This lodge is a premium fishing lodge located 350 miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska, in the Bristol Bay Drainage. Bristol Bay-area rivers and lakes, like the world famous Nushagak, are renowned for their runs of wild Pacific salmon and thriving resident populations of rainbow trout, arctic char, arctic grayling, northern pike, lake trout and dolly varden.

The waters surrounding the lodge are a fishing paradise. The diversity is incredible, the productivity exceptional, and experience is singular and special in every way.  The lodge packages, for example, feature daily fly-out fishing excursions that deliver guests to the best fishing in the area. That means one day you can be fly fishing for trophy rainbows, the next day drift bait for monster King salmon, and a day later be on the hottest pike bite you have ever experienced.

Add to that all the other possibilities. They are located right on the shoreline of Lake Aleknagik just a short drive and a boat ride from Dillingham. The lake and some of its tributaries boast fabulous fishing for char and rainbows while, some of the more remote waters they fish, are home to gigantic grayling and big rainbows that by any standard are genuine trophies.

How much fish and what kind can I take home?
Each client is allowed one 50 pound box of Salmon only.  They practice a strict catch and release policy on all resident species (Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, Arctic Char, Grayling, Pike and Lake Trout).

For King Salmon, the state regulates the number of Kings you can harvest.

What is the season?
The lodge is only open during prime fishing months and the prime weather months.  Any time from June-September is excellent it just depends on your activity desires.  If you are specially seeking a certain species of fish then sometimes are better than others.
