Location
This beautiful fly fishing lodge, located in Alaska, is on a high bank that overlooks the Kvichak River in Southwest Alaska. Making its location central between several fisheries, which means its only an average flight to any destination of around 30 minutes. Also, being based right on the Kvichak allows fishing right out of the back door of the lodge using one of the many inboard jet boats.
Another advantage of this is that if the weather was too bad to fly everyone can still go fishing. No See Um Lodge runs a fleet of Beavers from which it is possible to access over 30 rivers and streams for world-class Trout, Char, Grayling, and all five species of Salmon.
These rivers and streams include Moraine Creek, Brooks River, Upper and Lower American Creek, Kulik River, Copper River, Talarik Creek and as far South as the Egegik River and Ugashik Narrows to name a few. Although many customers at No See Um Lodge like to pursue the Trout, Char, Grayling the guides are just as happy to spend as much time as you desire to go after Salmon.
For the more die-hard Salmon anglers, the lodge also holds boats on both the Nushagak and Alagnak rivers that provide for incredible Chinook or King salmon fishing, and quite possibly the best Chum and Silver fishing on the planet.
Fishing
The fishing at No See Um Lodge will be with just nine other anglers and conducted in many different ways. For the customer wanting to target the big Kings and Chum Salmon, it is best to swing large flies with Spey rods.
For the smaller Salmon, you can fish with shorter lighter rods such as 12ft switch rods which make great both single and double Spey fishing. You can then even fish with 5# single-handed rods with dry’s for the many Trout and Grayling. You will be using boats to access the river, and the majority of the fly fishing is done by wading on foot.
