Lodging Details
For the 2024 season, Alaska Steelhead Company is proud to be accommodating guests in their newly renovated lodge - perfectly situated near the area’s top fishing locations. The lodge is perched on the edge of a 200-foot cliff offering spectacular views overlooking the Cook Inlet and has been meticulously planned to provide guests with a great Alaskan stay and experience. The lodge itself boasts both single and double-occupancy rooms and cabins with private bathrooms and can accommodate up to 13 guests at a time. The lodge has five (5) single occupancy rooms, 3 rooms with private bathrooms and 2 of the rooms share a bathroom - perfect for buddies or parents and kids. The stand-alone double occupancy cabins each have 2 beds, a private bathroom, full kitchen, washer and dryer, fireplace, and living area. The lodge also features a central relaxing/dining area, fireplace, bar, and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the landscape each evening.

Food and Beverages
Alaska Steelhead Company prides itself on delivering an incomparable culinary experience during each guest's stay. Chef Felix Barron and his team take a lot of pride in providing an exceptional menu and experience to all guests, so do not plan on going hungry!

The day begins with strong coffee and a hearty breakfast each morning. A shore lunch is provided streamside each day consisting of sandwiches, soups, snacks, and hot beverages on the colder days. Feel free to bring a flask as well for a hot cider in between fishing runs.

After your day on the water, dinner will be served back at the lodge and is a highlight of the day. Guests will enjoy a three-course meal with wine pairings each evening, consisting of fresh and locally sourced meats, halibut, salmon, crab, and delicious sides. Chef Felix and his team spare no expense and are happy to accommodate any dietary restrictions or special requests/cravings as needed.

Non-Angling Activities and Options
While Alaska Steelhead Company is a fishing-focused destination, this is also a great program for any non-anglers who would like to join and experience the incredible area. The lodge will provide guests with a vehicle (and host if requested) to accompany if you would like to discover the area on your own to see the sights and explore. ASC can also arrange for several other non-angling activities including day trips to Homer, fly-out sightseeing tours and bear viewing, hiking, clam digging, beach combing, and photography outings. The lodge also has a masseuse on staff daily if guests wish to take advantage of this service during their stay.

Internet / Communications
Wi-Fi access is available at the lodge. Cell phone reception can sometimes work depending on your carrier and the location.

How to Get There
Guests will begin their trip by flying from their hometown to Anchorage International Airport (ANC). From there guests will book flights with the domestic airline Grant Aviation from Anchorage (ANC) to Kenai Municipal Airport (ENA). The flights are affordable (around $130.00 USD) and there are a couple of options each day. It is recommended that anglers fly into Anchorage the evening before their trip is scheduled to begin to stay the first evening in Anchorage. Upon arrival into Kenai, guests will be met by Alaska Steelhead Company and driven 40 minutes to the lodge. While in Kenai ASC will make a quick stop to pick up any liquor or anything you might have forgotten. There is an option to arrive in Kenai early and get in an additional day of fishing for any angler who would like to extend their time on the water ($500.00 additional per guest).

General Information
With incredible access to numerous rivers and streams along the Kenai Peninsula and Cook Inlet, Alaska Steelhead Company has honed its fishing program over many years to deliver some of the best wild steelhead fishing that can be found anywhere in the world. Because of this and the exceptional runs of wild steelhead this area receives each fall season, ASC can provide multiple fishing scenarios to guests throughout their stay. Options include swinging flies, skating dry flies or nymphing on larger rivers via boat, hiking smaller streams, helicopter access to very remote areas, and even floating in rafts and inflatable kayaks if the conditions are right for the adventurous angler. ASC and their team will work with anglers each evening to go over the plan for the following day and tailor each week to accommodate anglers’ desires during their trip. Steelhead is the typical main draw for most guests, but ASC also has some opportunities for incredible silver salmon and dolly varden fishing as well.

While the state of Alaska is typically recognized for its resident trout and salmon fishing opportunities, ASC is in a league of its own in providing diverse and world-class fishing opportunities for one of the planet’s greatest wild steelhead runs.

Boats and Equipment
Alaska Steelhead Company has a variety of drift and jet boats available for their guides to access different areas of the watershed each day. Most of the boats are used as a means of transportation each day to get anglers to the best wading options throughout each watershed. A very unique aspect of the ASC program is each angler does have one helicopter/plane fly-out included in their package to remote, untouched fisheries during their stay (option to add on more at an additional rate). ASC does have access to numerous helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft that allow their team to explore all the area has to offer!

The lodge can also outfit any guests with high-quality fishing rods and reels during your stay if preferred. Flies, terminal tackle and any fishing gear needed are included in your package. It is requested that all anglers bring their own waders and non-felt boots during their stay.
