Alaska Fly Fishing Lodge

WILDERNESS FISHING JUST 45 MINUTES FROM ANCHORAGE

Established in 1984, Northwoods Lodge is a premier Alaska Fly-in fishing lodge owned and operated by lifetime Alaska residents, Eric and Shan Johnson, and their family. Nestled on Fish Lakes Creek, with access to many clear-water tributaries of the Yentna River, we offer outstanding spin and fly fishing in the heart of Alaska’s wilderness – with no daily fly-outs that can be cancelled due to weather. All of our fishing is done right from the lodge, ensuring you spend more time on the water and less time waiting on flights.
