Join Montana Angler guests on an Alaskan adventure to the legendary Bristol Bay Region of Alaska for a prime time week in mid August. We will be targeting a variety of species and will have options to fly to different fisheries every day. August is as good as it gets for targetting monster rainbows in the legendary tributaries of lake Iliamna and the remote fisheries of Katmai National Park. We will be working with our friends at Intricate Bay Outpost which is a smaller 8 person capacity lodge with incredible access to ultra productive fisheries. This will be an "Outpost and Stars" trip with a blend of fly out fishing from the Intricate Bay Outpost with a 3 day float camping trip inside of Katmai National Park.
This unique itinerary will target a wide variety of fly out fisheries in Katmai National Park and the surrounding area in including the productive tributaries of Iliamna Lake. This is one of the best places on the planet to target trophy rainbow trout.
The Alaskan season is short and these primetime dates tend to fill fast.
Trip Dates: August 8-14
This week will coincide with the peak of the "big fish" season when huge rainbows and arctic char move out of lakes an into rivers to aggressively feed on salmon eggs. This window offers a great combination of good fishing and nice early fall weather. The trout are heavy and absolutely electric this time of year.
