THE HIGHLANDER LODGE


ACTIVITIES

Some info on the fishing. Please look at the chart below. Traditionally the two best weeks are the last two weeks in July. These weeks are booked first. The second run of Kings are usually running during this time. The Reds start around the last week in July or the first week in August. The Pinks arrive during even numbered years. The best weeks for pinks are traditionally the second week in August on. The Pinks come in such numbers that it's non-stop catching. It's nothing to catch and release 40 or 50 a day. The good thing about the fishing here is, if the target fish aren't in, there's always something else to go for. The upper Kenai river is great for trophy trout. If the kings aren't in the Kenai yet, you can go to the Kasilof river, just down the road. It's a drift fishing river only. A great fly out trip is for silvers across the inlet. This is not exactly wilderness fishing but you will be fishing next to the brown bears. Sometimes within feet of them. There are also true wilderness flyout trips if you desire. If you tire of salmon and trout, there are the saltwater fishing trips. They offer silver salmon still in the saltwater colors, dogfish, halibut up to 300 pounds and lingcod. You can do semi-wilderness canoe trips for 1 to 10 days.
