Fishing & Guided Activities
The type of fishing you do while at Bear Trail Lodge is your choice. Whether it’s wading, drifting, casting or plugging, your guide will help you fish in whichever way you enjoy the most. You can fly fish or use conventional gear. There are streams that are fly fishing only areas and there are rivers that allow either fly fishing or conventional gear.
The location of Bear Trail Lodge, on the trophy-class Naknek River, assures guests will have the opportunity to fish each day during their stay. At Bear Trail Lodge, they have the best of both worlds. The fishing is excellent on their “home” river and the lodge is very close to many “fly-out” rivers in the region.
Many times throughout the season, especially when fishing big rainbow trout, the Naknek is the river of choice. Throughout the Bristol Bay and Lake Iliamna area, there are tremendous fishing opportunities allowing guests to see and experience the flavor of this great area. The central location of the lodge makes many of the remote streams very accessible and only a short flight away. Bear Trail Lodge is near Katmai National Park and Preserve, and they have permits to operate on “limited access” rivers. Bear Trail Lodge facilitates fly-outs to take guests to different rivers throughout the area to fish for all five species of salmon, arctic char, grayling and rainbow trout. These adventures are included in guest package prices.
The benefit of choosing to visit Bear Trail Lodge is whether you decide to fly-out to fish a nearby stream or stay and experience the wonders that our home river offers, your fishing day will be filled with adventure and excitement.
