GENERAL INFORMATION
No See Um Lodge sits directly on the shores of Alaska’s famous Kvichak River, surrounded by thousands of miles of pristine waters and wilderness. No See Um has proudly earned the reputation of being one of Alaska’s finest fly-out lodges with unsurpassed service that puts this operation in a class by itself.

LENGTH OF STAY
Standard package is a six day / seven night package (Monday to Monday).

THE FISHING
Being located in the greater Illiamna region, No See Um concentrates primarily on trophy rainbow trout, along with artic char, dolly varden, and grayling. All five species of Pacific salmon are available, depending on the time of year. The fishing at No See Um Lodge changes almost daily. The small number of clients (ten per week) allows for a different fishing experience every day. Jack and the pilot/guides will give you the best options nightly so you can decide what you would like to experience during your fishing the next day. Daily options are dependent upon weather, water conditions, time of year, and physical factors. The guest-to-guide ratio is never more than 2-to-1, so you can be assured that no matter what your needs are, No See Um can and will accommodate them. With two DeHavilland beavers, a Cessna 206 (all on floats,) and numerous aluminum jet boats, No See Um has no trouble getting you to the fish. An extremely beneficial part of each day is that the lodge planes do not leave your side while you are fishing. This ensures safety and better fishing by providing the option of a quick and easy relocation if needed. Also, with the lodge being located directly on the banks of the Kvichak River, there are no missed days due to weather. The lodge is just 30 miles down from the mouth of the Kvichak, which drains Lake Illiamna. The lake is the second largest freshwater lake in the U.S. – covering over 1000 square miles – and holds the world’s largest wild rainbow trout. Whether you're a veteran fly fisherman or a beginner, No See Um is the perfect Alaska trip for you!

BOATS AND EQUIPMENT OFFERED
Two DeHavilland Beavers and a Cessna 206 (all on floats,) and aluminum boats equipped with Yamaha jet motors. For accessing the trout regions of the Kvichak, the lodge has three 22-foot inboard jet sleds equipped with heaters for your comfort.

THE LODGING
Located 300 miles southwest of Anchorage in the world famous Bristol Bay watershed, the lodge sits directly on the banks of the Kvichak River. Several buildings comprise the lodge, including the guesthouses, which have five bedrooms. Each bedroom has two twin beds and a complete private bathroom. With an excellent view of the river, you can relax in your room after a long day of fishing, enjoy the comfortable lodge with a full complimentary bar, or sit streamside in the Jacuzzi. Other amenities that are included are phone service, internet access and 24-hour electricity.
