Katmai National Park and Preserve is located on the Alaska Peninsula in Southwest Alaska, with headquarters in the nearby town of King Salmon, about 290 miles southwest of Anchorage. The park and preserve cover 4,093,077 acres. Most of this is a designated wilderness area in the national park where all hunting is banned. The park is named after Mount Katmai, its centre piece Volcano. The area was first designated a national monument in 1918 to protect the area around the major 1912 volcanic eruption of Novarupta, which formed the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. The park includes as many as 18 individual volcanoes, seven of which have been active since 1900. Following its designation as a national park, the...

"Wayne, You have the best spot on an extremely rare river! I have fished all over Alaska for over 30 years since 1984 and if I had to pick just one place and only one, it would be your lodge on the Alagnak River!
This picture is my son Joe at 12 years of age with a true 50 lb Chinook caught at the Confluence (6 miles above ATA Lodge).
See you soon,Dave DlubakIthaca Guns"

Katmai National Park has become well known for its salmon run which attract both bears and people alike. Katmai contains the world's largest protected brown/grizzly bear population, estimated to number about 2,200. Apart from its famous Brown Bears, Katmai also has moose, grey wolves, beavers, otters, porcupines, wolverine and other mammals. Marine mammals include hair seals, sea lions, sea otters, beluga whales, orca and grey whales. Caribou occasionally winter within the park. Each year millions of salmon enter Katmai National Park from the Bering Sea. They swim up into the lakes, rivers and streams of the area to spawn. These fish provide a food source for Alaskan Rainbow Trout and other fresh water fish. This is Alaska’s famous sport fishing...
Northern Pike are ferocious predators prone to attack both top water and subsurface flies. The Alagnak River holds a stable population of Norther Pike during the summer, deep backwater slews or small isolated lakes are where you will find them sitting in ambush. Their explosive takes and prehistoric look is what sets them apart from other fish in the area, but they are built for short fast strikes and not long sustained fights so they often come quickly to the net.
A 7 wt. rod is sufficient when fishing for Northern Pike, but be sure your guide has wire leader before going after them as they have large sharp teeth.
MAIN FISHING PERIOD: June through August
Lake Trout are the largest of the char family and can grow to a massive size. They are Alaska’s largest resident fresh water fish. With distinct spots, elongated bodies and deeply forked tail fins they are easy to identify. On the Alagnak we mostly see these fish during the early season (June through the first week of July) when they are chasing migrating smolt from the lakes down into our river system. They are aggressive feeders and will prey on anything and everything in our rivers. If anglers want to target these fish later in the season it is just a short boat ride away to assess one of two lakes full of Lake Trout. A 7/8 wt. rod with slow...
