| Pacific Salmon & Trout |
Alaska has some of the most exciting freshwater fishing in the world with its huge runs of
Pacific salmon. Each year the 5 different species of salmon begin their journey through
the river systems returning to the spawning grounds. The migration starts with the
biggest salmon, the chinook (king salmon) and continues through to the smaller but more
acrobatic sockeye and to what the Alaskans regard as the prize fish, the silver salmon.
Add to this the possibility of struggling with hard fighting rainbow trout and dolly varden
and you are in fishing paradise. Wildlife abounds throughout the remote Alaskan
wilderness and it is not unusual to see moose, caribou, bald eagles and the occasional bear
while out fishing. |

lakes. The lodge caters to 12 anglers and there are six private cabins with bathrooms
