Life At Docs

  • ORIENTATION: Upon arriving at Doc Warner’s, the first order of the evening is to become familiar with the facilities and then to settle in for your week-long Alaska fishing trips. After you and your fellow guests have enjoyed a delicious meal, you will begin orientation.
  • DAILY SCHEDULE: Every morning starts early with a hearty, all-you-can-eat breakfast. Afterward, we’ll provide fixings for you to make lunch. Then, it’s fishing time! You may fish until you catch your daily bag limits or until dinner time. After dinner, join us Monday-Wednesday for fish chats.  Thursday is movie night and wrap up the week with a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility on Friday evening. 
  • FISH PROCESSING: After delivering your fish to our dock crew for processing each day, the fish are fileted, vacuum sealed, packed, and frozen.  At the end of the week, they will be packed into airline-approved boxes ready for you to take home as checked luggage.

Fish Tales & Reviews

  • KENT R.: Doc Warner’s guests are treated to vistas of majestic snow-capped mountains, glacier-laden valleys, and verdant conifer forests carpeting the steep and rugged slopes.
  • GIL AND DENISE L.: Located about 30 miles west of Juneau, Doc Warners’ lodge is situated along the shoreline of Excursion Inlet. It is nestled amidst the towering peaks of the St. Elias Mountains in Southeast Alaska. Gustavus, headquarters for Glacier Bay National Park, is a short 12 miles to the west.
