Fishing Season: June 26 to July 20
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game sets and meets an escapement goal of up to two million sockeye salmon on the Naknek River. These fish move right by our lodge and spawn in the mouth of the Naknek River, while the rest go into the lake and spawn in local tributaries.
Flyfishing for hard-fighting, great-tasting red salmon is spectacular for the expert and novice anglers. Many anglers consider the sockeye salmon size average in the Naknek River to be the largest in Alaska.
