At Katmai Sky Lodge, our fishing program is built around access, flexibility, and true wilderness immersion. Our owners and guides bring decades of experience guiding in Katmai National Park, with additional guiding backgrounds in the lower 48 and internationally. This depth of experience allows us to tailor each day to conditions, hatches, and guest goals- whether you’re chasing trophy trout, learning spey casting, or exploring intimate tundra streams.
