Bristol Bay has two main home waters offering great fishing. The Agulawok and Agulukpak fishing Rivers which provide some of the region’s most productive and consistent Trout Fishing for Rainbow Trout, Arctic Char, Grayling, and Dolly Varden. The Agulawok River is just a short boat ride from the main lodge. The Agulukpak River, which flows between two lakes, is only a few minutes by floatplane.
These two main rivers also play host to the worlds largest Sockeye Salmon run anywhere in North America and the world. On average, several million fish return to the Wood-TikChik lakes system and surrounding watershed every year.
