Here’s an example of how it can be done in a 6-Day/7-Night stay with us: With that, we decided to invent the Alaska Grand Slam, honoring any angler who can catch all the game fish available in Bristol Bay in a single week stay with Crystal Creek Lodge. This is a very tall task in a single day, but in a week it is possible. During the last 2 weeks of July, it is possible for an angler at Crystal Creek Lodge to catch 5 species of Pacific Salmon in addition to Rainbow Trout, Arctic Char, Dolly Varden, Arctic Grayling, Northern Pike, and Lake Trout. In Alaska, we have an embarrassing wealth of fish variety and opportunity. It’s a common target in places like Florida, Belize, and Mexico. The most notable is the inshore grand slam where a saltwater angler catches a tarpon, permit, and bonefish in a single day. A grand slam is the achievement of catching a collection of game fish in a single day. Perhaps you have heard of the “Grand Slam” in fly fishing.
