Trip #OI-DO4
Alaska Flyout Fishing Lodge
This 5-Star flyout Alaska fishing lodge on the Naknek River in the Bristol Bay region is located smack dab in the beating heart of the largest salmon runs in the world.
Situated about seven miles downstream from Naknek Lake on the Naknek River, this flyout fishing lodge offers anglers access to all five species of Pacific salmon and trophy rainbow trout. Right next door is Katmai National Park and Preserve, which contains such famous rivers as the Brooks, Moraine, Battle, Contact and Kulik to name a few. You can leave the crowds behind with fly outs to all the rivers in Katmai as well as the more remote rivers on the Alaskan Peninsula!
Daily fly-outs to many rivers located in and around Katmai National Park and the Alaskan Peninsula.
This is a fly-out lodge and guests utilize three different airplanes to access the many different fishing locations. Jet boats stashed at various locations within our 150 mile operating radius, rafts that your guide can pack into small remote streams, as well as a fleet of jet boats that sit in front of the lodge ready to fish their home waters. This gives you the guest the option of a dynamic trip with the ability to fish new watershed each day.
The main thing that separates this fishing program from others is the fact that you design your own trips. There isn’t any set destination list – we make recommendations based on your goals and desires and you make the decision where you want to go the next day!
The opportunities and amount of water to fish from this lodge are endless.
