As you can see, especially those who are on their way up in the near future, fishing is very good. We have had erratic weather this Fall with winds reaching up to 110 mph in Anchorage and surrounding areas, flooding rains and of course the spectacular crystal clear Fall days with electric colors we wait all season for. Despite what Mother Nature has thrown at us we have managed, quite well I might add, to hook into the line-ripping, all mighty, Kvichak River Rainbow's. Stay tuned for the next few weeks.......</div>

Some individuals attract lightning, some attract mosquitos, some attract bears. This client, Tom Cole, for the last 3 out of 4 years has come to the lodge and attracted a 31.50 inch rainbow Trout, everytime. That's some serious magnetism. <br />

Well King Salmon fishing is officially over at the Nush and what a run it was!! We were very fortunately to be on one of very few rivers in Alaska that allowed King Salmon fishing this season. Mike & Linda Leary tie it up with a bang. On the same day, they haul in two fantastic fish showing us what a spectacular river the Nushigak is!ASLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12208517787961831388noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199977211335787438.post-87802906826873382622012-07-15T13:02:00.000-07:002012-07-15T13:02:00.713-07:00Cycle of Life<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For those of you who have been to this magical place, know what I'm speaking of when I say there is no river more beautiful, pristine, and majestic as the all mighty Kvichak River. Here is a beautiful shot that could be mistaken for Caribbean waters. The angler standing alone casting for the allusive rainbow Trout, knows this is a very special place indeed.</div>ASLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12208517787961831388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199977211335787438.post-5128988551157618262012-06-28T15:24:00.000-07:002012-06-28T15:24:22.670-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Although the camera man who shot this image is dead after trying to get to close for a photo opp. We do appreciate his sacrifice, as it is rare or maybe just not wise to capture a Bristol Bay grizzly feasting on a Moose. <br />

King fishing is off to an excellent start at Alaska Sportsman's Lodge. Here an ASL client holds his prize, fresh from the Nushagak River. <br />ASLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12208517787961831388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199977211335787438.post-78377772984404566462012-06-27T00:09:00.001-07:002012-06-27T00:09:21.108-07:00Tasty!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Dinning is a big part of any fishing trip to a lodge. We are proud of our culinary program at ASL and are very happy to have Chef Alex Chase working in the kitchen. he, along with his crew of Lorraine, Michele, Sara, Breanna, and Tue, help cap off an excellent day of being on some of Alaska's most productive and beautiful rivers by creating mouth-watering meal presentations.

A couple of pics from the successful first few days of the season. These two monster native rainbow Trout were caught by two guests at Alaska Sportsman's Bear Trail Lodge on the NakNek River.

The fishing season in Bristol Bay opened this week and fishing (catching) was much hotter than the temps for the most part! Mornings saw 35 degree temps yet the rainbow Trout were very hungry. The NakNek and Kvichak were red hot. Our anglers landed 7 fish over 30" on the NakNek while the Kvichak saw guests land as many as 45 fish in one day! We hope this is a sign of the things to come for this season!ASLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12208517787961831388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199977211335787438.post-33350410626040095342012-05-21T13:55:00.003-07:002012-05-21T13:56:29.794-07:00EPA's Assessment of Pebble in Bristol Bay<a href="http://www.anglingtrade.com/2012/05/21/sportsmen-applaud-epas-assessment-of-bristol-bay-alaska/">http://www.anglingtrade.com/2012/05/21/sportsmen-applaud-epas-assessment-of-bristol-bay-alaska/</a><br />

<br />August 29 marks the first major fog delay here at the Sportsman's Lodge, "forcing" guests to stay and fish the Mighty Kvichak in the morning.

We have had days where we land 50 King salmon between two anglers in one day! There is no place left in the world that yu can catch those kinds of numbers of King salmon. Our "King Camp" is about 40 minutes by float plane from Alaska Sportsman's Lodge. The sockeye salmon have also shown up with good numbers so now is the time to have a great combination trip of Kings and sockeye. We have clients that have caught Kings all day long and then returned to the lodge, had a nice dinner and then go right in front of the lodge to catch their limit of sockeye! What a great time to be here!ASLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12208517787961831388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199977211335787438.post-54848219768486207972011-06-28T13:53:00.000-07:002011-06-28T15:08:19.717-07:00Youngest trainees...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPSLuJ8eARj3jisyT9Xhi_JAytgobUNdhgABzzbUvsLE_NH5ZsEmjGEEa2g8aKfemsnyJV82HZdunvfxjE9rb3LWeGS2GfCzyV3Y1YV_Jr_s49wYzJ69Rgax7aIhZ21aqp2pFi3BGY2TZy/s1600/girls.JPG"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623376779847176594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPSLuJ8eARj3jisyT9Xhi_JAytgobUNdhgABzzbUvsLE_NH5ZsEmjGEEa2g8aKfemsnyJV82HZdunvfxjE9rb3LWeGS2GfCzyV3Y1YV_Jr_s49wYzJ69Rgax7aIhZ21aqp2pFi3BGY2TZy/s320/girls.JPG" /></span></a><span style="color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-size:85%;">We make sure our staff; the pilots, guides, housekeepers, chefs and kitchen crew are <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">world class.
