Alaska Fly Fishing Lodge: Archives / February 2013

The Alagnak River is known in Alaska as being one of the best salmon and trout rivers in the state.  The Alagnak River actually flows from two major lakes, the Nonvianuk and Kukaklek lakes.  These two lakes and their tributaries are known for their Alaska trophy trout fishing.  Part of why these tributaries support a great population of Alaska trophy trout is due in part to the million plus sockeye that swim past our Alaska fly fishing lodge every day starting June 29th through about July 15.  These sockeye salmon of the Alagnak River spawn above lakes as part of their life cycle, and the tributaries...

Our Alaska fly fishing lodge will be turning twenty years old this year.  We have been on the Alagnak River in Bristol bay for a long time.  We originally started out taking only six guests a week, targeting Alaska salmon and trout on the fly all summer long.  We eventually moved up our capacity to take ten guests in ninety five.   Well, there have been a lot of changes over the years to the lodge, but we still only take ten guests a week and we have only added to the comfort level of our guests.  There is a reason we have an eighty to ninety percent return rate of guests at our Alaska fly fishing...

Our Alagnak River fly fishing lodge is situated on a bank overlooking the Alagnak River right in the middle of the tidewater section.  What this means is that as all five species of Pacific salmon enter the river daily on the tides, they are within a ten minute boat ride either up or downriver, depending on the height of the tide.  We, at our Algnak River fly fishing lodge, fish this stretch of water almost every day of the season.  We capitalize daily on the fresh salmon that are streaming into the Alagnak River.  From the first week of July, til the end of August, we can fish from our Alagnak...

Our Alaska fly fishing lodge is considered in the industry to be a deluxe tent lodge.  No, we do not have solid walls on all our buildings.  We use weatherport tents at our Alaska fly fishing lodge, that are on elevated carpeted wood floors.  These tents are considered to be "tent cabins".   These tent cabins are what makes up a deluxe tent lodge. The thought of staying in a "tent" sounds pretty rustic.  And Alaska can have some pretty cold weather in the summer.  So, we make these tent cabins as comfortable as possible at our Alagnak River Alaska fly fishing lodge.   With carpeted...

Our true Alagnak River fly fishing lodge, is almost full for the upcoming summer.  We only have spots left in the last few weeks of the summer.  These weeks, starting August fifth through the twelfth, and August twelfth through the nineteenth are the two primary silver salmon weeks.   With these weeks, we also experience the highest catch rates of the summer.  The reason is, we have the second run of the chum salmon, combined with the silver salmon run.  This means that the daily catch rates on the fly for salmon are as high as you can handle!  The screaming runs and power of the chum salmon,...

Taking an Alaska fly fishing lodge trip is at the top of several anglers bucket list.  A fun, sure thing Alaska fly fishing trip is hard to come by.   With all the Alaska lodges boasting that they have the best fishing, the best lodge, the best fly fishing available in Alaska, it is hard to trust anyone.   The truth is, there is great fishing in Alaska, and all lodges have at one time or another, some really good fly fishing.  The other truth is, within a season in Alaska, it is hard to offer great fishing every week of the summer. At our Alaska fly fishing lodge, we are only open for 7 weeks. ...

Our Alaska fly fishing lodge is located on the Alagnak River.  The Alagnak River is one of the top five salmon rivers in the world.  It is no wonder that with so many salmon in the Bristol Bay area, the Alagnak River continues to please so many fly fishing enthusiasts every year. With all the lodges that there are in Alaska, there are many lodges that do not have fly fishing right out their door.  With inclement weather in Alaska a common thing, it is hard for many lodges to provide their guests' with great fly fishing every day of their stay.  At our location on the Alagnak River,  we do not have...
