Alaska Angling

  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.

Located just downstream of the famous “rapids” of the Naknek river, Rapids Camp Lodge has some of the state’s most remarkable trophy rainbow fly fishing mere minutes from their dock. The local rapids section of the Naknek river is especially good early and late in the season and holds great appeal to anglers who like to fly fish in a traditional steelhead fashion with spey rods. Additionally the fly fishing here centers around the rainbow, char, and salmon fisheries of the greater Bristol Bay/Katmai region. Rapids Camp has an excellent king salmon fly fishing program as well as a very good coastal program for targeting silver salmon. The lodge strives to have one guide for every two anglers.
Fishing venues vary widely from days spent fishing from jet powered aluminum Jon boats, to raft trips, to remote walk and wade venues best suited to the physically fit. At times anglers will fish from boats, but the majority of fly fishing is done while wading. Rapids Camp Lodge is proud of its aircraft fleet which includes three de Havilland Beavers and one de Havilland Turbine Otter.
