Alaska Salmon Fishing on Afognak Island

A close up of an angler holding a large silver salmon caught while fishing in Alaska.

Although Afognak Wilderness Lodge has a wide variety of Alaska adventures, salmon fishing remains a favorite among our guests. Is it the opportunity to catch a trophy-sized salmon? Or maybe it’s just the feeling of doing something quintessentially Alaskan. Either way, it’s no secret that salmon fishing around the coast of the Kodiak Islands is an experience worthy of any outdoor enthusiast’s bucket list.

A Kodiak Island Fishing Lodge Like No Other

As the only permanent residence or lodge on Afognak Island, Afognak Wilderness Lodge is the ideal location for a genuinely remote experience. Given our secluded nature, it’s understandable that you may be worried about roughing it. You’ll be glad to know we’re proud to offer rustic yet roomy log cabins, modern services, hot water, and 24-hour electricity. You can also expect wall-to-wall carpeting in your bedroom, excellent views of the forest or the nearby cove, and contemporary bathrooms. You’d be surprised at how many remote Alaska fishing lodges don’t offer all of that! And there’s nothing like retreating to familiar comforts & chef-prepared meals after an exciting day of chasing salmon-–in addition to saltwater fishing for halibut, lingcod, yellow-eye, and other rockfish.
