Aniak River Lodge

FreshwaterKuskokwim drainage — Aniak River, above the village of Aniak

Eight weatherport tents, each with its own bathroom, make up this camp upriver on the Aniak, a tributary of the Kuskokwim; the camp is operated out of a base lodge in Aniak village. Anglers go two to a guide, fishing from jet boats and wading braids and side channels for mousing rainbows, char, grayling, pike, sheefish and all five Pacific salmon, all on single barbless hooks. Every guide is assigned 10 to 15 miles of river, and the beats rotate daily.
