Trophy Catch & Release King Salmon

Every summer, wild King Salmon surge into the Togiak River fresh from the Bering Sea. Bright, powerful, and unbelievably strong, these fish represent one of North America’s last great fly-fishing challenges.

Togiak River Lodge is the only full-service fishing lodge on the entire Togiak River, giving our guests unmatched access to one of Alaska’s most remote and lightly pressured king salmon fisheries. With no crowds, no long boat rides between competing lodges, and miles of productive water, you’ll experience a fishery that feels remarkably wild.

Our Spey season is designed specifically for anglers who dream of swinging flies to fresh king salmon. Each week we host just 14 anglers, ensuring generous access to the river and a relaxed pace both on and off the water. On average, guests have nearly 1.5 miles of river per angler, allowing everyone to spread out and fish water that hasn’t been worked over by crowds.

These kings are fresh from the saltwater, aggressive, and built for powerful runs that test both angler and tackle. Whether you’re an experienced Spey caster or chasing your first king on the fly, our guides tailor each day to maximize your opportunity while helping you become a better angler.

Conservation is central to everything we do. All king salmon over 20 inches are released, helping preserve this remarkable fishery for future generations while allowing anglers to experience the thrill of battling one of Alaska’s greatest game fish.

If you’ve been searching for an authentic wild king salmon adventure—one defined by solitude, stunning scenery, and unforgettable fish—the Togiak belongs on your bucket list.

Kings, Chums, Sockeye, Pinks, Rainbows & Dolly Varden

The perfect trip to catch a little bit of everything. Angler’s Adventure season offers guests the opportunity to catch four out of the five Pacific Salmon species that the Togiak River has to offer. A typical day usually starts with targeting King Salmon in the morning, and focusing on other species in the afternoon. During this time period the Togiak experiences good numbers of King Salmon and incredible numbers of Sockeye, Chum Salmon, Pink Salmon, Dolly Varden and Rainbows. All of these fish can be targeted on conventional gear or fly rods. Both of which are provided by the lodge.

Whether you want to experience the epic battle that King Salmon have to offer, flossing sockeye on a gravel bar or catching 30 Chum Salmon in a row twitching jigs and everything in between, Angler’s Adventure Season has something to offer for you.

Fresh Silvers, Rainbows, Voracious Dolly Varden

The freshest Silver Salmon of the season, crazy jet boat rides up small streams, Dolly Varden and Rainbows on the fly rod. What more could you ask for? In our humble opinion if you are looking for small intimate river fishing for Rainbows, Arctic Char, Pink Salmon plus some Alaskan Silver Salmon action, this my friend is the time period to join us.

Silver Salmon can be targeted on twitching jigs, spinners and spoons, weighted clousers and streamers. Pink Salmon are much the same as Silvers when it comes to gear that they can be target with, but typically a little less picky. When targeting Rainbows and Arctic Char soft or hard beads that are free drifted or fished under a indicator are most effective as they imitate single eggs coming from Spawning Chums, Sockeye, Kings and Pinks.

The Highlight of the Alaskan Silver Salmon Run

What more needs to be said? If you are looking for the most epic, the most mind boggling and exciting time to target Alaskan Silver Salmon on the Togiak. This.Is.It.

If you are looking to catch pure numbers of these acrobatic chrome bullets and have your shoulder fall out of its socket at the end of the day, this is the time to be here. Now let’s not get to carried away. The earlier August dates are good for Silvers. You’ll catch a lot of fish and go home smiling. But this time frame is when the weird stuff starts happening.

Late August and September is when you get the privilege of seeing these fish stack up in numbers you’ve never seen before. By day four you are so bored of catching them on the “go to gear” you switch over to the things you never thought a Salmon would bite. Top water flies, plug cut Jimmy Dean Sausage, spinner baits for bass, and top water frogs. This is when there are so many Silvers you get to be really creative. You get the chance to see 1,000+ fish in one side channel, staged and waiting to go up river to complete their journey. There could not be a better time to see pure volume of Silver Salmon.

Silvers and Waterfowl. The Ultimate Sportsman Trip.

Acrobatic Silver Salmon in Gobbs and unpressured waterfowl? We have found the best of both worlds. Southwest Alaska has a very healthy migration of water fowl in September and October as birds start their journey south to Canada and the lower 48. The Togiak River and its estuary is a untapped waterfowl hunters paradise.

On top of these unpressured birds, are great numbers of Silver Salmon and late season rainbows that can be targeted when not in the duck blind. Silvers can be targeted effectively on spinners, spoons, twitching jigs and many other conventional hardware lures. As well weighted pink/purple clouser minnows and and streamers. Rainbows are fiesting ravenoulsy on flesh from a summers worth of spawning Salmon as well as salmon eggs from the remaining spawning Salmon. Thus, they can be targeted on flesh flies and soft or hard beads that are free drifted with or without an indicator.
