LENGTH OF STAY
Standard stay is a 7 night / 7 fishing day package, although there are 4 night / 4 fishing day and 3 night / 3 fishing day packages available. Transfer days are Mondays and Fridays. Please call Yellow Dog for details.

 

THE FISHING
Since the lodge is located in an area unfrequented by others, anglers have pretty much private access to the wide-open fishing in the lake system and the narrows directly in front of the lodge. The lake system boasts one of the largest sockeye salmon runs in the world, which in turn provides food and nutrients for the area's abundant rainbow trout population. All the feeder streams, and especially the narrows directly in front of the lodge, receive a tremendous run of salmon smolt which attract large concentrations of fish to the mouths of these areas. This smolt run provides a very unique attraction that the guides at the lodge call the “Trout Boil”. The local waters have so many predatory fish crashing the smolt that you can hear the “boil” even as you sleep! By nature of its isolated location, Grosvenor can provide an amazingly quaint and exclusive Alaskan experience without using float planes on a daily basis and without sharing the area waters with other anglers. This is an ideal location for groups of friends or family, as six anglers can guarantee the lodge to themselves. The ultimate private setting!

 

Are fishing includes day trips over to Lower American Creek, fishing the narrows directly in front of the lodge, and numerous streams and creeks in close proximity to the lodge. You can also arrange daily fly-outs to some of the best rivers in the regions, including the Kulik, Moraine, Funnel, Brooks, and others.

 

BOATS AND EQUIPMENT OFFERED
Lodge aircraft includes two Cessna 207’s equipped with turbine engines,  one Cessna 26, one DeHavilland Beaver, and one DeHavilland Otter – all of which are on floats.  A Navajo Chieftain on wheels provides round trip transportation from Anchorage.

THE LODGING
The main lodge and dining area overlook Grosvenor Lake, where filling, delicious meals are shared and the days’ fish stories are told. Three guest cabins house a maximum of six anglers, and all are equipped with heat and electricity. A modern bathhouse is located a short walking distance from your cabin. Due to the small number of guests, the personable staff is able to satisfy your every need in remote Alaska.

TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS

Grosvenor Lodge has a fantastic sister lodge located on the nearby Brooks River, meaning that day trips for what may be the best bear-viewing in the region are easily arranged. There are also day trips to the “Valley of 10,000 Smokes” and other area attractions. 

Katmai National Park is one of the last trophy sport fisheries in the world with a 100% native stock of fish. The fish grow and mature slowly due to the short summer season and cold water temperatures, so it is imperative that we do our best to protect this valuable resource. All hooks fished while at Grosvenor are required to be barbless, and only single hooks are allowed (no trebles). In addition to releasing unharmed all rainbows, as required by law, they also release all other freshwater species. Guests may take home a limited catch of salmon depending upon the availability of the fish and the freezer space at the lodge. Upon arrival at the lodge, the guides will show all guests proper fish handling techniques to ensure the vitality of these wonderful creatures.

 

While at Grosvenor, wildlife viewing opportunities abound, so we strongly recommend you bring your camera or video equipment, binoculars, plenty of memory cards and batteries. Each season clients at Grosvenor see a variety of animals such as Moose, Alaskan Brown Bear, Bald Eagles, Wolves, Lynx, and Wolverine, sometimes without even leaving the lodge!
