One of the perks of visiting Favorite Bay Lodge in Angoon, Alaska, is having a chance to spend a little time in the capital, Juneau. Now, this little city certainly won’t wow you with towering skyscrapers or a flashy fashion scene. Still, what it lacks in cosmopolitan appeal, it amply makes up for in scenic beauty. Depending on your travel plans, you may only have enough time to grab some food at the airport. However, if you plan on spending a day or more, there are plenty of things to do in Juneau before you begin your Alaskan adventure. What [...]

Even some of the most experienced kayak enthusiasts never make their way to “The Last Frontier.” As such, gliding across the pristine waters of coastal Alaska is a bucket list adventure for many. Much like the fishing guides at Favorite Bay Resort, their kayak instructors find great joy in sharing their expertise, knowledge, and know-how with eager explorers. Although most of our guests place fishing at the forefront of their retreat, kayaking in Alaska always seems to be a popular prospect. Floating atop shimmering tidal waters surrounded by picturesque beauty is a genuinely immersive experience and one of the most [...]

Summer is arguably the best time for Alaska trout fishing. The days are longer, the weather is more predictable, and most importantly, the fish don’t seem to let up. Although we have an abundance of Pacific salmon, rockfish, and halibut near Favorite Bay Lodge, there’s nothing quite like trekking the freshwater rivers searching for Dolly Vardens, cutthroat, and steelhead. Our slice of angling paradise has a relatively high concentration of trout, and so many guests place them at the forefront of their retreat. As such, we’d like to help you prepare for the trout fishing adventure of a lifetime on [...]

One of the best parts about staying at Favorite Bay Lodge is that it’s not your typical all-inclusive resort in Alaska. While there are many fine lodges on the “Last Frontier,” having a wide array of recreational options besides fishing is what separates the good from the exemplary. People come to Alaska to experience something new and exciting, so having a broad spectrum of activities can go a long way in determining where you stay. One of the lesser-known pastimes for anglers in Alaska is fishing for Dungeness crab. Not only will you have a chance to pull traps filled [...]

Part of what makes Favorite Bay Lodge the preferred angling destination for adventurous outdoor enthusiasts is the savory, sweet, and delicious offerings provided by world-class culinary masters. Furthermore, our all-inclusive rates include up to 100 lbs of processed fish, packaging, and freight back to Juneau.

Despite many advances in technology over the past couple of decades, wildlife photography remains a somewhat enigmatic hobby that no one can seem to truly master. Furthermore, it's one thing to take pictures of birds and other critters in your neck of the woods, but wildlife photography in Alaska is a whole different animal. The good news is that you don't have to be an expert to take decent pictures; you just need a little bit of knowledge to help you figure out the basics.
