Great Alaska Adventure Lodge

Fly Fishing Trip or Lodge Details:

If there is a place in your mind's eye that can clearly picture the perfect Alaska- and you yearn for it- then come with us to Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. It is all here on the Kenai, exactly as you pictured it: hundreds of square miles of impossible beauty and bounty; a seemingly endless expanse of rolling forests, mountain meadows, hidden lakes, whispering streams, turquoise glaciers - and all of it teeming with rare species of North American wildlife, including some of the largest game fish on earth.

FISHING: Fish for Alaska's world record King Salmon, acrobatic Silver Salmon, feisty Reds or Pinks, trophy Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, Char and Arctic Grayling in many freshwater areas while giant Pacific Halibut, Ling Cod, Rockfish and Salmon await you in Alaska's Premier saltwater fishing grounds.

Sockeye Salmon (June and July) may be Alaska's most amazing sport fish. The first run migrates up the Kenai to the Russian, however it's the second run, in July, which our guests get excited about. Thousands upon thousands gang up in front of the lodge and make for great fun in the evenings after the King trips are over (in fact, some guests choose to target the Sockeye rather than the Kings!) A great bonus species in July, their eggs and decomposing bodies provide nutrients for the fat rainbows we love in August and September.

The area and its surrounding rivers consistently produce some of Alaska's most impressive Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden catches. The best fishing is August and September, with good catches available from the middle of June on. As they are a resident species (other than the steelhead), we practice catch and release on all trout species. Vying for the Kings for most popular sport fish in Alaska, the Rainbow combines with the excellent Silver salmon for great late season angling right up to the end of September. Silver salmon are always a favorite of fly-fishermen for their spectacular aerobatics.

Great Alaska's unique location gives access to unbelievable fly-fishing just feet from your room, 24 hours a day (it seldom gets too dark to fish.)
