Latest News from Chignik

The 2019 King season has been nothing short of a blessing for the crew and guests at Chignik Bay Lodge. The river has been fishing as well as we have seen in any recent years with loads of rocket hot 25+ pound fish. The Salt water has been producing a constant supply big Halibut. Every week or guests have broken 100 fish and have left with beautiful boxes full of prime halibut, ling cod and salmon fillets. We are excited to start booking for the 2020 season. Here is our 2019 mid-season newsletter: Sunny 2019 PDF

Big Ling’s, Slow King’s, Chunky Halibut and High Flying Coho 2018 did present some challenges as the Chignik River King run was weak again.  We were fortunate to have tight lines and great fishing for all our other species.  We are anxious for the King’s to fill our river and return to our past fishing expectations.  We had some very good days on saltwater Kings, excellent Coho in both the river and salt, and really quality, fine fishing for Ling Cod and Halibut.  Beasts from the depths kept us entertained as we hooked into good numbers of large fish.
