ALAGNAK RIVER
ALASKA

Acrobatic silver salmon, electrified
rainbow trout, beautifully colored char, and grayling join together
with the breathtaking beauty of the Alaskan Wilderness to create,
in our estimation, one of the finest fly angling destinations in
the world.
Bordering the Katmai National Park and
Preserve, the Alagnak River offers to the angler true world class
fishing for bountiful populations of Alaska's native trout and salmon.
It also is home to a bold assortment of wildlife including grizzly
bear, moose, caribou and bald eagles offering unending spectacular
wildlife photographic and viewing opportunities throughout your
stay.
The nearest camp is over
34 miles away. There is no float access for the fly-out lodges.
This means we do not compete for water with any other camp. None
of the fly-out lodges are able to access the 30 mile stretch of
the Alagnak we will be fishing.
The river is medium sized
and fast running. The majority of the fishing is done on small islands
while wading shallow gravel bars and tributaries.
Over 200 miles of river
tributaries and braids contain healthy populations of four of the
five species of Pacific salmon and other native species:
Chinook (King) Salmon |
Coho (Silver) Salmon |
Chum (Dog) Salmon |
Pink (Humpy) Salmon |
Leopard Rainbow Trout |
Arctic Char |
Grayling |

with each two guests having either their own private carpeted log
