Meals:
Once you arrive at the Dillingham airport, you will be met and transported via chartered floatplane to our campsite at Iris Point in the beautiful Wood-Tikchik State Park. Our Iris Point site is in absolutely beautiful spot just minutes from world class fly fishing.
The park consists of a chain of large lakes that are interconnected by rivers. The lakes and rivers are teaming with fish. Some of the rivers near our camp hold some of the highest concentrations of Rainbow Trout in Alaska. The river nearest our camp was voted to be one of the top ten Rainbow Trout rivers in the nation. This river is hands down the finest river in the state of Alaska for catching large Rainbow Trout on a dry fly. That is one of our specialties, catching BIG Bows on dries. 
Iris Point Fishing Camp
We limit our group size to 8 or fewer to insure you get the personalized attention and uncrowded feeling so vital for a fulfilling Alaska wilderness fly fishing adventure. Of course singles and couples are welcome. The small group size allows us to customize the trip to your specific wants and needs. We do what you want.
If you want to fish hard, that's what you'll do. Would you like to go out after a great dinner to check out the evening bite? No problem. We give you maximum fishing time. Small groups and super service is our specialty.
Accommodations:
Weatherports
Our wilderness camp is very comfortable with top quality equipment including; 8'x10' Weatherports on carpeted plywood platforms that accommodates two guests. The Weatherports are heated and have lighting for reading in the evening. We provide warm clean sleeping bags, blankets and pillows atop large padded cots for a comfortable nights sleep.
The shower house is large and roomy with an on demand hot water heater for all the hot water you want for a nice hot shower after a
day of great fishing. This is a very easy and comfortable stay in the wilderness. We may be camping but this is very cushy camping. 
All of your meals are included and will be prepared by our professional staff chef. Would you like to wake up after a warm comfortable nights sleep to a beautiful Alaska summer morning, a fresh brewed cup of coffee and a hearty family style breakfast? Does the thought of fresh caught Salmon grilled to perfection make your mouth water? Do you enjoy outdoor cooking at its best? Our chef prepares and serves lots of
hearty delicious food. If you have a meal or dish you would like to request, no problem. Our staff chef will be happy to make it happen. Shore lunches on days that we venture further a field away from camp will be prepared by your guides.
Meals are family style affairs consisting of steak, chicken, fish, pasta, ribs, salads, pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, juice, coffee, etc. This is definitely not your typical hot dogs and hamburger type camping. I promise you won't go hungry during your stay with us.

Fly fishing season breakdown:
Our season starts off in late-June. June action is highlighted by the out migration of Salmon Smolt. Smolt are two year old Salmon that are migrating to the sea. Big hungry Arctic Char literally line up at the outlets of the rivers and lakes waiting for the Smolt to arrive. The fishing can be very fast and furious. Large hungry Arctic Char chasing schools of Salmon Smolt is a sight to see. This is some wild action that lasts into the first part of July.

Late June also sees the start of the Salmon run. The Sockeye Salmon start arriving by late June by the hundreds of thousands and can be caught through the rest of the season into September. Sockeye are a terrific game fish that run from 8 to 14 pounds and are very strong. Last summer there where over 1.5 million Sockeye in our lake system. In addition to great Salmon fishing and exceptional dry fly fishing for big Rainbow Trout, side trips for Grayling, Char and Pike are also part of the action throughout the summer.
July sees the start of some of the best dry fly action in the state of Alaska. This exceptional dry fly action starts the last week of June and continues through the entire month of July and through the first couple of weeks of August. One of our specialties is catching Big Bows on dry flies. This is truly great dry fly action. Watching a large Rainbow as long as your arm rise to your dry fly is something all fly fishers should experience. This is some of the best dry fly fishing to large Rainbows anywhere.
By mid August the Salmon have started spawning by the tens of thousands. The Rainbows, Char and Grayling are gorging on Salmon eggs. FAT Rainbows and BIG hungry Char are caught on egg patterns and Salmon beads from mid August through September. Egg patterns and flesh flies are the name of the game in late August and September. The Rainbows, Char and Grayling are at their largest and FATTEST of the season by this time of year. The largest fish of the season will be caught from mid-August through September. This is some truly great fly fishing.
With Reel Wilderness Adventures you will be surrounded by snow capped mountains and beautiful green forests that are home to the abundant wildlife native to Alaska, including moose, bear, caribou, beaver, eagles, swans, and loons. Your daily excursions to various parts of the lake system will take past some of the most spectacular scenery you will ever see. Many of our past adventurers have found their Reel Wilderness Adventure to be one of the most enjoyable experiences of their life.
