Join us for some of the most spectacular fly fishing imaginable!
Fishing from the Lodge: The day begins with a hot and hearty breakfast at the lodge to get guests prepared for the exciting day ahead. Guests may choose to spend a day fishing the tidal waters close to the lodge. Both the Kaliakh and Duktoth Rivers run along the beach before turning into the ocean, providing numerous fishing holes where the Silvers and Steelhead congregate. Spend the morning fishing the mouth of the Kaliakh and return to the lodge for lunch or journey by ATV with your guide to fish on the Duktoth River. The Duktoth is unique in that it runs parallel to the beach for two miles, providing spectacular opportunities for Silver and Steelhead fishing. Spend a leisurely day casting for trophy fish to the relaxing sound of the surf.
Trophy-sized Silver Salmon, Steelhead, Cutthroat, Rainbow, and Dolly Varden are just minutes from the Kaliakh Wilderness Lodge. Travel with your guide by jet boat to the clear water tributaries farther up river for an unforgettable day of casting beneath Alaska’s majestic mountains. Numerous tributaries run into the glacial waters of the Kaliakh River providing abundant and rich habitat for trout and salmon. The Kaliakh provides the unique and rare opportunity to catch all local species in one fishing hole in both the spring and fall.
Overnight Excursions
Kaliakh River Overnight Excursion: Travel 30 scenic miles up the Kaliakh River by jet boat, stopping along the way to fish the clear water tributaries. It is common to see moose, bear and mountain goat along the way. After a hot meal and a good night’s sleep at the spike camp along the river, journey to a very special, pristine lake on the upper part of the Kaliakh and cast for Silvers, Rainbow, Cutthroat and Dolly Varden from canoes, while the beaver paddle by and moose graze along the bank. Float down the river in the jet boat, fishing along the way, and end the day back at the lodge.
Duktoth River Overnight Excursion: This journey begins with a canoe trip on the lake behind the lodge and takes guests to the very special beaver dam lake system in the Kaliakh-Duktoth forelands. The many beaver dams have created a series of small lakes that provide excellent fishing opportunities under the shadow of Kultheith Mountain. These lakes offer excellent fishing for Rainbow, Cutthroat, and Dolly Varden and the fish are so abundant that it is possible to catch a fish on both the forward and back casts. Located on the Pacific Flyway, this area is also home to an amazing number of birds, especially waterfowl as well as moose and fox. After a full day’s fishing and a short portage, guests spend the night at the Duktoth River spike camp. Day two of this 21 mile excursion is spent leisurely floating down the Duktoth, casting for all local species. Guests will fish for Silver Salmon and Steelhead on the lower part of the Duktoth as it runs parallel to the ocean. End your wilderness excursion with a hot meal and story telling back at the lodge.
