Captain Phil is a US Coast Guard licensed charter boat captain as well as a New York and Alaska state licensed guide and can help book your fishing trip needs.  He is always up to date on the current fishing tactics or what is working best for that specific day and current water conditions. We are always interested in helping our guests catch more fish and have a great time.

Another beautiful Fall day on the Salmon River

We like to really get to know our guests and make sure they have a great trip.  We can make recommendations on places to eat, sites to see or just where to go to have some fun. 

And after a long day on the water you can come back to the lodge, sit around the bonfire, relax on the deck, prop your feet up and share your fishing tales. 

YOU ARE NOT JUST GUESTS BUT PART OF THE SCHOOLHOUSE FAMILY!!!!!!!
