In July of 2021, ATA Lodge had the distinct honor of hosting the film crew of Our Planet II for two weeks, providing access, lodging, meals and professional services to the film crew. It was a "hush, hush" project, but the secret is now out.... Our Planet II is a new 4-part Netflix series from Silverback Films.

We have just been informed that a group that had booked the chalet every year for two back to back weeks during prime/peak Sockeye Salmon fishing weeks, have had to back out. So, we now have spaces for 6-8 anglers, during each of two weeks that are rarely available, to have access to our best accommodation during our 2 best Sockeye Salmon fishing and Bear Viewing weeks of July 2-9 and July 9-16, 2023. We are offering group bookings of 6-8 at a very special price for this type of unique opportunity.  Please get in touch with us at: atalodge.wayne@gmail.com, as soon as possible, if you may be interested in looking to get the best of what we have to offer for...

We have had a late start due to Covid19, but we are happy to announce that we are Open for Business As Not So Usual!   And what a great time to be here at ATA Lodge on the Alagnak Wild River!! Normally we would have an opening week starting June 8th with a lodge full of guests here for the great trout fishing that we have at the beginning of the season before the salmon start to arrive.  But this year we were forced to close for the whole month of June because of complications related to the Covid19 pandemic.   What that meant for us, is that our staff got to do a little fishing between opening up projects and...
