The
Lodge
The Royal Coachman Lodge, a fishing lodge in Alaska, sits on the banks
of the Nuyakuk river overlooking our home pool, and caters to a maximum
of 10-12 anglers per week (and private groups up to 12). Our camp staff
numbers 10-12 persons. This small number of guests and large staff helps
to ensure that you will have the maximum amount of personal service and
attention that this truly world class fishing adventure offers.
The fishing Lodge in Alaska houses the kitchen, dining room and lounge,
library corner, and fly-tying bench. Comfortable and cozy, this is where
you will plan each following days excursions. You and your guides will
sit around the fire or the tying bench, and decide what type of fishing
you would like to do, and plan the details of tomorrow’s outing. There
is no pre-scheduled fishing program here. Custom tailoring each day’s
fishing is one of the major
advantages to our small and personal
approach to sportfishing. The Royal Coachman Lodge in Alaska has been
serving guests since 1970. Our philosophy and attention to detail has
set the standard that others try to attain. It’s our trademark and we’re
proud of it!
Accommodations
We have four finely furnished guest cottages each with living rooms, one
and two bedrooms, and private baths. We also have two well appointed
bedrooms in the main lodge. Each cabin or room has modern bath
facilities, independent heat, excellent beds, and all the creature
comforts of home, along with spectacular views of the river, the rapids,
and the snowcapped peaks.
Daily Routines
Breakfast is served in the main lodge between 7:00 and 7:45 a.m., and if
you request we will serve coffee, tea, fruit, and pastries in your cabin
around six a.m. just to help take the edge off while you get ready for
breakfast and the day. Lunch is served streamside, sometimes pre-packed
and often times prepared by your guide on site. Dinner is served in the
Lodge at 7:00 p.m.
When it comes to the fishing, there are no routines! Its whatever you
and your group want to do, and wherever you want to go, totally your
preference. The aircraft and guides are ready to leave the docks about
one half hour after everyone is done with breakfast, usually between
8:00-8:30 a.m. We return to the Lodge each evening about 6 p.m. There is
great evening fishing in front of the Lodge for those who just can’t get
enough of a good thing, and with the Alaskan midnight sun you can fish
all night if you want.
Meals
The Royal Coachman Lodge, a fishing lodge in Alaska, prides itself on
the quality and abundance of the food that is available to its guests.
Freshly baked bread, rolls, and pastries are served at each lodge meal.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are always available. Dinner menus vary but

of Alaskan seafood, and similar items. Lunches are prepared by the lodge
kitchen staff and are often times supplemented by fresh fish cooked on
the stream bank.
Homemade soups, breads, pastries, and desserts are the specialties of
the house. Snacks are always available and we serve appetizers each
evening. You won’t find better food at any fishing lodge in Alaska.
