The Sockeye Salmon (red salmon) run, in the Kvichak River is the largest natural sockeye run in the world. The 20 year average is 9.7 million sockeye per year. Up to 600,000 sockeyes have passed by the lodge in one 24 hour period !
In one day an Average of 6.9 Sockeyes swam by Clearwater Lodge, every second, for 24 hours in a row for a combined total of 598,000 Sockeye Salmon in one Day! More fish swim by the lodge in one day, than swim up most rivers in Alaska all summer !
Bristol Bay Alaska Fishing June - September Our season opens June 8th and runs through the middle of September. Every year, in early July, millions of Sockeye Salmon pass by the lodge on their way to spawning streams further up the lake. Guests fishing within 200 yards of the lodge can land dozens of these powerful salmon during a typical long summer day. The river mouth also yields big Rainbow Trout, especially in the months of September and October. These rainbows are extremely strong with numerous fish being caught every year that exceed 28" long. Prime time for rainbows is August 8 through September. The Kvichak River Policy is catch and release for rainbow trout which means we always practice "CPR" (catch, photograph, and release!)  The Kvichak is a broad and powerful river. Its many channels and islands offer anglers a wonderful diversity of settings, from deep pools, to wide runs, to tiny creeks. A trip downriver brings guests to the incredible Kaskanak Flats, where the Kvichak divides into a myriad of channels as it filters through a vast marshland. Here, plucky arctic grayling can be caught on dry flies, or acrobatic trout can be lured from undercut blanks with wet flies.
The slow waters of the nearby Kaskanak River can offer fast action on northern pike. Where the Kaskanak and other small rivers pour into the Kvichak, pink salmon and silver salmon congregate in great numbers during the month of August. This is wild country, and even regular visitors are thrilled by the sight of eagles, caribou, moose and the awesome brown bear.  Our fishing season begins in early June and extends to the first week of October. The highlights are the trophy rainbow trout fishing (especially in the early and late portions of the season) the sockeye run in early July and the silver run in August. We also have excellent grayling fishing thoughout the season. Lodging policy is that "Catch and Release" is practiced for all native fish, but salmon may be kept in accordance with fish and game laws. Salmon catches, if desired, can be cleaned and frozen for guests to take home.
