When travelers dream of the best fishing lodge in Alaska, they’re looking for more than just a place to sleep. They want incredible fishing, breathtaking wilderness, warm hospitality, and the chance to connect deeply with nature. At The Lodge at 58* North, nestled on the banks of the Naknek River in Bristol Bay, we bring all of these elements together in a way that’s truly unforgettable.

The Best Fishing in the World, Right Outside Your Door

Bristol Bay is home to the largest wild sockeye salmon run on earth. Each summer, millions of fish surge into our rivers, joined by powerful king salmon, acrobatic silver salmon, rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, and Arctic grayling. This is the best fishing in the world, and you’ll have access to it just minutes from our lodge.

Whether jumping in boats to fish minutes from the lodge or hopping in our float plane to experience the wilderness of Katmai National Park or Becharof Wildlife Refuge, our experienced guides tailor each day to your interests and skill level—whether you’re new to the sport or a seasoned angler chasing the fish of a lifetime.

When Is the Salmon Fishing Season in Alaska?

The salmon fishing season in Alaska peaks from mid-June when sockeye and king salmon fill the rivers in staggering numbers and then coho salmon enter in early August. This timing makes it the perfect opportunity to experience both world-class fishing and the unforgettable wildlife encounters that follow the migration.

Brooks Falls: An Iconic Alaskan Experience

One of the most famous questions travelers ask is: Where is Brooks Falls? The answer: just a short floatplane ride from our dock. We fly guests to Katmai National Park to witness brown bears lining the falls, catching salmon mid-leap. It’s one of the most extraordinary wildlife spectacles on the planet—and a highlight of our summer program.

Luxury Meets Wilderness

At The Lodge at 58* North, the adventure doesn’t end when you step off the river. Our newly remodeled private cabins offer comfort and privacy, each with modern amenities and cozy details. Meals are prepared by our chefs using fresh lodge-grown produce from our greenhouse, paired with locally sourced Alaskan seafood. In 2025, we’ll open our Finnish-inspired sauna and cold plunge right by the river for a restorative way to end your day.

Adventure Beyond Fishing

While fishing is at the heart of what we do, our guests often find the other experiences equally memorable:

• Scenic floatplane fly-outs to remote rivers and lakes
• Hiking and paddling in untouched wilderness
• Cooking demos and cultural storytelling with local elders
• Evening saunas, cold plunges, and time to simply relax by the river

With just 8–10 guests per week, your experience is intimate, personalized, and free of crowds. Whether you’re here to fish hard, watch bears at Brooks Falls, or simply unplug in one of the wildest corners of the earth, our team is here to make it extraordinary.
