This area includes the vast Katmai National Park, the 1.2-million-acre Becharof Wildlife Refuge, and the 1.6-million-acre Wood-Tikchik State Park. Known collectively as "Bristol Bay," it features Alaska's most legendary trout and salmon streams, including the world’s largest sockeye salmon run. The lodge provides top-notch fly fishing and light tackle spin fishing for all five species of Pacific salmon and native species.
Fish iconic Bristol Bay rivers via floatplane during your stay. Riverfront on the Naknek, this premier fly and light tackle fishing lodge pursues five Pacific salmon species, rainbows, char, dollies, grayling, lake trout, and pike. Your home river is the #1 rated rainbow river in the state!
Built in 2022, it was designed and furnished with Scandinavian design elements. They only take 8 each week so you’ll have the opportunity to create the intimate experiences and relationships. The lodge has 5 guest cabins in various configurations for a comfortable guest experience.
Fly: 6 and 8 wt. fly rods or 5 and 7 wt. work well all season. Conventional: Lightweight rod/reel combo for smaller fish and a medium action rod (6–7 ft) for salmon. The lightweight reel will hold 150 yards of 6–8 pound mono. Salmon reels will hold at least 150 yards of 12–15-pound mono.
Fly commercially to Anchorage where you will connect to the town of King Salmon. You will then be driven a short distance to the Lodge on the famous Naknek River. The Naknek is the only connection between Bristol Bay and the massive Naknek Lake drainage, thus, each year millions of salmon return to the drainage to spawn must swim right past the Lodge. With all of these salmon, the native rainbow trout and arctic grayling grow to unbelievable size. Their program combines fly-out fishing to different rivers throughout the area to add diversity. Two lodge chefs will dazzle your taste buds.
4-to-6-day trips from $10,500 to $14,999 pp. All-inclusive fly-out fishing packages provide all your fishing gear and commercial air from King Salmon/Anchorage post trip. Chef-prepared meals and comfy double-occupancy cabins round out the package.
