Alaska fishing trips are intended to relax and calm your spirit and fill you with rejuvenation and renewal. They are also as varied as they are abundant. The Lodge at 58* North provides a slew of experiences from fly-outs to their home waters on the Naknek River. They provide all the gear for an array of fishing styles and can accommodate any skill level.

There are so many rivers and streams to see in Bristol Bay, each offering a different experience. With a float plane on the dock, they offer their guests the opportunity to explore and experience wild fly-out fishing. The famed rivers of Katmai National Park and Becharof Refuge are a short flight away. From the float plane dock at the lodge, the flights will take you through incredible, untouched landscapes. Depending on location, you may walk over land to the river or up the river from where you landed. You might even float in one of their small rafts and get picked up downstream. In some locations you can sight fish for rainbow trout with streamers, egg patterns or mice. Dolly Varden fishing can only be described as ridiculous, and if you’re lucky, you can find pods of ocean-fresh silver salmon that are willing to eat anything that moves. While on a backcountry fishing trip, you may encounter moose, brown bears, caribou, wolves, fox, and eagles.

The Lodge at 58* North is ideally located on the Naknek River. This means that you are guaranteed to fishing everyday even if flying out is not an option. With five species of Pacific salmon, sea-run Dolly Varden, grayling, Northern pike, and some of the largest rainbow trout in the world, there are always fish to chase. Early summer offers exciting action fishing for hungry rainbow trout as they smash salmon smolt on the surface. By the end of June king and sockeye salmon start showing up. The first week of July will bring the sockeye in by the thousands, while the peak of the king run will occur from early to late July. Come August the silver salmon will be migrating in high numbers. Fall fishing on the Naknek can provide an angler a shot at catching a rainbow trout of a lifetime. In September these world class trout move from Naknek Lake back into the river system. It’s an incredible time of year to chase these giants. The guides’ preferred method for catching fall rainbows is to swing flies with either a single or two handed flyrod, though at times they fish for them with egg patterns under indicators. The Naknek provides excellent fishing all season long.

Non-fishing activities include hiking, beach combing, flight seeing, tours of the Valley of 10,000 Smokes, bird watching, bear viewing, and photography.

The Lodge at 58* North is the newest luxury fly-out Alaska fishing lodge in the heart of Bristol Bay. Constructed in 2022, the main lodge is warm and welcoming, and features modern and crisp Scandinavian design elements.

The lodge cabins are freshly updated and newly appointed with top end features and offer guests plenty of privacy and comfort. They are light, airy, and clean with private baths and sitting areas.

The dining program at the lodge is a big part of the overall experience. Meals are prepared by the culinary team in an open air kitchen and enjoyed together by guests and staff alike at the main dining table.
