Igiugig Lodge is located right at the mouth of the Kvichak river. The Kvichak is a big river draining Lake Illiamna, the largest lake in Alaska. Though much of the water on the Kvichak is big by any standard, there are miles and miles of intimate braids containing the famous monster Iliamna rainbow trout. This is river is "the river" for the biggest baddest rainbow trout on planet Earth. 

At Igiugig Lodge they'll also fly you to other rivers and lakes in the area. Fly-Outs give them the flexibility to fish where the fishing is exceptionally good. Their location allows them to quickly reach the best fly fishing streams in Alaska. From Igiugig Lodge you can reach streams that have trophy rainbows, explosive-striking pike, beautiful grayling, arctic char, and of course, salmon. The fishing on the Kvichak may be so good you won't want to leave, but what's a trip to Alaska without float planes and big fish?

The bottom line is that Igiugig Lodge is about the fishing. Brad Waitman is the owner, pilot, and guide of all the fly outs. He is a serious angler and has been a professional guide in Bristol Bay since he was a kid. I wouldn’t put many guides in front of Brad. And, the experienced guides he employs are normally some of the most knowledgeable of the Kvichak River as they fish it everyday.

The lodge has a large comfortable living room with a well stocked fly tying table, books and a 40" flat screen TV for your enjoyment.
