Northwoods Lodge is a remote fly-in operation on the Skwentna River, reachable only by air from Anchorage, and hires guides for a season running roughly May 25 to September 15. The posting asks for working knowledge of Alaska fishing in both spin and fly disciplines, and specifically names powerboat handling with jet-drive motors and johnboats, which is how guests reach the fishing water. First aid and CPR certification is required, as is an Alaska Coast Guard OUPV or six-pack licence. The lodge states the package as a monthly salary plus round-trip airfare from Anchorage, employee housing, all meals through the summer and gratuities, but does not publish a wage figure. Applicants email a resume with at least two character references.
