Well, we thought we better give an update on the end of an amazing season on the Wild Alagnak River at ATA Lodge, in Bristol Bay, Alaska.  We want to thank all of our fantastic clients that made this season one to remember!  It's been a while since we've blogged about how things went this year, but that doesn't mean that we haven't had anything to share....just so little time since we've been so busy catching so many fish!  :)   As we already mentioned in our last couple blog posts, we got a huge run of Sockeye Salmon this year; with tens and even hundreds of thousands coming in every day during the month of July and into early...

They say a picture paints a thousand words!  Well, we say these happy faces tell the story of ATAL!  We have been so blessed with fantastic clients these past weeks since our doors opened!  And they have been creating memories to last a lifetime and thankfully they have been willing to share their "stories" and pictures with us (and now with you) of their time on the Alagnak Wild River while staying at ATA Lodge! As week 3 of July rolled in we started catching King Salmon in good numbers!  These are strong, hard fighting fish that have only been in the river from a few days to a few weeks as they stage to start spawning in August.  ...

We are having a great season on the Wild Alagnak River at Alaska Trophy Adventures Lodge!  The fishing has been HOT!  The wildlife viewing and photography has been fantastic! We have had an outstanding run of Sockeye Salmon and our clients have been limiting out in a few hours everyday! And despite the big numbers of salmon in the river we are still catching some great rainbows too! It's hard not to just stop and marvel at the beauty of the location. And it's not just the guys that are getting in to the action.  Our women clients are showing everybody how to get the job done too! Meal times are a great time to make new friends and as...

We've Been Slamm'n Salmon for the past week on the Wild Alagnak River.  The Sockeye have been streaming past in their 10's of THOUSANDS!  One day they estimated 300,000 entered the river!  We expect them to keep running strong for the next 2 1/2 weeks!   We've had some great clients coming through our doors and have enjoyed introducing them to this amazing river! It's fun sharing the river with our neighbors, like this beautiful Moose! But with the arrival of the first waves of Sockeye Salmon, the Bears have started to show up and we are seeing Bears every day now chasing after the fresh fish.  But that means that Moose sighting are becoming increasingly rare as they fear...

Great Day for a Fly Out over the Katmai National Park to Hallo Bay to view the Coastal Brown Bears! A view only seen by Eagles! Big Brown Bears on the Coast before the Salmon arrive during mating season and foraging on sedge grass and clams on the coast. Up Close and Personal with the Coastal Brown Bears of Hallo Bay! Happy Clients! Our Air Taxi Awaits to whisk you back to ATA Lodge! Bird's Eye View of ATA Lodge!  A Moose in the creek as we come in for a river landing on the float plane. All in all, a great time was had by all! So, what are you waiting for?  We would love to show the very...
