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
A
great month for rainbow trout, arctic
char, arctic grayling, lake trout,
and northern pike. By the middle of
June Chinook ("King Salmon")
begin their migration into freshwater
streams. This is a classic "Dry
Fly" month for trout and grayling.
July
Rainbow,
char, lake trout, grayling, and northern
pike. The king salmon, sockeye, and
chum salmon are entering the rivers
by the millions.
August
Rainbow,
char, dolly varden, and grayling.
Sockeye salmon fish well through the
early part of August. Coho ("Silver
Salmon"), pink, and chum salmon
are plentiful.
September
A
truly great month for large rainbow
trout, char, and silver salmon. Arctic
char and dolly varden trout have their
beautiful fall spawning colors.
Catch
and Release
Our
area is Alaska's designated premier
Wild Trout Area. The best 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.
Fresh
chum salmon....are hot!
Super Sockeye.
Great Rainbow fishing.

"Hard to believe that this year at Valhalla was as good or better than last...but it was. Everything and everyone was very nearly perfect. The fishing was dreamlike...BIG fish, great places, great help from Chris. Even the lunch bags were decorated with great art courtesy of Ashley. All in all, a terrific time and I am looking forward to my next visit. Thanks again for a great adventure."

"Kirk, Liza and staff: like "Ken" says "Life is Good." This is such a wonderful experience and one of the few places we've been that you just can't get enough of. Hope we can come back again, and again, and again!"
Carl & Kathy Reynolds, Callands, VA
"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 unparallel anywhere. In fact, if I had only one more trip to take, I think Valhalla Lodge Alaska would be the one I'd choose."
William Brown, Loughbrickland, Northern Ireland
