Lake Creek starts at the base of Mount McKinley and runs 65 miles to the
Yentna River. It is a clear, gravel-bottom river where all species of
Pacific Salmon flock to spawn each year. Our lodge sits approximately
1.5 miles from the mouth of Lake Creek.
All fishing is guided with 3 or 4 clients per guide depending on time of year and water levels. This ensures that each client receives the personal attention he or she deserves. All 5 species of Pacific salmon run Lake Creek at different times of the year (see chart below). Rainbow Trout, Grayling and Northern Pike can be caught year round. You can choose to fly fish or to spin or bait cast depending on the time of year and proven methods. Our guide will do everything in his power to help you get the catch of a lifetime. You won't be disappointed!
Your private Alaskan fishing guide will customize your trip to suit your individual style. Jet sleds allow us to fish the lower 8 miles of Lake Creek as well as various other clear-water tributaries of the Yentna River.
The mouth of Lake Creek is considered one of the top salmon fishing bites in Alaska. Book now for a fishing trip you will never forget. Our guides are some of the best fishermen in Alaska and our Lodge Manager is locally known as the best fisherman on the Yentna. We promise to do everything we can to make your experience memorable. We hope to see you soon!
Lake Creek Alaska Salmon Fishing
Lake Creek is a gravel bottom river and home to all 5 species of Pacific Salmon. Lake Creek is a perfect spawning ground for these Salmon. These fish are all within your reach!!!
Alaska Rainbow Trout Fishing
The Rainbow Trout in Alaska’s rivers are native born. These Trout provide the ultimate fly fishing adventure. I highly recommend a 6-weight fly rod while fishing for the Rainbow. The pure strength these fish have is something to marvel. It is possible to land an 8-10 pound Rainbow on our guided fishing trip.
Your private Alaskan fishing guide will customize your trip to suit your individual style. Our fully guided fishing trips include all of your rods and tackle. Whether you prefer to spin-fish or fly fish, our guides will make sure that you have quality equipment and tackle.
