The Deep Creek Fishing Club – A Decades-Long Alaskan Legacy

Deep Creek Fishing Club began with the Lighthouse property on the edge of the bluff that overlooks Deep Creek. Three small cabins housed a total of 6 guests and meals were taken in the base of the lighthouse. During these years, the Moes shaped and honed their fishing program that is still in use today. Whilst guest lodging was comparatively rustic at the Lighthouse, many a guest still speak of how intimate and cozy their experience was. The favorite memory? Using an outhouse for ablutions the first 2 years. “The best view  in th house!”  (Regular bathrooms were installed in 1994).  

In 2000, the Moes were able to realize their log-lodge dream, breaking ground in April that year. They built the new lodge throughout the summer whilst continuing to run the Lighthouse operation. The oceanfront log lodge has 9 fireplaces and offers stunning views of the volcanoes and the Inlet.  Three duplex cabins cater exclusively to parties up to 12. 
Steve Moe grew up in Alaska, enjoying many fishing and hunting adventures with his father from a very young age. The love of all these experiences and a desire to share them with others, inspired him to become a fishing guide in 1978. He obtained his US Coast Guard Captain’s license in 1981 and has been successfully guiding salt and freshwater anglers for 43 years.
Vivian Moe came to the Last Frontier state in 1994, keen to embrace the adventurous spirit that Alaska offered.  With a background in administration, a love of nature and a heart for service, she gladly joined Steve in creating the experience that is today’s Deep Creek Fishing Club. She handles all the details so that each guest can enjoy the lodge and its surroundings, its fine dining, great fishing, and unparalleled personal service.
