The Angler's Alibi Experience
Angler’s Alibi is located on the tidewater section of the Alagnak River in Bristol Bay, Alaska, at mile 6. This location provides excellent fishing right from our shoreline and even off the dock, while also giving us one of the best bases in the region for a fly out fishing program.
We operate ten guide boats with seven experienced fishing guides and host only twelve guests per week during July and August. Our special fly out weeks are limited to eight guests to ensure everyone has the opportunity to fly daily. This approach allows us to tailor each fishing program to the individual guest. We offer up to nine hours of guided fishing each day, but how much time you spend on the water is always up to you. If you want to slow things down and relax, just let us know. This is your week.
The Alagnak River is known for its rainbow trout, the fish that put this area on the map, as well as all five species of Pacific salmon including king, sockeye, silver, chum, and pink salmon. These fish are caught while they are still fresh from the ocean, bright and powerful. It is possible to target all five species without ever leaving the lodge. Fishing and wading on the Alagnak are easy, with the salmon fishing on the Alagnak River located within a short boat ride and some of the best fly fishing water located directly in front of the lodge.
Our location also allows us to run an outstanding fly out program. When conditions are right, we guide guests to some of Alaska’s top rainbow trout, Arctic char, and grayling waters, including nearby Katmai National Park and surrounding river systems. These fisheries are known for producing some of the largest wild trout found anywhere. On days when flying is not possible due to weather, excellent fishing is always available close to the lodge.
New for 2025, all Weatherport cabins are being replaced with real log cabins. Each cabin will feature a full private bathroom, heat, a large covered porch, and twenty four hour power, adding a higher level of comfort to the lodge experience.
