LOCATION
• Located 80 miles southeast of Cordova, Alaska, a small
fishing community on the Prince William Sound.
• The Kiklukh Lodge sits on a bluff overlooking the Kiklukh
River and the Gulf of Alaska. Behind us sits three mounts ranges:
the Robinson, Chugach and Saint Elias with the Bering Glacier in between.
• A two minute drive by ATV from the lodge, the Kiklukh River,
is approximately eight miles, of low gradient, free flowing water from two
mountain lakes. The water is small, averaging forty to sixty feet in width,
depending on the water level, with an average depth of just over three to
five feet. The lower three miles of the river is flat and braided with excellent
holding water and runs for incoming fish. The upper river is narrow with
higher water volume, offering more shoot and run type fishing conditions.

FISHING
Our fishing season at the Kiklukh Lodge runs from late August through
the middle of October. Our trips run from Friday to Friday. The Kiklukh
River surrenders to an annual run of silver salmon, somewhere in the nature
of 20,000 fish. This specific strain of Coho along the North Gulf Coast
is larger in average than the Coho in southwest or western Alaska. Coho
on the Kiklukh average twelve pounds, with many fish taken during a week's
fishing between thirteen to eighteen pounds. Each year several fish in the
twenty-pound category are caught and released. The unofficial lodge record
was a weighed, fly-caught chromer that tipped the sales at twenty-two pounds
and four ounces.
LIQUOR
Anglers are asked to bring their own spirits. The lodge will provide all
the set-ups. If you enjoy wine with dinner or a cold beer for lunch, we
can have it waiting for you at the camp and you can pay for it on arrival.
CATCH AND RELEASE
Each guest is allowed to keep and bring home six salmon. In the spirit
of sportsmanship and conservation in preserving these world-class fisheries,
we ask that all trout and steelhead be released. We also ask that all treble
hooks on lures be replaced with single barb less hooks. Your salmon will
be cleaned, vacuumed sealed or wrapped and boxed for shipping home. There
is always a batch of salmon in the smokehouse for hors d’oeuvres while
at the lodge.
FISHING LICENSES
Fishing licenses can be purchased at the lodge. A fourteen-day Alaska
fishing license costs $50.00 and a seven-day license costs $30.00.
