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. 

Fishing Updates

  • WEEKLY UPDATE: Every week during the season we provide a fishing update of the previous week and occasionally during the off season.
  • BIG STORY: In the fishing updates you will typically find the ‘big story’ of the week whether it be a jaw dropping catch, the spectacular weather, or an amazing memory shared by a guest.
  • ANTICIPATE YOUR TRIP: As you count down the days to our trip, stay informed by reading the updates. When you get here, you’ll already know what’s been happening.
