Fishing and Species

Their location across the Yentna River from the confluence of the “home waters” of Lake Creek, makes for some of Alaska’s best fishing water within minutes of the lodge. Lake Creek is a swift flowing, clear, gravel-bottomed river originating out of the Alaska Range to our north and is home to all five species of Pacific salmon (king, sockeye, pink, silver and chum), rainbow trout and arctic grayling. Riversong Lodge also offers daily fly-out fishing excursions, by floatplane or helicopter to favorite neighboring rivers. They have some of the best guides in Alaska. They know the waters and the fishing, and they take great pride and pleasure in teaching you the skills to enjoy them. Let them navigate you up the swiftly flowing waters of Lake Creek in jet boats in search of the mighty king salmon in June or maybe the spectacular big rainbows in September. All are Coast Guard certified and are proficient with conventional and fly tackle.

Arrivals and Departures

The lodge is flexible on length of stay, arrival and departure days. It is the most flexible serious fishing lodge in Alaska, with stays from one night and longer.
