Summer Sun

Beautiful evening shot of the Lodge.  

Paradise

A beautiful morning on the Kvichak River, taken from the view of our guest cabins. Let's go fishing!!

Still Working Hard...

Nellie Williams is clearly working hard this season opener showing us how to catch two 26" rainbows, one hen and one buck, in the same
"hardworking" day.

26" Lady Luck

While fighting mines and doing Spring research in Bristol Bay Nellie Williams with Trout Unlimited took a few moments to wet a line. Luckily she happens to be at Alaska Sportsman's Lodge on season opener to do so! Here she is doing her job with a 26" beauty.

Sorry to the fellas on our staff as I'm sure you'll agree...here are the prettier faces of Alaska Sportsman's Lodge

Fishing the mouth of a lake can deliver some surprising catches. Although the target this day was rainbow's and we certainly caught a quiver of them...we weren't too terribly disappointed when this beautiful lake Trout ended up on the end of Rick's line. Nice Job!

First 30"+ of the year! Eric Dompeling-Breaking the ice...

First 2010 orientation...
A couple fine Bristol Bay mornings...

We've been working and preparing for 8 months for this week to come and we are thrilled it is here. Remnants of winter from Lake Iliamna greet us as we rev up the engines on the boats, turn the plane props, and grab a few rods to see what the river has to offer. As sure as the sun rises in the East we are not disappointed. It is so quiet out here on the river the only sound that rises is the river's body wrapping around the silhouettes of our boats and gently passing under the floats of our planes. We truly celebrate what an incredible playground we have and that we are able to share this playground with our friends...

Cheers to 2010 season at Alaska Sportsman's Lodge...we'll see you soon.

Ahi in a season of sockeye and kings!

Nothing to change the landscape of a season hot with sockeye and kings like a little tuna.  Another fine meal to wet the clients palate and keep em guess'n at Alaska Sportsman's Lodge.
