GRAND SLAM FISHING TOURS


GREAT ALASKA

Alaska, with its endless acres of untamed wilderness, is truly America's last frontier. If you've dreamed of an Alaskan vacation, come experience the excitement and breathtaking beauty with Great Alaska Adventure Lodge. Surrounded by pristine snow-capped peaks, ancient woodlands and abundant wildlife, there's no better place for classic fishing then at Great Alaska Adventure Lodge. Battle the giant King Salmon or feisty Trophy Trout that you thought were just legends. With a Great Alaska vacation, you'll experience Alaska adventure at its finest.

King Salmon (5/15 - 7/31) are the world's largest, averaging 35 - 60 pounds. Trolling and drifting from power and drift boats in shallow water mean violent strikes with great fights. Beginners and experts enjoy success as our expert guides maneuver the boat to the fish- but once it's hooked…it's all you! 4 kings passing the 80 pound mark have fallen to our clients over the years, with countless 50, 60 and 70 pound specimens kept or released as well.

Silver Salmon (8/1 - 9/31) are an acrobatic species that readily take spinners, spoons and flies with equal abandon. Nearly as popular as the famous Kings, they are very popular with our returning guests. Perfect for catch and release, they are also excellent table fare and combine with our trophy trout in the later season. Casting spinners with spin and bait casters is the most effective method of targeting these great game fish.

Sockeye & Pink Salmon (6/5 - 7/31) may be Alaska's most amazing sportfish. The first run migrates up the Kenai to the Russian, however it's the second run, in July, which our guests get excited about. Thousands upon thousands gang up in front of the lodge and make for great fun in the evenings after the King trips are over (in fact, some guests choose to target the Sockeye rather than the Kings!) A great bonus species in July, their eggs and decomposing bodies provide nutrients for the fat rainbows we love in August and September.

Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden & Steelhead The Area and it’s surrounding rivers consistently produces some of Alaska's most impressive Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden catches. Our best fishing is August and September, with good catches available from the middle of June on. As they are a resident species we practice catch and release on all Trout species. Vying for the Kings for most popular sportfish in Alaska, the Rainbow combines with our excellent Silver salmon for great late season angling right up until the end of September.

Giant Pacific Halibut reside in the deep, cold waters off the western and Eastern sides of the peninsula. Early in the season we target them in Cook Inlet, often combining trolling for King salmon with bottom fishing for the giant Halibut. Later, we move to Kenai Fjords National Park and target the halibut and Silver salmon in Prince William Sound’s beautiful waters. The Halibut is a delicious fish, best known for it's culinary, rather than it's fighting qualities. That being said, the large "barn door" specimens of 100+ pounds do put up quite a battle, and most guests long remember their trip on the "Captain Hook."

Sportfishing Seasons

The Waters We Fish

Kenai RiverWe fish Alaska's most famous river from 20' River Sleds and quiet drift boats. These boats are ideal fishing platforms for targeting the world's largest king salmon and casting for the acrobatic silvers.

Refuge Waters:  Our Company is fortunate to have been permitted to fish the refuge trout waters of the upper Kenai. This area is one of the most spectacular trout fisheries in the state, catch and releasing 25 trout or char up to 10 lbs is not uncommon.

The Kasilof River produces quality king and silver salmon runs from May through September. This drift boat only river is a beautiful setting and the perfect place for a quiet drift and hot fishing.

Wadefishing Rivers:  Selected for their peak periods, a handful of classic Alaskan streams and lakes offer variety to your week while fishing for grayling, steelhead, salmon and trout.

Fly Out Fishing:  Many trips include fly outs to remote streams for king, red and silver salmon fishing at peak season. This includes the prolific untouched freshwater fishing available in a variety of areas.

Seward Offshore:  The gulf of Alaska is home to glaciers, orca, monster halibut, giant lingcod, and huge numbers of silver salmon. For a trip to fill the freezer, there is no place like this area abundant with marine life.

Cook Inlet:  Halibut and king salmon fishing is a treat with average halibut of 30-40lbs and many in the 100's. Early in the year quality king salmon are caught by trolling the beaches, this makes for an excellent combo trip.

Our 3-Star lodge is located in the heart of the Kenai Peninsula on 25 acres of prime mid-river property overlooking the confluence of the Kenai and Moose rivers with a backdrop of the mountains and glaciers of the Harding Icefield. This central location allows us to easily access the entire Kenai Peninsula.
