King Salmon Fishing!  

 

Five Species of Pacific Salmon:                   King, Sockeye, Chum, Pink & Silver             As summer arrives, the mighty King salmon enters several of our local rivers. These 30 to 50 pound lunkers will really put a bend in your 10 weight. We fish a number of rivers for King salmon that are VERY good fly fishing waters. During June and July the Sockeye salmon run is in full swing, entering our river system headed for Wildman Lake. All summer long salmon choke the river, while trout and char gorge themselves on salmon roe and nearly double their weight. Chum and Pink salmon arrive in July.  The absolute best Silver salmon fishing in Alaska is found in our local rivers, and begins in August continuing into October.  Silver salmon like this one, averaging 14 to 20 pounds can be taken on both wet and top-water flies at Wildman Lake Lodge.

Wild Rainbow Trout

        and colorful Arctic Char

Imagine an artesian river that runs crystal clear 365 days of the year, teeming with wild native Rainbow Trout, spring and fall Steelhead, Dolly Varden, Arctic Char and more salmon than you can shake your fly rod at.  Enjoy unlimited fishing hours right outside your cabin door, seeing only those anglers with whom you shared the breakfast table. Wildman Lake Lodge is located right on one of the very finest sport fishing rivers in Alaska. Ocean River flows crystal clear and maintains the same water level year-round, so every day is a fishing day, no matter what the weather. A week at Wildman Lake Lodge also includes fly-out fishing during the summer salmon season to provide even more variety and species to your sport fishing week.

Spring & Fall Steelhead

   Wild Steelhead - Spring & Fall

In our local, and a number of our nearby rivers, we get both spring and fall runs of wild Steelhead.  These scrappy sea run trout, return to only certain clear-water streams on the remote Alaska Peninsula to spawn in these icy cold and nutritious rivers.  This May and October fishery is for the adventurous angler who understands that occasionally high water or inclement spring and fall weather can occasionally keep us from fishing some rivers on some days.  However, because of its clear-water artesian source, our home river is guaranteed  be clear regardless of the early and late season weather.  Not available every year, group bookings required to assure that we will open the camp early or late season for these runs. 

  Fly Fishing Instruction:     Our sport fishing guides are all experienced fly fishermen. We have instructional videos at the lodge and plenty of casting area (shallow water and firm wading) just outside the lodge's back door. It is always best to learn to fly fish while you are catching fish at Wildman Lake Lodge. We have a good assortment of flies in the gift shop and also a fully stocked fly tying table right at the lodge; but, we will also send you a list of our most productive fly patterns when you book your trip. We strongly advocate catch and release of our native trout species; however, we will happily clean, bag and freeze your salmon limit.

Dear Butch: Forgive me for being so long in writing this, but I must say what is on my heart! What an experience! for me and my 4 sons. There is no way I can fully express my feelings for what you and your great people did for us , for me and for each of my sons. I came home to my wife of almost 52 years and said " whatever it cost, it was worth every penny to see the ear to ear grins on their faces and hear the happiness in their voices as they lived out the week with you and your wonderful  staff.

Hi Butch and gang:  We had an absolutely fabulous experience on our king salmon trip. I have been on over 25 freshwater Alaskan salmon trips and have never had comparable service (guiding, dining, accommodations, etc.) . Your complete staff deserves my best recommendations. Our Scottish long-rod fly-fishing buddies also  added to the enjoyment.  Of course, my taking twenty one kings to 45 lbs on a fly in one day was something I had never hoped to achieve and didn't believe it was possible.    Nick Lusich - Reno, NV
