Hoodoo Lodge

FreshwaterAlaska Peninsula — lower Hoodoo (Sapsuk) River and the Sandy River

Hoodoo Lodge stands on private land inside the Alaska Peninsula wildlife refuge, about 8 river miles up from the mouth of the Hoodoo, also called the Sapsuk, and a sister lodge sits on the nearby Sandy River. Hoodoo weeks are fished by jet boat and on foot, first for kings, then all five salmon, then coho until early October, and each week includes one floatplane fly-out; the Sandy lodge offers king weeks and fall steelhead weeks. The trip from Anchorage and an open bar are in the price, and on Hoodoo weeks each angler leaves with 30 lb of frozen fish in a box.
