The culinary program is world-class. Our professional chefs will create three delicious meals per day for you while here with us.

The location of the lodge is key. We are on the Kvichak River which connects Lake Iliamna (Alaska's largest lake) to Bristol Bay. We have superb fishing right in front of our lodge on the river and we use boats to access the many different fishing spots on the Kvichak. We also have aircraft that will fly you to the numerous nearby rivers to fish for the day.

Our location provides us the unique opportunity to either fish the home water or fly out for the day. The important point is that you have high quality fishing right in front of the lodge should weather prevent you from flying out on a particular day.

Gear Recommendations:

We provide a recommended gear list upon booking a trip to our lodge.

What to Bring:

We provide everything necessary to fish.

Season:

We operate from June 7-October 7 each year.

Species:

We target all five species of Pacific salmon (chinook, sockeye, coho, chum, and pink) as well as rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, Arctic grayling, and Arctic char. We also have excellent bear viewing opportunities.

Region/Terrain:

Alaska Sportsman's Lodge is located on rolling tundra on the banks of the Kvichak River. This area is primarily soft rolling hills with mountain views in the area. We typically fish in mountainous terrain if we are not on the Kvichak. We fish a variety of different river sizes, from ones that you can easily cast across from bank-to-bank, to the Kvichak which is a wide, diverse river that requires a boat. We will walk and wade, drift-fish, float, and use jet boats on a variety of different rivers throughout the region.

Typical Weather:

Weather is hard to predict in Alaska other than to know that it changes quickly. We have long daylight days in June, July, and August. The solar exposure makes a 60-degree day feel like 80! Prepare for wind, rain, and 45 degrees and hope for the best. We do have many glorious days with some fantastic conditions.
