World-class fishing in the heart of the Alaskan Wilderness.
ALASKA - To the fisherman this word conjures up images of mighty rivers flowing down from snow-capped mountains across desolate tundra, of leaping salmon and big rainbow trout, and of abundant wildlife from the mighty brown bear to the majestic eagles circling overhead. Few places capture this better than the Alagnak River, located in the heart of southwest Alaska’s Bristol Bay watershed. This region is home to both the world’s largest runs of wild salmon and Alaska’s finest trophy rainbow trout fishery.
The Alagnak River meanders 67 miles from the two lakes on the northern end of the Katmai National Preserve to Bristol Bay, and is properly designated as “wild and scenic” by the National Park Service. Access is only by floatplane, resulting in a true wilderness fishing experience. You will share the river with many bear, moose, beavers, bald eagles, and other indigenous wildlife.
The Alagnak Lodge sits atop a bluff overlooking the river, just 5 miles inland from the mouth. Our location in the tidal section of the river is unsurpassed, some of the best salmon fishing in Alaska is literally right on our doorstep. At the Alagnak Lodge, you don't have to travel to the fish, they come to you! Each tide brings another batch of chrome-bright salmon, fresh out of the ocean, and full of energy for a fight! Whether you are a novice of expert fisherman, feel the thrill as huge salmon and trophy rainbow trout accept your offering. Our experienced, professional US Coastguard licensed guides will share their knowledge and techniques and take you to the best fishing spots, often within just a few hundred yards of the lodge.
Within sight of the lodge, and just a few minute boat ride from our dock, you can be fishing the best king holes on the river, or wading the best sandbars for silvers and chums. With much of the best fishing so close to the lodge, it’s easy to return to the lodge for a hot meal, much appreciated during inclement weather! Trips upriver to the braids and optional flyouts give you the chance to chase the famous trophy rainbows and other native species such as grayling and char, providing the perfect complement to the fishing opportunities close to the lodge.
For over twenty years, the Alagnak Lodge has provided our guests with excellent fishing, and the best of Alaskan hospitality. We know what it takes to make a great Alaskan experience.
