Provider: Mission Lodge This second week of August is the week that everything seems to come together. Year after year this is the week that the bubbles burst and the best of both worlds folds into one spectacular week. If you are looking for excellent silver salmon fishing and equally as great trout, char, and dolly varden fishing this is it. Under brilliant blue skies we chased fish all over Southwest Alaska, looking for that trip defining moment. For long time guests more |

Provider: Mission Lodge Where are the words that can sometimes so easily fall into place when you are all set to describe extraordinary fishing and fish? Quite possibly they are lost in the myriad glitter and gleam; in the flat, galvanized light reflected from scale; in that steady gaze that goes right past you to the infinite. These lost words are cheap when put against the real thing. Photos rarely proper service to their captives. So where do we turn when the words more |

Provider: Mission Lodge It was a week where the rain fell heavy at times, where the wind sometimes drove it harder, frustrating anglers looking for any way to push a cast into the challenging conditions. When the casts fell the fish were there. Silvers are pouring into the Nushagak, crashing into flies and lures, chasing them into the shallows, waking behind surface flies before pulling them under in a gulping swirl. We are catching most of our fish within the reaches. more |

Provider: Mission Lodge Mission Lodge Fishing Report Our time is set to no clock, follows no etched path, wanders ahead, stalls out, falls behind, time tied to salmon, to the spinners fall, the trouts rise. Wading the myriad currents, casting flies, feeling the dissolution of worry, carried away like the fine gravel beneath your feet. Waiting for that sip, that splash, that tug, all the colors in sharp focus, the sounds overwhelming, happening in a rush like fire allowed more |

Provider: Mission Lodge Mission Lodge Fishing Report Rick Holson lands a King Salmon on the Togiak River Our days pass, days of primal light, perfect arrangements of color. No voice can speak of this. We begin them all believing that there is something to be felt; something to tell us we are heading in the right direction; something that brings us to that electric tension between angler and fish. It’s a search for limits, for tolerances, for ways of dealing with... more |

Provider: Mission Lodge Mission Lodge Fishing Report Owner, Dale DePriest enjoying a moment with Mack Chase After a week of warm weather, seemingly unseasonable for this part of Alaska, this past week began with much cooler temperature and rain. The Chinook must have felt our distress at this turn of events and responded by keeping rods bent and drags burning. What more could you ask for to kick of our Mack Chase week than unbelievably good salmon fishing. Mack himself... more |

Provider: Mission Lodge Our first week of the season at Mission Lodge coasted in on the soft belly of clear skies and a warm breeze. We welcomed back the Benson family, who brought some of their close friends to partake in the Mission Lodge experience. We set out on the first day with resident fish at the forefront of our consciousness, but if we stopped for a moment, lingering there was a glimmer of King Salmon. The Agulakpak produced an abundance of Arctic… more |
