Alaska Sportsman’s Lodge, AK

We specifically picked our location on the Kvichak River to build our lodge in 1997. We built this lodge from the ground, up. The location, is at the head of the “braids” on the Kvichak River four miles downstream from its origin at Lake Iliamna. It’s perfectly-situated to enjoy unsurpassed fishing opportunities for salmon and Alaska’s largest wild rainbow trout. We have the unique advantage of having world-class fishing right outside our front door by boat, as well as many nearby streams that we fly to via our float-equipped aircraft. Our guests will always have great fishing days and will not lose fishing time due to weather that prevents flying.

We adhere to our commitment to excellence. In essence, we are committed to ensuring that close attention is paid to all the little details that make a big difference in your trip. We have professionals (guides, pilots, chefs, hospitality personnel) who are committed to customer service and ensuring you have a safe, high-quality fishing adventure while with us.

We pride ourselves on retaining staff—not an easy task as we are a seasonal operation that runs from June 1-October 7. Yet, in 23 years of operation we are proud to boast that we have not lost one guide who has chosen to leave Alaska Sportsman’s Lodge to go work for another operation in Alaska. We have many guides who have been working with us for 8 or more years including one who has been with us for 17 seasons! We operate with a one-guide-per-two-angler program.

We are in a remote, pristine setting with no infrastructure—there are no roads near us. We fish a variety of rivers located near our lodge including many inside Katmai National Park.
