World Class fly fishing lodge in Western Alaska on the Kanektok River for salmon and big rainbow trout.
Does fast paced fishing for silver salmon sound good to you? This flyout fishing lodge in Alaska offers incredible fly fishing for rainbow trout, silver salmon, king salmon and more…The Kanektok River in Western Alaska is where this fixed-base tent lodge is located, and it is known for all five species of Pacific salmon, rainbow trout, dolly varden and grayling.
No matter your background, we’re pretty sure you’ll have a blast. You’ll be fishing within eight miles of the saltwater, so the fish are bright, fresh and VERY aggressive. You’ll be in for a battle, and they are jumpers.

- Comfortable but casual accommodations.

Some of the best King Salmon fishing in the world!
When the Kings are running, fly fishing is incredible, because they’ll CRUSH swung flies (bring your spey rod if you have one, but it isn’t necessary). These monsters are hot, and it’s a different experience than what you’ll get in other rivers where you use upriver nymphing techniques.
Go in July for the Salmon Grand Slam!
If you go in late July, you’ll have a good chance at the Salmon Grand Slam – all five species of Pacific salmon, all caught on flies, all on the same day.
Both salmon and trout fishing can be done directly from the boat. For salmon, you will anchor up and swing flies, back troll plugs. When you’re after rainbows, you’ll fish ‘drift boat style’ being rowed by your guide. This is a great way to cover water. Fishing from the boat is fun, but wading gravel bars and side-channels is awesome as well.
This flyout Kanektok River fishing lodge offers spectacular Rainbow Trout fishing.
- The Rainbow trout are big, and they hammer the flesh, egg, sculpin and leech patterns!
- You can even ‘mouse’ for them with giant dry flies that imitate mice and voles.
- If you like to have fun, and who doesn’t, mousing should be on your short list.
