Meet our staff, boat captains and guides:
Todd, (aka LCT), first visited Icy Bay Lodge in 2010 and it was like walking into the dream he always had about Alaska. 4 years later the opportunity to buy Icy Bay Lodge became a reality and he jumped on it.
Ruth, (aka Ruthy), was not sure what to expect but once she arrived to Icy Bay Lodge she also fell in love with the exceptional, unique and remote place that is Icy Bay Lodge.
And now they are happy to have the opportunity to share this experience with folks from around the globe.
Greg, (aka Mr. Greg), is our chef extraordinaire and all around great guy. Greg has been with Icy Bay Lodge going on 4 years and trust us when we say, you will not leave our lodge having lost weight. Greg is an avid outdoorsman and passionate about what he does and how he does it.
Greg’s meals, care and overall great demeanor has our guests not just talking about the fishing, scenery and surroundings but the fantastic food they enjoyed.
John, (aka John, John Hagen), is the longest standing, and not just because he is 6’7” tall, first mate and fishing guide at Icy Bay Lodge. John and the lodge go back to the beggining when the glaciers started to recede forming Icy Bay back in 1910.
John has been a fishing and water fowl hunting guide in the lower 48 and a guide at Icy Bay Lodge going on 119 years give or take 70 years. He knows our waters, rivers and bays more than anyone and will always get you on the fish.
Shane, (aka Popeye), is our boat captain, fishing guide and operations mainstay. He is always at the ready to fix just about anything, help anywhere that is needed and is our go to guy for just about everything.
Popeye lives and breathes fishing as he and his wife Samantha own and operate Northwoods Fish Houses in MN when not at the lodge.
Brutus, (aka Brutus), is our local that sometimes watches what we are using to catch Silvers. He always out fishes everyone, loves sushi, does not abide by any fishing regulations, never gets his AK fishing license, stiffs the staff on tips, and basically does not give a s**t about anyone but himself.
But we love him and that is all that matters.
Harlow, (aka Hank the Tank), is our newest guide, or more specifically our “spirit guide”. First grandson of LCT & Ruthy, son of Cassidy and Samantha Robertson, he promises to be gentle with all our clients but full disclosure, he has only a liquid diet right now which we are working on.
Welcome to the Icy Bay Lodge family Hank!
