Welcome! Bear Bay Lodge is located 350 miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska in the heart of a region called Bristol Bay.

Bear Bay Lodge offers beautifully appointed cabins and chalets that embrace breathtaking vistas. Chalets offer three beautiful bedrooms carpeted and furnished with various designs; the chalets can comfortably accommodate six to eight guests. Each bedroom has two beds, some with queen size beds for couples, and each of them have private baths.

Three meals provided per day including breakfast and dinner at the lodge and box or shore lunches served by your guide.

You can fish most of the great rivers of Bristol Bay from Bear Bay Lodge. The Nushagak, Agulawok, Agulapk, Kokwok, King Salmon, and Wood rivers all are world renowned for all species of fish. During our week in July, you can expect hat massive runs of Sockeye and Pink Salmon will flood area rivers. Chinook Salmon will still be
available in some rivers. Rainbow trout will be ravenously feeding on salmon eggs. Pike fishing will be very good and grayling fishing will be at peak.

Beautiful fabric, lightweight, incredibly supple & totally waterproof. Is the most popular lightweight wading jacket of 2002.
It never rains in the desert...right! Mike and Marty are caught here field testing their Simms Freestone Jackets on the John Day River 12/28/02. It rained all day when it wasn't hailing or snowing. Mike is pictured with ice covered shoulders and hood. The grin on his face will tell you he is warm and dry. Oh, that nice big native buck might have something to do with it too.

Rio GrandSpey Fly Lines
RIO introduces the GrandSpey™, the finest long belly spey line on the market and based on a very true and tested taper. In 1895, Alexander Grant cast a

massive 195 feet with his design of a continuous taper line. Rio improved the front taper from this original design so that it easily casts big flies and sink tips, as well as adding a body and back taper. The end result is a spey line that is designed to do one thing — cast long distances. The GrandSpey is ideal for the caster who prefers not to shoot line, but to fish in the traditional method of cast and swing. This line is recommended for the more advanced spey caster.
