World Class Fishing at a Full Service Wilderness Lodge

The lodge is on a wide spit that rises gently out of a beautiful fjord called The South Arm of Ugak Bay. AlpenView opened it's premiere season on June 10, 2000 under the experienced management of Dave Jones.

Fishing
Fishing is the bread and butter activity at AlpenView. Ugak Bay provides a world class saltwater fishery for silver, king and pink salmon, halibut, lingcod and a variety of rock fish. The streams draining into Ugak Bay offer great freshwater fishing for sockeye, silver, pink and chum salmon and dolly varden. AlpenView maintains a variety of boats to access these fisheries, the queen of which is the C/V FINLANDER. Both fly and conventional tackle are used throughout these fisheries and are provided to our guests. See our Fishing page for more information.

Guided Fly-out Fishing
The fly-out portion of the fishing program opens up many freshwater rivers and lakes on the Kodiak Archipelago. This provides some great fly fishing for salmon, rainbow trout and dolly varden. The fishing is world class and the flights themselves are exciting and beautiful. See our Fishing page for more information.

Take home fish
The lodge has a smoker, vacuum packer and a freezer so fish cleaning, freezing and/or smoking are available. Space is limited and so is mother nature so we ask that guests don't get carried away.

Don't want to fish all day, every day?
Other activities offered at AlpenView are designed to satisfy a broad range of interest. In this way we strive to be an entertaining destination for the whole family and/or group of friends. Some visitors to Alaska are driven by an interest in fishing, some by wildlife and others are interested in remote relaxation. Whatever your interests in visiting remote Alaska, the staff at AlpenView will do it's best to accommodate you.

Wildlife Viewing and Photography
Many animals make frequent appearances around Ugak Bay. Kodiak brown bear, eagle, puffin and whale are just the beginning. One of the best ways to enjoy the wildlife is kayaking. See our Wildlife Viewing page for more information.

Kayaks are available for touring the South Arm. This is a great way to see the extensive marine life in the intertidal zone.

Hiking in the area can be as casual as a stroll along the beach or as intense as class three mountaineering. A new trail to the high peaks starts at the lodge's back door.

Hunting for blacktail deer opens in August. There is no guided hunting out of AlpenView but guests are welcome to hunt on their own.
