About us
Almost all the Alagnak River and its headwaters are contained within the wilderness areas of Katmai National Park and The Alagnak Wild River. There are no roads to the Alagnak River and it is difficult to reach by water, so the Alagnak is generally accessed only by aircraft. This, and the total lack of any sort of development ensures the Alagnak River remains pristine wilderness with few fishermen. The lower river is an alluvial plain; the river meanders with channels running from eight to twelve feet deep through the silty sandbars. The returning king, red, chum, silver and pink salmon use the daily tides to propel themselves over the sandbars at the mouth of the river. We are five miles upstream from Bristol Bay and the tides can raise the river up to 10 feet at our location. The fish often linger in the lower river as they acclimate back to fresh water before pushing themselves upriver to return to their spawning grounds.
At the Alagnak Lodge fishermen of all skill levels consistently catch fish. We use a variety of fishing equipment and techniques depending on the circumstances and will adapt to your choice of fly, spinning or casting rods, reels, lines and terminal tackle.
King salmon prefer to stay in the deeper water, and most of the king fishing takes place from the boat. The sockeye, chums, pinks and silvers and native stream fish will be on or along the edges of the many sandbars or banks and are targeted mostly with fly or spinning gear. The sandbars and banks can be fished from the boat or by wading.
