No See Um Lodge
No See Um Lodge AlaskaThe willingness of No See Um Lodge's team to provide the best for their guests, both on the water and at the lodge, has put the lodge in a class by itself.  Enjoy the comforts of home and the thrill of huge wild rainbow and salmon tugging on your fly line.....

No See Um Lodge, one of Alaska's first fly-out lodges, is a family-run operation that was established by Jack Holman in the early 70's. Today his son, John, who is both a pilot and a guide maintains No See Um's well-earned reputation for pampering and pleasing its guests. Everyone at No See Um is anxious for your trip to Alaska to be the trip of a lifetime. The lodge is staffed by the finest talent available, especially the guides which are the best in Alaska. 
  • Safety conscience exceeding all standards.
  • Fish for the world's largest wild trout.
  • Chase 5 species of salmon.
  • Family run operation since 1970
     
Fishing
 
Like Alaska, in general, the fishing changes daily and consequently each angler will have the opportunity to customize each day.  Whether you choose to throw dry flies to rainbows or chase whatever salmon is running the river, the flyout staff will strive each day to insure you, the angler, with an experience to remember.  The guides pride themselves in helping every degree of angler on a daily basis.
 
It is important to note, that while successful fishing is the main goal, the lodges commitment to safety is apparent in the way they operate as well as with the equipment they use. Their fleet of aircraft is maintained to a standard well above that required by FAA regulations. Pilot standards are also more stringent than required. A safe and successful fishing trip is guaranteed to be a memorable one.

Three hundred miles southwest of Anchorage Alaska is the world famous Bristol Bay watershed. Bristol Bay, an arm of the Bering Sea, is bounded on the south by the Alaskan Peninsula. The bay, about 250 miles long and 180 miles wide at the mouth, is shallow and well known for rich salmon fisheries.
 
The Kvichak River drains Lake Iliamna, the largest lake in Alaska and the second largest freshwater lake wholly within the United States. Covering approximately 1,022 square miles, it holds the worlds largest wild trout.
 
No See Um is located about 30 miles down from the lake and about 25 miles up from the bay. At this part of the Kvichak, the depth ranges from 2 ft to over 30 ft.  The width of the river directly across from the lodge is approximately 340 yards.
 
Accommodations
 
The lodge is built on a high bank overlooking the Kvichak River.  The guest houses have a total of six bedrooms, each equipped with two beds and a complete bathroom.  A lounge with bar and wood stove enhance the comfortable Alaskan setting.
 
After a full day of fishing, you can enjoy the relaxing and friendly atmosphere at the lodge while sipping a beverage or cocktail of your choice. Sample delicious appetizers before dinner. No See Um's sauna is fired up daily and the Jacuzzi is always hot.
 
Gourmet meals are prepared by their world class chef.  With a little advance notice, accommodating your special needs is easily done. Fresh breads, rolls and desserts are prepared daily in No See Um's bakery. Select red and white wines are served with dinner.
 
Electricity is available 24 hours a day, as is telephone and Internet access.
