Alaska Adventures
Through Chris's relationship with Scott Haugen and Becharof Lodge, small groups occasionally have the opportunity to head north for an Alaska fishing adventure.
These trips are hosted by the Alaska lodge—not operated by McKenzie Tackle—but Chris can help connect interested anglers and may join the group when schedules line up.
