We love to showcase our Orvis Endorsed Partners and Tikchik Narrows Lodge in Bristol Bay, Alaska, is no exception. On his final day at Alaska’s TIKCHIK NARROWS LODGE, INC., Orvis' own Philip Monahan ventured onto the lakes with guide William Paul, aiming to hook a big char and some northern pike. Positioned in the narrows near the lodge, a cool breeze swept down from Nuyakuk Lake. Overnight, the temperature had dropped noticeably, and the fish appeared reluctant to chase their flies far. Despite the challenging conditions, Phil managed to land a few small char and lake trout. Suddenly, Will exclaimed, “Bear!” and pointed across the shore opposite the lodge. A young, lanky brown bear fixed its gaze on the pair momentarily before returning to nibble on lichens. During this pre-salmon and pre-berry season, the bears, truly omnivorous, seek any available calories. After observing Phil and Will for about five minutes, the bear lost interest and wandered off into the willows. With the coast clear, they resumed the fishing adventure!
