Bear Trail Lodge

Each of the out cabins feature world-class amenities that begin with comfortable beds and luxurious private bathrooms. Each cabin is heated with its one unit and feature comfortable sitting areas.

The main lodge is a place where the common areas offer refined comfort and style. It is also where guests flock to eat the wonderful food prepared by the professional staff. From appetizers to five-star breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. A typical dinner includes headlining food such as NY Strip, Prime Rib, Alaskan Crab Legs, and of course fresh seafood such as salmon and halibut. All paired with wine or beer. Dinner at the Bear Trail Lodge is an event to remember.

Fishing with the Bear Trail Lodge is an individual experience. You and your guide decide how you want to fish and where. The local area is fish-rich and as such you can fish locally or head out in a float plane to target something specific. The Naknek River stretches from Naknek Lake for 35 miles where it empties into Kvichak Bay. These waters are clear stream waters that make up a natural haven for Trout, Grayling, and even Northern Pike. Those are in addition to the seasonal influx of King Salmon, Red Salmon & Silver Salmon. Throughout the fishing season there is plenty of fishing to have here.

The Naknek River has a seasonal run of all five species of Salmon as well as a healthy population of Trophy Rainbow Trout. If you want to fish for Kings then, that is easy to achieve from mid-June. During mid-June on through July guests target king salmon and rainbows. 30 pound kings are not uncommon. As June begins to fade into July, the Sockeye salmon infiltrate the rivers in massive numbers. It is estimated that 2-3 million Sockeye Salmon return to the Bristol Bay Water Shed each year and 20K swim past the lodge each day during the migration. Sockeye or Red Salmon are one of the best eating of all the Salmon species. From the last week of July through the end of summer the Tiger, Pink and Silver Salmon appear in the rivers. Silvers are amazing sports fish. They fight the good fight. They are smart too. Give them any slack, and they will do their best to break your line. August is the perfect month for silvers.
