting new people and hugging old friends. I look forward to many
seasons at the Cove!
