First time hunting with Jason Dyke at Golden Eagle but he had come highly recommended by some big names in the outdoors. After arriving literally in the middle of nowhere by float plane I was surprised to see a modern lodge and cabins with running water, bathrooms and showers with hot water and all! It was like staying in a regular resort cabin, not a remote hunting and fishing lodge. The meals and service were top notch and almost made me want to pass on the hunting to lounge around on the deck and look out on the lake. Jason was very personable and knowledgeable. A young go getter he went out of his way to make the trip enjoyable and memorable. We were hunting trophy black bears and passed up bears in the 6ft range to have a chance at the 7+ foot bears in the area. We finally got a chance but missed the shot. Wonderful bear too, it was simply the largest bear I have ever seen and I've seen a bunch of them.

We also took some time to catch some Northern Pike while we were there. The first cast caught a 48 inch fish! It never slowed down either.

This is a first class operation with outstanding people. The bears are HUGE and the pike are too!

If you want a top notch experience I highly recommend Golden Eagle Lodge.
