Erik and Martha Salitan

Erik has lived in Alaska for his entire adult life. The choice to be a guide and outfitter is a natural extension of who he is. Erik has over twenty years of guiding experience that includes the Iliamna region and areas across Alaska. He is also a pilot and member of numerous conservation groups. A degree in Natural Resources Conservation, knowledge of wildlife biology, and living year round in the Alaska bush give Erik the edge to provide his guests with a genuine Alaskan Experience. Martha is a lifelong Alaskan, born and raised in Iliamna. Martha is a second generation sport fishing operator, having worked in her mother and father's fishing lodge her entire life. Her knowledge of the area, the lake, and all its tributaries is invaluable. Martha is always present, facilitating any detail, cooking delicious meals, and attending to any and all needs of her guests. Outside of her day-to-day work in operating the lodge, Martha is a full-time mother, and in charge of keeping Erik, and all the other guides in line.
