Seasons on the Fly Lodge

Guests fish from Hog Island Skiffs with 30 HP motors and room for up to three fishermen. You get six gallons of gas per day, and the lodge turns you loose to make the most of your fishing adventure. The best part is that you can fish from sun-up until the sun sets and in Alaska in Summer, there are almost 24 hours of daylight.

The fish here are big and plentiful. This is a river that has one of the largest Sockeye Salmon Runs in the world as millions of the Red Salmon swim upstream to spawn. Where there are such high numbers of Salmon, there are big, Fat Trophy Rainbow Trout. The Trout feed non-stop on the Salmon Roe. In addition to Big Rainbow Trout, you can target the Arctic Grayling. These are small, smart fish that average 2-3 pounds and might reach 16-inches in length.

All Summer is Rainbow Trout and Grayling Season: Both of these residents are prolific in the summer months. As long as there are Salmon in the River, the Rainbows and Graylings will be active.

Mid-June - July is Sockeye Salmon Season: Floss for Sockeye Salmon as the river fills up with them. Flossing is a unique experience and if you have not tried it before, you should.

August is Silver Salmon Season: In early August, the Silver Salmon show up. These are the most dynamic fish as they offer an extraordinary fight. Silver Salmon are highly prized for their aerobatics and tenacity.

Expect outstanding fishing with comfortable accommodations. Be sure to ask the lodge about local shopping as you are expected to bring your food and fishing equipment.

As guests of the lodge, you enjoy an Alaskan Island adventure as the lodge is located on an island in the Kvichak River and has room for eight guests. Each room holds two guests and offers hot showers and a fully equipped kitchen. Outside, guests have access to a BBQ. Expect clean, mostly modern, and comfortable accommodations. Guests are expected to bring their food and fishing gear.
