Rapids Camp Lodge offers unparalleled fly fishing in the heart of the famed Bristol Bay watershed, home to enormous rainbow trout, five species of salmon, Arctic char, pike, and grayling. Easy to get to, hard to leave: your destination is just an 80-minute flight from Anchorage, yet it’s a world away from the hustle and bustle of modern day life.
The scenery alone is reason enough to visit the great state of Alaska. Fly over eons-old, glaciers, glide by active volcanoes, see the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, visit Geographic Harbor, watch majestic brown bears fishing at Katmai National Park’s Brooks Falls, and moose, eagles, wolves and foxes roaming free in their natural habitats. Situated just below the renowned “rapids” of the Naknek river, Rapids Camp Lodge boasts access to some of Alaska's most awe-inspiring trophy rainbow fly fishing, mere minutes from their dock. The local rapids section of the Naknek river is especially abundant early and late in the season, making it a coveted destination for anglers seeking a traditional steelhead experience with spey rods. The lodge's focus on the rainbow, char, and salmon fisheries of the vast Bristol Bay/Katmai region ensures an unparalleled fly fishing adventure. With a guide-to-angler ratio of 1:2, guests can expect personalized attention and expert guidance throughout their stay.
Fishing at Rapids Camp Lodge offers a variety of experiences, from exhilarating jet boat trips along the river to serene rafting excursions and even remote walk-and-wade locations for those seeking a more physical challenge. Though some fishing may be done from boats, the majority is done while wading in the pristine waters. The lodge takes great pride in its fleet of aircraft, which includes three de Havilland Beavers and one de Havilland Turbine Otter, providing swift and convenient transportation to various fishing destinations. In addition to its exceptional rainbow fly fishing, Rapids Camp Lodge also offers excellent king salmon fishing opportunities and a top-notch coastal program for targeting silver salmon. With such diverse options available, anglers are sure to have an unforgettable experience at this premier Alaskan fishing lodge. |
