Why Consider Angler’s Alibi for Salmon Fishing?

3/28/2012

 
Angler’s Alibi is considered to be an excellent Alaska salmon fly fishing lodge to travel to when you are targeting ‘salmon on the fly’. Why is that though?  Location, location, location…Angler’s Alibi is located right in the center of the tidewater on the Alagnak River, which is part of the Bristol Bay Watershed.  This region has the largest salmon runs in the world and the Alagnak  River is one of the top 3 salmon rivers in this area of many rivers – so, guests of Angler’s Alibi Fishing Lodge are in the heart of great salmon fishing…all five species.​

Angler’s Alibi Salmon Fly Fishing

3/27/2012

 
​Angler’s Alibi is in a location to intercept fresh sea run Pacific Salmon the minute they enter fresh water on the very tide they ride in on.  We are an Alaska salmon fly fishing lodge on the Alagnak River, right in the middle of the tidewater. What this means it that on every tide during the salmon fishing season, the current of the river slows down, and the level of the river rises as much as 4 feet. On the larger tides, the current actually reverses in front of camp. What does this mean to the fly angler looking to target Alaska salmon on the fly?  Fresh chrome bright Alaska salmon right out your door for 7 straight weeks! We fish from camp no longer than a maximum boat ride of 10 minutes throughout the season to keep our guests on fresh salmon every day (note: we do offer fly-out fishing trips as an option)

Angler’s Alibi and Fly Out Fishing Alaska

3/25/2012

 
In addition to great fishing being available through a quick boat ride from Angler’s Alibi Alaska Fishing Lodge, we also offer fly-out fishing trips to Katmai National Park and other streams in the Bristol Bay area. We do consider ourselves to be an Alaska fly out lodge since we offer this service, but we do not own our float planes, we charter with Branch River Air from King Salmon Alaska. The fly out fishing in this part of Alaska is legendary, and we fly to the best possible streams to capitalize on the best fly fishing Alaska has to offer every week we are open.

Bristol Bay Salmon Fly Fishing Lodge

3/23/2012

 
Angler’s Alibi is located in the Bristol Bay Watershed on the Alagnak River. This is one of the top spots in Alaskan for fishing for all species of salmon – and we take full advantage of the world’s largest salmon runs Bristol Bay has to offer. We specialize in catching king salmon, silver salmon, sockeye salmon, chum salmon, and pink salmon daily on the tides as we are located only 6 miles from the salt. The tides affect the current at camp, even reversing the flow on larger tides.

We are only open for 7 weeks a season when the lower tidewater section of the Alagnak River is teeming with fresh salmon – we look forward to helping you find them!

When is the best time to come to Angler’s Alibi?

3/23/2012

 
“When is the best time to come to Angler’s Alibi?” is a great question that we obviously are asked quite often. The answer really depends on what you or your group of anglers is looking for. The salmon enter the Alagnak River almost to the hour every year as if set by a computer. This allows the fishing guides of Angler’s Alibi to know exactly when each species will be available to target.

Angler's Alibi - 2011 Season Summary

3/23/2012

 
​This past season, Angler’s Alibi Remote Alaska Fishing Lodge is happy to note that guests had one of the top 3 king seasons since opened our doors in 1994!

Right from the first day of the season, the average king per boat tally was in double digits and the guides never looked back. The king salmon fishing only continued to get better throughout the month of July until finally slowing down the last week of July when we still were able to land 13 king salmon on the last day of the season with 2 rods targeting kings only after lunch!

Review of an Alagnak River Fishing Camp – Angler’s Alibi

3/20/2012

 
Review from Tom H.

Angler’s Alibi…Wow! This year will be my sixth trip and I’ve been looking forward to it since the last day of camp in 2011.
I know there must be a lot of great fishing places in the world but I don’t see how they can measure up to the high standard set by the Angler’s Alibi Team. Not only is the fishing spectacular, but the camp staff is superb!
Angler’s guides not only take you where the fish are but have the patience to show even the novice how to fish. This is a place where I fish for 9 hours a day and if I want more, they provide it…that’s if I can take myself away from the food.
You wouldn’t think it possible to prepare such fine meals at deluxe tent lodge but their chef (TJ) is marvelous. Bottom line, I find it difficult to believe that you could have a better fishing experience anywhere than at Angler’s Alibi. In fact, I think it’s so great that I’m going for two weeks this year.

Answering…Why Fish the Alagnak River with Angler’s Alibi?

3/13/2012

 
When looking for prime Alaska trophy trout and salmon fishing, the Alagnak River should be at the top of your list.  The river yields an  abundant number of beautiful fish every summer. Giant Alaskan King Salmon are  routinely caught weighing between 30-50 lbs. Of course it certainly doesn’t hurt to have a top of the line professional guide taking you  right to the fish, and this is what you get when you fish with Angler’s Alibi On the Alagnak River.
