MORE THAN AN ALASKAN LUXURY FISHING LODGE
Despite being the main draw for nearly all of our guests, there’s more to do than fishing on an Alaskan fishing trip with Alaska Rainbow Lodge. From five-star gourmet cuisine to an abundance of beloved wildlife, there’s no such thing as a bad day in our neck of the woods. Furthermore, the knowledge imparted by a seasoned Alaskan fishing guide is a priceless commodity to any angler. As one happy visitor put it, “You will not find a better lodge to stay at for the value of the trip. You cannot top the best.”

FALL FLY FISHING IN ALASKA: KVICHAK RIVER RAINBOW TROUT
Fall is an excellent time for fly fishing in Alaska. First of all, the crisp autumn weather is reasonably comfortable. The fall colors will begin to peak, offering a diverse array of reds and oranges across the landscape—plus, no mosquitos. Secondly, there tends to be less pressure from eager anglers as the tourist season wanes. Most importantly, however, fall marks a heightened abundance of Alaskan rainbow trout coming through the Kvichak River. Some of the world’s largest specimens make their way from Bristol Bay and on to our hooks as winter approaches. It is not uncommon at Alaska Rainbow Lodge to see guests consistently reel in rainbows exceeding 28 inches. With that in mind, we’ll give you an inside look at one of our most coveted fall bounties: the Alaskan rainbow trout.
Part of the reason why the fly fishing in Alaska is some of the best on Earth is that Bristol Bay’s pristine waters and the surrounding area make for an incredible habitat. Thanks to the remote nature of a nearly unscathed ecosystem and mindful conservation practices, the typical conditions in our slice of paradise lend themselves to enabling anglers a real chance at a trophy Alaskan rainbow trout. Native throughout Alaska’s coastal rivers, rainbow trout are an anadromous fish species, meaning they can thrive in salt and freshwater systems. Furthermore, rainbows that leave the sea to return to the river are commonly referred to as steelhead. However, our Bristol Bay variety tends to stick around the river, meaning they are true inland residents. Unlike their salmonid cousins, Alaskan rainbow trout can spawn more than once, further adding to their abundance.
In the Field with Buffalo Media Group
Alaska Rainbow Lodge welcomed back Buffalo Media Group for a week of photo and video production in early June. They covered lots of ground and water from the flats of the Kvichak River to Brooks Camp, Moraine Creek, and the Nushagak River.
