Iliamna River Lodge

FreshwaterLake Iliamna — Iliamna River at the east end of the lake, near Pedro Bay

The owners of Rainbow River and Royal Wolf lodges also run this one, on the Iliamna River near the eastern end of Lake Iliamna, reached by way of the village of Pedro Bay. Up to 10 anglers and five guides split the week between the home river, fished by jet boat and on foot, and Beaver floatplane fly-outs, for rainbows, grayling, char, pike, Dolly Varden and all five Pacific salmon. Non-anglers have kayaks and fat bikes, razor clams to dig on the coast and bear-viewing flights.
