Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted April 16, 2006 Root Admin Posted April 16, 2006 A very good friend of mine just bought a place in Alaska and is now booking trips for this summer. His name is Jim Johnson, former owner of the Pere Marquette River Lodge on the Pere Marquette River in Baldwin, Michigan. He and his family will be living and working out of a small "lodge" on the Naknek River, located in the Katmai National Park. Because of his recent purchase (less than 30 days ago), he doesn't have alot of his promo material done yet. He's only seen the place buried in snow so only has a few pics taken by the previous owner, who ran bear excursions out of the lodge. Jim is experienced as an Alaskan guide, taking groups to the different areas of the great state with his brother Tom. Only until now do they have a base to operate out of. He has already booked most of the weeks available this summer but has openings in June and July. This is the best part - he's only charging $1500 per person for 7 days, 6 nights which includes- - the assistance of a professional river guide - all meals - a riverfront cabin, double occupancy - use of a boat, motor and fuel - transportation to and from the King Salmon airport Fly out trips are available. Hosted bear photo safari - included. Guided trip to Brooks - included. More details? Post away. Jim is going to register here and answer any questions. I will say this- I have known Jim & Phyliss for over 20 years now and can say honestly they will provide a quality Alaskan trip well worth double the money you will pay. $1500 is unheard of (as far as I know) for a week of fishing in this great place. And no I don't get anything for helping a friend in his new business. Here are some pics from my trip to the Kenai River in 2004 with Tom Johnson, Jim's brother.
