Fishing Program
     At Valhalla Lodge you will fish the top producing streams in the Lake Iliamna - Katmai - Bristol Bay areas.

     A combination of floatplane flyouts, river jet-boats, and float trips with inflatable rafts are used to reach these blue ribbon streams.

     A special attraction at Valhalla Lodge is our excellent stream fishing just a few minutes from the lodge by river jet-boat.

     Flightseeing, exploring wild, remote streams, wildlife viewing, fishing with the bears...it's an Alaska adventure! 

June
     Fly fishing for rainbow trout is excellent! Nushagak River king salmon start in by mid-June. An estimated 100,000 kings should head upriver past the sonar counting stations. Our Nushagak tent camp is located at the "forks" just below Portage Creek Village and above the sonar counting stations. All the king salmon migrate upriver right in front of our camp!

July
     Nushagak king salmon will continue fishing good to mid-July, then tail off. Chrome-bright chum salmon follow the kings June/July on the Nushagak, and are terrific sport on the fly rod! Kvichak River sockeye will arrive by the millions in early July. Pound for pound, these chrome-bright sockeyes are great sport on the fly rod! The rainbow trout fishing will also remain very good!

August
     Nushagak River silver salmon show up early August. These fresh silvers are very aggressive to take a fly and are great sport! By mid-August, Kvichak River silvers start migrating into the feeder streams of Lake Iliamna. Fish for big rainbows and big silvers on the same streams! The Katmai Coast silvers show up mid-August as well. These coastal silvers, a few minutes out of salt water into the freshwater streams, are awesome on the fly rod! The rainbow trout fishing on the Katmai and Iliamna streams will be truly outstanding! And, the bear photography provides a bonus to a unique world class adventure.

September
     BIG rainbow trout and BIG silver salmon on the fly rod. Can't say enough how terrific this September fishing is!! Hooking into a 30-inch plus rainbow can be a lifetime achievement!

Catch and Release
     
Our area is Alaska's designated premier Wild Trout Area. All streams are classifieds as "Catch and Release" for rainbow trout.

      The take-home limits of salmon are very generous and Valhalla Lodge provides freezing, packaging, and wet-lok boxing of your fish.

     Quality state of the art replica taxidermy is available for all species of sport fish.

Great experience! The fishing was over the top, especially the King fishing on the ”Nush”. The lake trout are plentiful and so are the grayling. The food was excellent. Everyone connected with the lodge was super.

The very best, as always. Fabulous environment, wonderful people, great guides, good food, ridiculously unbelievable fishing – rainbows, grayling, king salmon & sockeyes. Trip #3 for me to Valhalla. Will save & plan for #4.

I was, and am, so lucky that I picked Valhalla to stay at. A lot more than just great fishing. The friendly and helpful and efficient staff, the organization made the whole trip a joy that I will always remember.

Marvelous & Magnificent this beautiful place called Valhalla! Our only complaint is that we have to leave – we will miss the exceptional skill & knowledge of our guides & hospitality of all of the staff. This has been a cherished experience that we will always remember!

It was a great pleasure spending time with you on the water. As Max lost his fear of bears… now, we will return as soon as possible!

My first time at Valhalla. What a great lodge! Thanks Kirk & Chris for a wonderful week. I caught my biggest rainbow on the Talarik - 27". Funnel Creek & the bears were so very special...I'll be back.

This was our first trip to Valhalla and what an amazing experience. Everyday was truly an adventure! The fishing was best-ever, and the bear watching at Moraine, the trip to the coast, huge silvers, and fishing the Taz – an fantastic fishing experiences. We thank you and look forward to returning for more of the BEST! Thanks Kirk, Chris, John, Debbie and Amber – Great Job! Warm Regards,

Kirk, Liza, Chris and Crew — thanks very much for another great week of fishing and related enjoyment. Had a fantastic trip, hauling big fish, insane silver fishing, bear watching and fine dining. Thanks to Ashley and Erin and see ya next year.

The best year yet. Fantastic fishing, great service. There was nothing that wasn't superb. Thanks to the entire staff for a great week. I will dream of this all winter. Hopefully, the good man upstairs will let me do this again next year.

It is hard to say something is the best in the world, for the world is so large and varied. I have fished almost all the great places and enjoyed them all in their own way, but Valhalla Alaska is up there among the very best. For the sheer variety of its fly-fishing, it is unparalleled anywhere. In fact, if I had only one more trip to take, I think Valhalla Lodge Alaska would be the one I'd choose.
