Trip Taken: Alaska Salmon Fishing Lodge on the Alagnak River

Visited Alagnak Lodge on a 5-day fishing trip in July of 2018. Very nicely done.

The owner, Tony, was very involved, very patient and detailed with pre-trip questions with a gear list, and planning as well as being on-site through out the season. Facilities and food were as advertised so there were no bad surprises. Fishing was via selection of (2) of three (4) sessions which works well.

We fished with the same guide every session at a ratio of (1) to (2) so there was a lot of personal attention.

The Alagnak River was easy to fish with fly, spey, spin options from the boat or from gravel bars with easy wading and access to the fish. Caught the end of the Kings, and hit the peak of the chums, which are a blast to catch as well as had some big rainbows thrown in. Lots of wildlife, and it appears that there is a seamless transition and overlap between species of salmon (King/Chum/Silver), (I’m going back this summer for 8 days for Silver salmon), so it looks like there is always something going on.

Tony has put some thought into providing for non-fishing spouses, and return customers which works well. Inbound/outbound is thru King Salmon, which does by nature create some down time, but that can be expected as normal for travel anywhere in Alaska.

  • We caught the end of the King run, and hit the peak of the chums, which are a blast to catch as well as had some big Rainbows thrown in. Over all, the lodge has my unreserved recommendation.
  • My outfitter’s communication before, during and after the trip was perfect, I couldn’t have asked for more.
  • My guide was amazing.
  • Physically, the trip was easy.
  • The food and accommodations were good.

There's a reason I keep booking this steelhead fishing trip!
Second time I’ve done this particular trip. The steelhead run was awesome! The food was even better than the first time, which is hard to imagine, and our guide is the best there is! If catching big fish is your thing I highly recommend booking through Outdoors International.

I expected big trout on this trip based on all the stories I've read over the years, and I was not disappointed! I broke my own personal best rainbow trout record at least SIX times on this trip, with the biggest being a 16 pound beauty.

I will be going again soon!
