Aniak River Lodge

The Kuskokwim River in Alaska has one of the largest annual returns of King salmon in Alaska, and the majority of these fish head straight for the Aniak River. Kings here average 20 to 30 lbs, with some tipping the scales at better than 50 lbs. The Kuskokwim also boasts the largest run of Silver (Coho) Salmon in the state, and of all of its tributaries, the Aniak is the largest producer of Silvers. There is no better place to boat or beach these hard fighting salmon. In addition to the salmon, angling for Leopard Rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, Char and Grayling is as good as it gets anywhere, and offers a challenging and entertaining option to chasing salmon.
