The Fishing


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!

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.

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.
