In addition to award-winning fishing, the likes that include Salmon and Rainbow Trout, the Alaska Sportsman Lodge experience includes other exciting and sensory stimulating activities you can take part in, such as river float trips, sightseeing, and bear viewing adventures.

This river is the only connection between Lake Iliamna and Bristol Bay. The significance of this is that all of the millions of Alaskan salmon that return each year to the Lake Iliamna drainage must pass in front of our lodge.

The outfitter is a fantastic man and incredibly hard working and knowledgeable, there is no doubt he will do everything within his power to make peoples hunts successful and enjoyable. I plan to do it again with him next year for sure.

Our hunt was excellent.

We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.

Jesse Neveau

What an amazing experience!

The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
