Fishing Program

Big Ku Lodge fishes some of the select waters of the greater Iliamna/Katmai region of Bristol Bay. These waters include Moraine Creek, Battle Creek, American Creek, Kulik River, Brooks River, but emphasizes fishing the Big Ku which is under private lease. While all five species of Pacific salmon, arctic char, Dolly Varden, and grayling abound in these waters, Big Ku is first and foremost dedicated to providing its clientele with the unparalleled trophy rainbow fishing. Short daily fly-outs in well maintained float planes take anglers to the stream where they will access the water by raft, jet boat or foot. Big Ku also has some of the state's most experienced and productive guides. Big Ku is a large system and can fish well with spey rods especially early and late in the season.
 

"We loved this little six angler lodge, the lodge managers, Brian & Katy, and our guides. The whole experience just seemed to match what we enjoy in a fishing trip. All logistics were executed like clockwork. The location of Big Ku as home water, plus being in the heart of a large system of fisheries, make this a very special place. The consistently large and acrobatic rainbows far exceed the norm in the lower 48, at least in my experience." Mark Lance, Co
