Reel Action Alaska Lodge

FreshwaterWestern Alaska — lower Kanektok River above Quinhagak

This tent camp sits at river mile 2 on the lower Kanektok River above Quinhagak, about a mile from tidewater inside the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge, and is run by Reel Action Fly Fishing of Rochester, New York. Two anglers share each guide, fishing from jet boats and gravel bars for fresh kings, chums and silvers near camp and for rainbows, Dolly Varden and grayling farther up; most fish go back, and every king does. Each of the 12 guests sleeps in a private heated wall tent with no single supplement.
