At the end of the day each guest retires to their own private room. This is one of the few lodges in this part of Alaska where a private room is standard. You will sleep on a real bed (not a foam pad on plywood, and all windows view over the lake. Bathrooms are just steps away in the lighted hall.
For couples, special suites with a private bath in the room are offered. |

The goal is to utilize the areas various fisheries while they are in their prime. To do this they will fly you and your group out to different rivers and streams depending on the species that you are interested in.
Each evening groups gather to discuss the experiences each guests is seeking. The guides will then get the necessary gear put together in their tackle room (which doubles as a great story telling hang out). The next morning after breakfast you board one of their float planes and head out with a guide (or to a spike camp with a guide waiting) to one of the many world class, and in some cases world famous, rivers and streams of the region. Depending on the location, jet boats are are hand to take guests up and down the river to fish from or get you to different gravel bars for wading.
Because of a short growing season, all native species must be released, no exceptions. With the advent of graphite mounting techniques, there is no reason to keep trophy fish. If you are interested in taking back some salmon, your guide will fillet or steak them, vacuum pack them in suitable portions and freeze them. Upon your departure your catch will be put into an airline-approved waxed fish box for the trip home.
There are a few trout and salmon fisheries close to the lodge that can be reached by boat during rough weather periods when planes are grounded.
Whether you have been to Alaska twenty times or this is your first time, Mission Lodge will be an unforgettable experience of great fishing, unsurpassed comfort and most importantly - FUN! |

The staff will whisk your gear to your room, while you shake hands with the hosts and then pick up your fishing license and sample yummy appetizers.
