The Yakutat Lodge Hosts Hooked on Healing Members for an Unforgettable Alaska Experience
For the second year in a row, The Yakutat Lodge welcomed members of Hooked on Healing to Yakutat, Alaska, for a four-day, three-night stay and the opportunity to experience steelhead fishing on the Situk River.
This trip offered more than time on the water. It gave our members a chance to step away, connect with one another, and experience the healing power of the outdoors in one of Alaska’s most remarkable places.
The Situk River is truly a special place. Even when the weather did not fully cooperate, The Yakutat Lodge team and guides adjusted, helping our members experience the surrounding area and the incredible wildlife that calls it home. During the trip, members saw a black bear, an otter, a mink, a moose, and the many bald eagles that live along the river.
Hooked on Healing would like to extend our sincere appreciation to The Yakutat Lodge and the entire team who helped make this trip possible. Special thanks to the Stamper family, owners of The Yakutat Lodge, John Cole, Chief Financial Officer, Mason, General Manager, Cody Taggart, DeShane, Tatianna, Brandon, Devin, Ed, Tyler, and our fishing guides, Adam, Mike, and Justin, for helping ensure our members felt supported, welcomed, and well cared for throughout the experience.
This opportunity reflects the heart of Hooked on Healing’s mission: getting veterans outside, building connection, creating space for friendship and healing, and offering experiences that stay with our members long after the trip is over.
