Kanektok River Alaska Flyout Fishing Lodge

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 Alaska is where this fixed-base tent lodge is located. It’s an incredibly productive fishery and folks who know call it a ‘fish factory.‘

WHEN TO FISH AT THIS KANEKTOK RIVER ALASKA LODGE

The best time to go fishing in Alaska is up for debate, but here are the best Kanektok River Alaska times.

• Most anglers, like to catch a variety of fish species – mid June, through August, you can fish trout, dolly varden, grayling, and salmon.
• The King salmon run is the second week of June through the middle of July.
• Silver salmon are best in late July through August.

CATCH A VARIETY OF SPECIES

All season long there are Rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, grayling, and various salmon species. King salmon are available from the third week of June through end middle of July, and silver salmon are a target from late July through the end of August.

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.

Both salmon and Rainbow trout fishing can be done directly from the boat.

Fishing from the boat is fun, but wading gravel bars and side-channels is awesome as well.

• For salmon fishing, you will anchor up and swing flies and 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.

SPECTACULAR SALMON FISHING

The Kanektok River Alaska has some of the best King Salmon fishing in the world!

When the Kings are running up the Kanektok River, the fly fishing is incredible. 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.

RAINBOW TROUT

The Rainbow trout fishing on the Kanektok River can be absolutely amazing!

The Rainbow trout in the Kanektok River 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.
