Millions upon millions of red salmon fill the Kvichak River in late June and early July. This notorious event is the largest red salmon run in the world, and yes, there is a fishing lodge here. The Kvichak Lodge and their expert guides will help you catch enough salmon to feed a small army.
In between Alaska’s largest lake, Lake Iliamna, and the rocky shores of the Kvichak River you’ll find the Kvichak Lodge. Your fishing options are endless. You can walk to the pebble beaches and cast out, board a plane with a guide and venture deep into the Alaskan wilderness or hop on a boat and troll the river. Besides red salmon you’ll catch vicious King salmon and tough rainbow trout.
After a hard day on the water throw back a few drinks at the Kvichak lodge and chow down on a home cooked meal. After you’ve had your fill a guide will be ready to discuss the next day’s game plan, and you’ll need a good one to break the lodge’s 23.3 pound rainbow trout record. When it’s time to return to civilization you’ll be handed a nice present – all your fish have been cleaned, wrapped and frozen for you to take home.
