Two hundred and fifty miles southwest of Anchorage lies the "Bristol Bay Wild Trout Area". This area is Alaska's famous rainbow trout country. Rainbows, as well as char and arctic grayling are available throughout the season, and lake trout and northern pike are available in June and July. Each year five species of pacific salmon burst from the Bering Sea by the tens of millions to spawn in the lakes and rivers. The phenomenal angling is a result of the salmon run's enrichment of the lakes and streams of the "Wild Trout Area".

Founding the first sport fishing lodges in southwest Alaska's Bristol Bay Area gave aviation pioneers Ray Petersen and John Walatka the "pick of the hot spots". They named the lodges "Angler's Paradise". Operated today by Ray Petersen and his son Sonny Petersen, the three "Angler's Paradise Lodges" are the standard of excellence, located in majestic wilderness settings with superb fishing right in their back yards. And, being centrally located in the best trout and salmon fishing area of Alaska, gives "Angler's Paradise" guests the best and easiest access to hundreds of miles of lakes and streams.

The three lodges of "Anglers Paradise" offer uniquely different experiences, but no matter which lodge or combination of lodges you choose to visit, the fishing can't be beat. Friendly professional guides are the key to your satisfaction. The knowledge of the fishing waters and terrain accumulated by our staff since 1950, assures you a truly exceptional fishing experience.

At "Angler's Paradise", you will relax and renew yourself with superb fishing and breathtaking scenery. The comfortable accommodations and company of other sport fishing people make this a truly perfect vacation spot.
