Fish Species

Look forward to it every summer.

Get to Bearclaw! Amazing fishing and stay! Who knew! You can fish a mayfly hatch in Alaska! The drake hatch was amazing and we caught doubles all day on top! Wow! - We caught grayling, char and rainbow trout and it seemed endless! The food was great and the accommodations met our expectations and what a beautiful place!

I stayed at Bearclaw Lodge last August with 9 other friends and had a great time The accommodations were nice. I shared a comfortable room w/a fellow angler. The guides were very good and we caught a lot of trophy sized fish. …

I have had quite a few visits to Bearclaw and all have been excellent. The staff does a fantastic job at making you at home and the guides will put you on Fish. I would recommend a trip to anyone no matter your fishing experience. You will be well taken care of from arrival at the Dillingham airport until you dropped off for your trip home

Trip of a Lifetime at Alaska’s Bear Claw Lodge I took my family of six, my nephew, and three friends to Bear Claw Lodge in August 2025, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. Every single one of us caught trophy rainbows, arctic char, graylings, and salmon—day after day of unbelievable fishing. The fly fishing was world-class, the guides were top-notch, and the food was absolutely fantastic.

I’ve fished all over—Rocky Mountains (my home base near Yellowstone, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming), seven trips to Alaska, Canada, Mexico, deep sea off California, and even Brazil for peacock bass in the Amazon—and I can honestly say this ranks among the very best experiences anywhere.

The fishing, lodging, guiding, and meals were all five-star quality. The entire experience was delightful from start to finish. If you’re thinking about fishing Alaska, stop thinking and just book it. You want to go here. I absolutely will be returning.
