Nestled in the remote Alaskan frontier, Aniak River Lodge offers some of the most untouched and best trout, salmon, and char fishing in Alaska. Your tents are feet from the banks of the Aniak River that acts as your highway for the entirety of your trip. With access at your front door step you can fish sloughs for pike, the main river for sheefish, and the spring fed creeks for rainbow trout, dolly varden, arctic char, grayling, and five species of salmon.
Aniak River Lodge offers one of the most explosive ways to fish for big, wild, feisty rainbow trout - skating and stripping mouse patterns. If seeing a two foot trout destroy a morrish mouse does not excite you then strip an all pink dolly llama or your favorite streamer for salmon or any other species that the fishing has to offer.
The Aniak river lodge is a weather port tent based lodge on the banks of the Aniak river. It is a no frills wilderness experience with all the amenities to make your trip comfortable, enjoyable and one to remember for a lifetime. It allows you the opportunity to be on your own with the river. No helicopters , no planes and no other boats. Remote, isolated and secluded. Alaska the way it was and should be. You fly into Anchorage, typically the night before your trip, and then take a small 8 - 12 passenger plane from Anchorage to Aniak. Upon arrival at Aniak, your guides for the week will pick you up in a bus and take you to the lodge HQ. You do a safety briefing and have a quick lunch and then you wader up for the first time. You take a jet boat up to the lodge and fish some pike and sheefish beats on the way up. After a short 1 to 1.5 hour boat ride you land on the banks of your home for the week.
