(A summary would be good here–location, species, amenities and benefits. )
THE LODGE
The lodge boasts comfortable frontcountry amenities in a stunning backcountry setting and hosts a maximum of eight guests per week to create an intimate lodge experience with ultra-low fishing pressure.
Lava Creek Lodge’s guests stay in double-occupancy cabins with comfortable beds, heaters, flush toilets, and showers with on-demand hot water. The lodge employs a full-time chef to prepare gourmet, hearty meals for anglers before and after each day on the water. Guests enjoy relaxing in the comfortably furnished main lodge, which we keep heated and equipped with high-speed WiFi, snacks, refreshments, fishing literature, and a fly-tying bench. With breathtaking views of four volcanoes, world class-salmon pools, and wilderness home to bears, moose, wolves, caribou, foxes, eagles and countless other wild critters, Lava Creek Lodge could hardly be situated in a more beautiful place.
THE FISHING
The fishing program is divided into three parts in accordance with the seasonal salmon runs. From early June through late July, we focus on swinging flies on spey rods for dime-bright kings that average 15 to 25 pounds and take flies with vigor. In late July and early August, we target resident trout and sea-run dolly varden char in the upper river and swing flies for super-strong chum salmon in the lower river.
Starting in mid-August, we fish streamers and topwater flies for explosive, acrobatic silver salmon averaging 8 to 10 pounds, often catching 50 or more fish a day. Each season provides unique opportunities and world-class fishing, all on a river with no outside competition.
The angling program employs a specialized fleet of boats and airplanes to access all the best fishing venues in the area, and the expert guide staff are dedicated fly-fishing professionals who take pride in creating an unforgettable experience for every guest.
