Experience Alaska's finest wilderness fly fishing

Join us to fly fish and find adventure in Alaska's most beautiful and diverse freshwater system. In Southwest Alaska at the head of Bristol Bay is an area known as the "Gem of Alaska" the 1.6 million acre Wood River - Tikchik River State Park.

Fishing Bear Lodge and our unique location at the mouth of the Peace River is in the very heart of the Park and gives us unparalleled access and opportunity to share with our guests incredible fly fishing, Alaskan wildlife observation and eco - adventuring all in the magnificence of our pristine wilderness park. These clear water rivers offer some of Alaska's finest fly fishing for rainbow trout, char, grayling, sockeye salmon and northern pike.

Would you like to catch big Rainbows on dry flies while YOU are wading knee deep in a crystal clear river? Lets GO!

Have you ever sight cast to dozens of big Arctic Grayling, watching their every move as they rise to your fly in a gin clear stream? Every day!

Want to test your endurance and see how many wildly acrobatic Sockeye Salmon you can catch before you wear out? We'll do it!

How about testing your nerves fishing the shallow weed beds with huge flies while big Northern Pike surge across the surface to engulf your fly? Arctic Char, how many would you like to catch? Anytime!
