It’s A Big Rip Off
With airfare and lodging out $22,000.00
Alaska posted King fishing shut down June 16th. Our trip was June 23Rd. Owner calls day before to ask about mix for drinks, never mentioned King Salmon was shut down until after arriving. The accommodations are terrible, Cabins no bathroom, only outside , rooms no AC, hot , windows with torn screens, mesquites were awful, in your bed, had to out cover over our heads, shared bathroom with four others.
Food awful, fishing only for Pike. Did not pay for Pike fishing. Four grown men in a 16ft John boat, no tackle, several violations in the two days we stayed. Got out of there as soon as we could.
More violations after we left, plus wrecked a boat. Do not waste your money .

Positive review written by owner from Salt Lake City. Not my experience at all at Mcdougall Lodge.
Mcdougall Lodge, Lake Creek Alaska
i have gone 3 times so far with my friend Gary, and going again this year Aug 2015 i thought it was absolutely fine, the food was great the fishing was too, are you there to catch fish or make friends. You can do both, Cut people some slack once in a while you don't know what there days been like.

Danny. I’m sorry you felt so negative about your experience.
I was there during that time as the Housekeeping and Kitchen Manager. I have to disagree with you on some of your issues. The food was outstanding. I didn’t see you turning down any meals during your 4 day stay.
We had a top notch chef. Tony went above and beyond in his ability to serve delicious food. As far as sharing a bathroom with 4 other people, you were the lucky one to get to have a flushing toilet. The rest of us used an outhouse.
That included staff. Your room was cleaned everyday and beds were made. Yes, there were mosquitos. We all endured those pesky things.
McDougall Lodge is in a remote area. So, the luxuries you are used to were not feasible. As far as the fishing goes, McDougall Lodge owners had no control of what the state of Alaska did. You were informed that it was catch and release of Kings only.
Then the state closed it down. There were not multiple citations given to the guides. Only 2 minor incidents were cited. I feel you wrongfully gave a bad review so you could get a refund.
That was not honest on your part as you were there for 4 days. Funny how another family of 6 were there during the same time you were there and they left a glowing review. Nothing but praise.
Hope you have a good life! DH
