Species

The Kvichak River produces more 28″+ Rainbow Trout than any other river in Alaska, with some reaching up to 18 pounds. This is the ultimate destination for trophy trout fishing. Fishing is spectacular all season.

Alaska’s most stunning fish in full spawning colors, Arctic Char are aggressive and abundant—catch 30+ per rod on some of our best rivers. They grow to impressive sizes, with our lodge record at 36 inches!

Silvers are among the most aggressive, hardest-fighting salmon. Known for explosive runs and aerial displays, they make for thrilling fly fishing. We target Coho from late June to early September in prime river systems.

Often overlooked, the Grayling are eager to take a fly and provide incredible action. Though rarely exceeding 20 inches, they are plentiful, beautifully colored, and make for a great shore-lunch sandwich.

A member of the char family, Dolly Varden vary greatly—some spend their entire lives in freshwater, others migrate to saltwater before returning to spawn. Known for their brilliant coloration, they are one of Alaska’s most prominent fish.

Lake trout in Alaska inhabit deep, cold lakes and are prized for their size, often reaching over 20 pounds. The best fishing occurs in spring and fall when they move into shallower waters to feed or spawn.

The largest and most powerful salmon, Kings are relentless fighters. Prepare for 15-30 minute battles as these beasts test your skills and gear. We target Kings in three different rivers, maximizing your chances for a trophy catch.

Home to the world’s largest Sockeye run, the Kvichak River sees 3-5 million fish annually. Averaging 6-8 pounds, they are widely regarded as the best-tasting salmon. Watching 20,000 Sockeye swim past per hour is an unforgettable sight!

Chum Salmon are massive, powerful, and underrated. Their green and purple spawning stripes and large teeth make for incredible photos. While fresh Chum can be great smoked, they turn inedible quickly after entering freshwater.

The smallest of Alaska’s salmon, Pinks run every other year and appear in huge numbers. Though not ideal for eating, they are aggressive, fun to catch, and provide endless action when the run is strong.

The Northern Pike in Alaska is a powerful, aggressive predator found in our regions. Their large size and texture is often exciting for the common angler. Spring and early summer are the best times to fish, as pike become highly active in shallow waters.​
