5 Last-Minute Gift Ideas for the Traveling Angler

December 18, 2017 by Sportsmans Blog

You are here: Alaska Fishing Lodges > 5 Last-Minute Gift Ideas for the Traveling Angler
1. Orvis Safe Passage
2. Yeti Rambler 14 OZ
3. Goal Zero Venture 30
Orvis Pliers

  1. Orvis Safe Passage® Carry It All ($179) – This is the ultimate piece of luggage for the serious fly fisher who comes prepared. If your loved one travels with 5-6 rods, reels, various fly lines, fly boxes, tools, and other essentials this is a fantastic gift. From saltwater exploration to luxury Alaska lodge, this “carry it all” case is the perfect carry-on luggage piece to hold ALL your fly gear.
  2. Yeti Rambler 14 OZ Mug ($25) – The Yeti Rambler mug is the perfect on-the-go container for your favorite drink, hot or cold. Whether it’s that first cup of coffee or that mid-afternoon cocktail on the boat, the rambler is ergonomic, functional, and it looks cool. The smaller 14oz Rambler makes a perfect stocking stuffer.
  3. Goal Zero Venture 30 ($100) – The Venture 30 recharger from Goal Zero is the perfect solution for keeping your small devices charged, no matter the situation. Whether you are at a remote Alaska lodge or on a wilderness float trip, you can charge your camera, gps, or phone with the Venture 30. The unit can be charged by solar or at home.
  4. Orvis Pliers ($105) – The Orvis pliers exude quality. Machined with military grade anodized aluminum, this tool is the last pair of fishing pliers you’ll ever have to buy. The jaws and cutters are replaceable, and it also comes with a leather sheath and lanyard (for those who are apt to butterfingers). Whether you’re on the salt flats or salmon fishing Bristol Bay, these Orvis pliers are an essential tool by your side. They are the perfect legacy gift for the angler in your life.
  5. 4-Day/4-Night Package at Alaska Sportsman’s Lodge ($7,475) – We simply cannot create a holiday wish list without including a trip with us. Our fishing vacations have often been described as life changing, and we certainly believe they are. Our location in Bristol Bay, Alaska is widely known as the most prolific salmon and trout fishery in the world. The salmon arrive here in the millions and our trout grow to massive size. Alaska Sportsman’s Lodge offers a genuine Alaska experience full of wildlife, flight seeing, world-class fishing, 5-star dining, and unforgettable service. Without a doubt, an all-inclusive fishing trip with us would make a fantastic holiday gift.

Fish Alaska Magazine features Alaska Sportsman’s Lodge

February 4, 2025 By Sportsmans Blog

It’s an interesting tale of a kid from Chicago, whose hockey skills brought him to Alaska to play for the University of Anchorage, and then for the Anchorage Aces of the West Coast Hockey League (WCHL).

In the early 90s, Brian started Kraft Adventures, specializing in multiday float trips on popular Southcentral rivers like the Talachulitna, Lake Creek, and Alexander Creek. He quickly realized that he wanted to own a lodge. After running a lodge on the Kvichak River in 1994 and 1995, he was amped and eager to find a lodge to buy or property to lease or buy. Several stops and starts ensued, but Brian was determined, and worked through every problem. By 1997 he had formed a partnership with David Sandlin, found a property to build on, and Alaska Sportsman’s Lodge (ASL) was born. Read more
