Alaska fishing lodge with expert guides

At The Ridge Lodge, guiding is taken seriously to ensure guests have consistent, successful days on the water while deepening their understanding and appreciation for fly fishing. The experienced guides possess intimate knowledge of the local waters, bringing passion, expertise, and patient instruction to each excursion.

With access to over 25 unique fishing waters, the team strategically plans daily adventures, adapting to Alaska’s ever-changing conditions to maximize productive fisheries.

A diverse range of Alaska fish species

Throughout the fishing season, anglers can pursue a diverse range of species in the region’s crystal-clear waters. The early season offers prime opportunities for targeting rainbow trout that have spent the winter undisturbed, making for exciting and aggressive strikes. As the summer progresses, the rivers come alive with returning salmon, creating ideal conditions for anglers to test their skills against these powerful fish. Dolly Varden, lake trout, Arctic grayling and Northern pike also provide excellent fishing throughout the season.

Later in the summer and early Fall, as salmon begin their spawning cycle, trout and char become highly active, feeding on drifting eggs. This natural event leads to some of the most productive fishing of the year, with large sized fish eager to take well-presented flies.

Whether you’re casting for trophy trout, battling hard-fighting salmon, or enjoying the beauty of Alaska’s wild rivers, The Ridge Lodge delivers one of the most mesmerizing fishing experiences.
