Each cabin has a full kitchen, private bath, TV, daily maid service, and linens. The cabins are non-smoking, but the grounds and porches are smoke friendly.
Fishing with Riddle's Fishing Lodge
The lodge fishes along the Kenai River and the Kasilof River and provides licensed guides with a lot of experience on both of these rivers. Guests can opt for drifting or shore fishing from either power boats or drift boats. Four of the five species of Pacific Salmon are available on these rivers. Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden are also in good supply.
Other fishing options include fly out trips with guide service where guests can fish in the remote areas with hidden lakes and rivers that rarely see a fisherman. There is a saltwater option that is a board 28-32 foot cabin boats in Cook Inlet. Salter water fish include Salmon and Halibut.

Plan Your Trip around the Fish Runs
For Halibut, the Cook Inlet run begins in mid-May and runs through mid-September. This is also a good time for Saltwater Salmon fishing.
Rainbow Trout are present in the two rivers all season long. Their run peaks in July with the arrival of the Sockeye Salmon.
King Salmon fishing begins Mid-May and runs through July. In early May, the kings gather in Cook Inlet as they prepare to enter the freshwater rivers. So early May to the first part of June is excellent Saltwater fishing for both Halibut and King Salmon. The salmon attract the Halibut.
The Sockeye Salmon or Reds show up around mid-June and run through the first week of August. The Sockeye Salmon are one of the largest runs in all of Alaska. The fish show up by the millions and in the shallow clear water streams the rivers look red from the color of the fish. You could bend down and pick them up with your hands. This is also the prime bear season as the bear come down to feast on the Red Salmon.
The Silver Salmon being to appear by mid-July and the stay through the end of September. Silvers are known as the fighting salmon because they put up such a fight when you hook them. They breach, roll, and run as they fight the hook. If you love adventurous fishing, try a Silver Salmon trip.
Overall, expect a good lodge with comfortable cabins and amazing fishing opportunities.
