A fly-in fishing lodge 250 miles from Anchorage. Owner-guided trips for wild rainbow trout and salmon on the Copper and Gibraltar rivers, for beginners and seasoned anglers alike.
Welcome to Legend Lodge, your gateway to the most exhilarating salmon and trout fishing in Alaska.
Nestled in untouched forest above Lake Iliamna, the largest lake in Alaska, the lodge is a true fly-in destination. Guests arrive by float plane from Iliamna, settle into a lodge with running water, electricity and high-speed internet, and spend their days on rivers we call home. Whether you are a seasoned angler or looking for your first catch, our waters are teeming with wild rainbow trout, sockeye, king and silver salmon, char, grayling and northern pike.

Jack and his crew taught me to fly fish, and within a day I was having the time of my life. Highly recommended!
I learned quite a bit about running a guide service from Jack. Come out and see what Alaskan fly fishing is all about, you won't be disappointed.
The best part about Legend Lodge is getting away from the busy world. We saw at least 5 bear and caught our salmon limit with ease, 10/10.
