Guth's Lodge at Iliamna River

To the Iliamna/Bristol Bay region. The center piece of Alaska’s national fishing treasure. Not only are we located in the heart of Alaska’s prime fishing waters, our central goal is to provide you the opportunity to enjoy the most remote, personalized, and affordable experience possible (because sport fishing, in the first place, is the experience.) If you envision clear water, pristine vistas devoid of crowds and human encroachment; streams, rivers and coastlines with abundant wildlife; and above all, great fishing; then we want the opportunity to serve you.

Our facilities are located where access to the fishing is as logistically uncomplicated as possible and the ambiance lacks the metropolitan feeling of locations such as a downtown motel or neighborhood. This trip is truly for those wishing to temporarily leave civilization behind while still enjoying the comforts home.  Though nestled in the mountains of the Chigmet  range, the main lodge boasts indoor plumbing in each guest room, full time electricity, satellite internet, carpeted floors and lots of room.  Each guest room has its own bathroom, and the weekly roster is normally a maximum of eight people in double and single occupancy rooms.

 Charters, fly outs, and guided fishing are not extra charges here! Even the air taxi charter to and from Anchorage is also included in the trip price. We won’t rent you a boat and leave you on your own in brown bear country.  We only ask that you bring your own liquor, waders and personal effects. Everything else is provided or can be reserved.  We politely ask you to compare the value we provide against others offering the same or similar services in the Alaskan Bush.  Our lodge is family owned and operated by local Alaskans with generations of experience in the northwestern fishing and guiding industry.  Not only is it our desire to provide you with the best fishing experience possible, we also want you to become lifelong friends willing to refer our services to others with whom you associate. Return customers are the majority of our business and your name deserves to be on our guest list!
