The Geo-Dome and the Sequence of Problems
In the mid 1990’s, just before we bought land and began building the lodge, we camped in Excursion Inlet, a short distance from our current location. The owners of the property were personal friends. The Gordon’s had purchased an aluminum geodesic dome and placed it on the property. The dome was in a secure area and seemed to have repellant properties to some of the big game in the area. We didn’t see a single bear while camping using the dome (nor did we see any elephants, woolly mammoths, or mastodons, so you can see how effective at repelling it was!) …

Ignorance of the Law is No Excuse
The salt water fishing areas near Doc Warner’s lodge have always been very productive. At the end of the fishing week, our guests are often surprised at the amount of fish they have caught. As a policy, we provide two fish boxes – free of charge- to each guest to take their frozen fish home as checked baggage. On occasion, the changing airline rules have complicated this for the travelers, but nonetheless, we have maintained our free two boxes per guest for many years without any significant disturbance (much to the liking of our guests!) …

Learning to be Mechanics

How to Tell Salmon Apart
The limits for Silver Salmon (Coho), Pink Salmon (Humpy), Chum Salmon (Dog), and Red Salmon (Sockeye) are six per species per guest per day. For King Salmon (Chinook), the limits are set annually and change throughout the year. They can be anywhere from five or six per season with one or two catches per day down to one or two per season. King limits will be given to you when you arrive at the lodge. These limits make it important for our guests to know how to identify salmon species.

Marv Prestridge
When guests ask us how we built such a nice facility in remote Alaska, our standard answer has been: “If we had known what we were doing, we would never have attempted such a big project.” In this post Doc tells how Marv Prestridge saved the project of building Doc Warner’s into a fishing lodge. …
The First Fishing Trip
Sometime during 1981, an Explorer Scout leader, Richard, phoned me* from Utah. He wanted to bring his scouts on an Alaska high adventure fishing camp-out. At the time, I was working for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. I told Richard that if he would bring the boys to Juneau, I would help arrange for the necessary equipment and suggest a place they could fish from shore, since neither they nor we had boats.
