About Aleknagik Lodge

Come and join us for the fishing adventure of a lifetime at Aleknagik Island Lodge. You will experience outstanding sport fishing in a beautiful location, far from the crowds in the Bristol Bay region of Alaska. Our lodge is located on a private 5-acre island, 25 miles north of Dillingham in the Wood River Tikchik Lake system. This system is located 350 miles southwest of Anchorage, and we use jetboats to access over 120 miles of rivers and lakes in this water system. The Wood River Tikchik Lake system enjoys large runs of all five Pacific salmon species: Kings, Sockeye, Pink, Chum, and Silver Salmon. In addition to the salmon, the system also contains large populations of Rainbow Trout, Arctic Char, Grayling, Northern Pike, and Dolly Varden.

Aleknagik Island Lodge is a family owned and operated business. With years of experience amongst staff and friends of the lodge your experience will be more than just fishing, but a stay filled with hospitality and commitment to make it the memory for friends and family to enjoy!

Our season begins in mid-June when we pursue the large runs of King and Sockeye salmon. We fish for these species until late July when the Chum and Pink salmon begin to enter the system. The numerous Silver salmon begin their migration in early August, with good fishing until mid-September. Rainbows, Arctic Char, Grayling, and Pike are available in large numbers during the entire season. To ensure a quality experience for our guests, we only take six fishermen per week. Come and enjoy great fishing, beautiful scenery, abundant wildlife, delicious family-style meals, and comfortable accommodations.
