Dear Haydu Family,
Many thanks once again for an excellent, truly Alaska fishing experience! This was our groups fourth summer of fishing with you, and we are looking forward to many more.
You have made Kingfisher Lodge exceptional in every way, from the transportation to and from the lodge, to the clean and well-served accommodations, to the excellent cuisine, to the boats and knowledgeable, personable, and helpful fishing guides. It is a superb combination that leaves us only one thing to do: enjoy the fishing!
Looking forward to seeing you next summer,

Finally got caught up with spraying soybeans today, so wanted to send you a note to thank-you for one of the best vacations Nancy and I have ever been on. When we were asked to come along with the group I said yes immediately but had reservations about Nancy ever wanting to go fishing. She’s a shopper and likes the city! I’d been to Alaska once before and fished the Homer and Seward area. I said upon my return then that I would someday like to take Nancy along to see the awesome beauty of Alaska.
I never expected to meet such a nice family on my next trip. You and your girls work very hard to give all guests the time of their lives. Your work ethic is a true inspiration to all who visit your beautiful lodge. The lodge is the best! Service is the best! And the hospitality is the best! We could not be happier.
God Bless You and your Family and Thank-You again for a really really memorable time.

P.S. Had Coho on the grill tonight. Delicious!!!!!!!
I have been hearing about Kingfisher Lodge for the past five years and now finally made it. Words did not describe the experience. Great weather, even better fishing, but the best hospitality. Thanks for the great time.

See you again soon,

Leave it to the Haydus!
I'm sure very few other angling experiences can compare with mine. My first day in Alaskan waters ever to fish and Chuck graciously leads me to a 58# king and a 140# halibut! Unbelievable! The real highlights of my trip were accumulated over time. The time spent over three days with my father, the incredible scenery & wildlife we took in with awe and the feeling like I had found a real "Alaskan Gold Nugget" called Kingfisher Resort!

Dear Chuck,
2008 - We want to thank you, your family and staff for the great fishing experience we had the first week of August. We have fished in Canada and Alaska over the last twenty years, but nothing compares with the fishing at Kingfisher Lodge. The friendly service, clean accommodations and delicious food were beyond expectations.
After fishing with you the first several hours, your skill in how to fish and where to fish were very evident. We're very pleased with your lodge, the amount of fish we caught and of course the excellent weather you provided. We speak for the rest of our group as well.
We are all looking forward to next year with you.
Thanks Again,
Bob Elderking

Just to say thank you for the unique experience you honored our group with. Your lodge, your location your view, your eagles, your wonderful meals, all of your hard work and mostly of all your incredible fishing was appreciated by us all.
Thank you for opening your arms to us and caring for us like family…this is what sets you apart from all the others.
Until next time. Stay well, take care of each other.
Happy waters,

Fabulous just doesn’t quite cover it! I don’t know if I can wait a year to come back. When Chuck broke the bat on Monty’s fish, I have a memory and a souvenir to remind me of a fantastic trip and experience. See you next time.

I could not add one thing after reviewing the past pages of the guest log. This will be a memory I will always have and think of one great family God has put on this earth.

This is the 3rd year and still it is the most outstanding fishing trip anyone could expect! My good friends from Las Vegas kept telling me they knew the best place to go, after a few conversations about where we had been we realized we went to the same place.
Your whole family makes this place what it is #1. This is the third year of many that I hope to experience with you.
Thank You,

A wonderful time!! Amazing fishing, food, and scenery, it is difficult to imagine a better fishing and relaxing time. We especially enjoyed the way your entire family pulls together to produce the complete angling experience.

It keeps getting better each year and the second trip each year better than the first trip! You made confirmed fishermen out of my son and grandson. Thanks a million!
