Answer the Dream... Bear Bay Lodge

Welcome to Bear Bay Lodge! We are a premium fishing lodge located 350 miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska, in the Bristol Bay Drainage. Bristol Bay-area rivers and lakes, like the world famous Nushagak, are renowned for their runs of wild Pacific salmon and thriving resident populations of rainbow trout, arctic char, arctic grayling, northern pike, lake trout and dolly varden.

The waters surrounding Bear Bay Lodge are a fishing paradise. The diversity is incredible, the productivity exceptional, and experience is singular and special in every way. Our lodge packages, for example, feature daily fly-out fishing excursions that deliver you to the best fishing in the area. That means one day you can be fly fishing for trophy rainbows, the next day drift bait for monster King salmon, and a day later be on the hottest pike bite you have ever experienced. Our guests expect the best and that's exactly what they get at Bear Bay Lodge.

Add to that all the other possibilities. We are located right on the shoreline of Lake Aleknagik just a short drive and a boat ride from Dillingham. The lake and some of its tributaries boast fabulous fishing for char and rainbows while, some of the more remote waters we fish are home to gigantic grayling and big rainbows that by any standard are genuine trophies.

Bear Bay Lodge attracts guests from all over the world and all levels of fishing skill because of the service and experience that is served up daily. Our low weekly guest count makes every week special and exclusive. The accommodations are comfortable and nice, much better than most would expect to find in this remote corner of the world. The scenery is spectacular. The food is wonderful and the service is outstanding.

Our guests agree it is the total experience that makes Bear Bay Lodge such a wonderful getaway. Sitting around the warmth of a summer campfire, walking our nearby trails, relaxing in the comfort of our lodge with a good book or stepping into our hot tub and melting away after a successful day of fishing.

There is nothing quite like a shore lunch Bear Bay Lodge-style where well-seasoned cast iron skillets sizzle with fresh fish over open fires that inspire smoky aromas that will have you salivating.

Meals are generous, the details are addressed and the staff is eager to serve up the very best Alaska has to offer.
