Here at Alaska Rainbow Lodge are headed into our 40th season of operation! We want to take a quick moment and say thank you to all our past clients and those whom has visited us as soon as last year! We are once again anticipating another record-breaking year with the annual salmon report coming back on a high note. Sockeye salmon numbers are continuing to soar in record-breaking numbers which will make for a bountiful harvest in Bristol Bay and the rivers that they flow into.

As the new season approaches we are excited to announce the launch of our new website! 2023 marks the start of a new era in our visual approach to marketing all the while focusing our our core values of overall brand consistency, guest experience and client satisfaction.

The allure of fly fishing in Alaska revolves around three factors: beautiful scenery, a plentiful fish population, and unrivaled seclusion. As many people know, most locations are so remote that anglers and other outdoor enthusiasts take airplanes to their destinations due to the lack of roads. Alaska Rainbow Lodge provides fly-outs to rivers containing healthy numbers of the five native Alaskan species: king, silver (coho), sockeye (red salmon), chum, and pink (humpback) salmon, all of which are highly sought after fish in Alaska.

The countdown to summer is here and we are steadily making arrangements to get all our guides and gear into position. The peak of the salmon season starts up in June and lasts through September. With over 30 streams, rivers, and creeks to find yourself in on any given day, we simply put you on the fish. Alaska Rainbow Lodge boasts a beautiful fleet of De Havilland Beavers that take you to your drop off zone and are there to pick you up at the end of the day. Every day is a heart-pounding adventure like no other…you have to be here to understand. From the majestic mountain ranges to soft rolling tundra, the Bristol Bay of Alaska and the surrounding terrain is a feast for the eyes and the soul. The opportunity to hook into a trophy-class 30” rainbow trout is only a single cast away and the rugged wilderness will engulf you with every step you take.

BEST FISHING IN ALASKA

The best time to head out to Alaska to fish is somewhere between June to September as it is the peak season for salmon fishing. During late June, king salmon start to migrate into the Naknek and Nushagak rivers, where the king salmon run peaks. It is followed by sockeye salmon peaking in early to mid July in the Naknek and Alagnak rivers. You can also expect to catch Arctic char, grayling, and northern pike during June. It’s no secret that the Nushagak River offers the best king salmon fishing in Alaska so there will also be an abundance of chum, pink, and silver salmon in late summer. June is the perfect time for clear blue skies and warm weather, so keep this in mind when planning your trip to Alaska Rainbow Lodge.
