Angler's Alibi

FreshwaterBristol Bay — lower Alagnak River

A former No See Um guide started Angler's Alibi in the early 1990s: log cabins at mile 6 of the lower Alagnak, where the river is still tidal, 25 minutes by floatplane from King Salmon. Two guests share a guide, fishing the sandbars by the lodge for all five Pacific salmon, jet-boating upriver to the trout water of the Alagnak braids, or flying out into Katmai. In June and September the lodge takes no more than 8 guests, and fly-outs are included every day.
