Alaska fly fishing for salmon, trout, dolly varden, artic char, pike, grayling

Mission Lodge is easily considered to be Alaska’s finest fly-out lodge operation. Located in the heart of the Bristol Bay region of southwest Alaska, we are within easy flying distance to the finest waters in the state. Depending on the week we target five species of Pacific Salmon, Rainbow Trout, Arctic Char, Dolly Varden, Arctic Grayling, Lake Trout and Northern Pike and most any combination thereof.

If you and your group are interested in a first class luxury experience, without comprising great fishing, this may well be your kind of place.

We are committed to providing the best service possible with the ultimate goal being to have fun while catching lots of fish!

Our goal is to utilize the various fisheries while they are in their prime. To do this we will fly you and your group out to different rivers and streams depending on the species that you are interested in

Each evening prior, we confer with you to see what kind of experience you are up for. The guides will then get the necessary gear put together in our tackle room (which doubles as a great story telling hang out). The next morning after breakfast you board one of our float planes and head out with a guide (or to a spike camp with a guide waiting) to one of the many world class, and in some cases world famous, rivers and streams of our region. Depending on the location we will have jet boats to take up and down the river to fish from or get you to different gravel bars for wading.

Because of a short growing season, all native species must be released, no exceptions. With the advent of graphite mounting techniques, there is even no reason to keep trophy fish. If you are interested in taking back some salmon, your guide will fillet or steak them, vacuum pack them in suitable portions and freeze them. Upon your departure your catch will be put into an airline-approved waxed fish box for the trip home.

We understand you come up here to fish, so on those nasty weather days that we will not or can not fly (because of our location they average less than four days a season), we have some trout and salmon fisheries close to the lodge that can be reached by boat.

Whether you have been to Alaska twenty times or this is your first time, Mission Lodge will be an unforgettable experience of great fishing, unsurpassed comfort and most importantly - FUN!

To reach our lodge is pretty straight forward. Fly from your nearest airport to Anchorage, Alaska. Then fly from Anchorage to Dillingham, approximately one hour. In Dillingham you will be greeted by our staff who will transport you and your luggage to Lake Aleknagik by own staff and private shuttle vans. Transfer to boat and enjoy a scenic and rather quick ride across the lake to the lodge. The staff will whisk your gear to your room, while you shake hands with the hosts and then pick up your fishing license and sample the yummy appetizers.

Because of flight schedules for various points in the lower forty-eight, it may be necessary to overnight in Anchorage either on the way in, way out or both.

Some times our guests just spend the day flying the area just for the spectacular views and exciting wildlife. Our most popular flight seeing trip is known as the ‘Lake-Hop’. Just like the title implies, you will fly from lake to lake, stopping to explore the beaches, fish some of the inlets and even venture into an ice cave.
