| | Crown Jewel: Iliamna |
 | | Centered upon mighty Lake Iliamna, the drainage represents the sum of the Alaska freshwater fishing experience—wild and remote rivers, popular hotspots filled with lore, salmon runs of mind-boggling proportions, hefty and numerous resident fish, bald eagles, caribou, moose, bears, and even a rare population of freshwater seals. |
 | | While we are at the lodge from August 12-14, typically a rainy period for southwest Alaska, we find ourselves blessed with cloudless, 75-degree weather. |
 | | These are not the largest trout in Alaska, but certainly large by most worldwide trout standards and the ability to fish in seclusion for these rare gems is a true pleasure. |
