 August 2025 at ATA Lodge was full of great guests, and great fishing!   In this fishing report we will be "telling the story" of what happened here at ATA Lodge mostly pictorially with a few words scattered through out this blog post.  So keep on scrolling through these images of what August 2025 looked like at ATA Lodge and you will also be able to read the whole narrative.  The pictures will not be organized as in past fishing reports as per species, or subject matter.   We have decided to just upload most of them as things happened through out the month.  We hope you enjoy vicariously the visual journey through the whole month of August here on...

   July on the Alagnak Wild and Scenic River is something that every outdoor lover should experience at least once in their lifetime, whether they are a fisherman or not!   It's like stepping back in time, into a world that hasn't changed since time immemorial.  Salmon run so thick that you feel as if you can walk across the river on them... Wildlife roam free and undisturbed by modern life...   You step into the river and you sometimes feel as if you are the first person in history to ever explore this wild and pristine landscape!  If you thought our fishing report from June was exciting, let me tell you July has been ON FIRE!!!  Read on to...

Bent Rods and Tight Lines! I'd have to say that this may well have been our best season ever in many different ways!  But I mention this related to the fishing in particular!  We didn't have a bad or slow week all season long!

There's no other way to say it....Fishing in June and July at ATA Lodge this season in 2024, was EPIC!  

We’re Back!!!  And back with a vengeance!!!   Welcome to June Trout Fishing at ATA Lodge on the Wild and Scenic Alagnak River of Bristol Bay, Alaska!!!
