Land of the Midnight Sun…..The Last Frontier…..The Great Land…..Alaska
The Deshka River begins just south of Denali. Kroto and Moose Creeks flow south from Denali National Park and join together to form the Deshka River one of south central Alaska’s finest salmon and trout rivers.
Your Alaska adventure begins the moment you depart for our lodge from Regal Air on Lake Hood, the largest seaplane base in the world. They will fly you into our remote wilderness lodge just south of the Alaska Range (about 70 miles northwest of Anchorage by air).
Our fly-in location gets us faraway from the crowds and into some of the best remote river fishing south central Alaska has to offer.
Fly-In: Magnificent Scenery
Our guests are flow into our lodge from Lake Hood in Anchorage. During the flight in you will be treated to views of the Alaskan Range and you may even see Denali (North America’s highest mountain) on a clear day.
As you fly towards our lodge the view out the front window will be the magnificent Denali (Mt. McKinley), North America’s highest mountain.
Your pilot will bring you down on the Deshka River where we will meet you and take you further into the wilderness by boat to our remote lodge fifteen miles up the Deshka River.
You Have Arrived: Deshka Wilderness Lodge
Once you arrive you will be greeted by wonderful accommodations, great hospitality and no crowds. Our lodge has a comfortable home like atmosphere and since WE TAKE ONLY FOUR GUESTS AT ANY TIME you will receive plenty of personal attention from your hosts, Mike and Linda Yencha, not a staff hired by owners you may never even see. Mike and Linda have been in the lodging and guiding business for over thirty years now and have the experience needed to make your trip enjoyable, exciting and successful.
The Deshka River starts at the foot of the Alaska Range and is a clear water river, not glacier fed. The Deshka is a premier Alaska freshwater river. It is well known for its great runs of King salmon (Chinook) and Silver salmon (Coho)as well as large numbers of Rainbow Trout. The river also has large runs of Pink Salmon on even years plus opportunities to fish for Grayling and Northern Pike. The Deshka is truly Alaska fishing at its best.
Our location on the river above the rock garden offers isolation from the crowds and remote fishing you won’t find in many other places. Most of the time we have the river to ourselves. Our jet boats give us access to miles of river and side streams and offers our fishing guests a choice of fishing from the boat or putting on a pair of waders and getting into some great river fishing. Not only will you experience great river fishing and Alaskan scenery second to none but you may even be lucky enough to see Brown Bears (Grizzly), Moose, Eagles or other wildlife while spending the day on the river.
And Then, The Fun Begins!
We offer several packages, including 3, 6, and 7 day All-Inclusive Guided Fishing Packages and a 2-Night King Salmon Fishing Package. See our Packages Page for details.
All fishing packages include lodging in our comfortable guest rooms, hearty homecooked meals in our riverfront dining room, round trip airfare from Anchorage to our lodge, jet boat and guide service for the specified days of the package of your choice.
We’ll also furnish the essentials you’ll need to enjoy the ultimate fishing adventure, with waders or hip boots, spinning tackle, lures and bait if needed, filleting, packaging and freezing of your catch.
Just out the door of our riverfront Alaskan lodge you can fish from shore and hook into a mighty king salmon in the pool out front. Or just a walk around the bend and fish the riffles leading to the pool below and there is no telling what you may catch depending on the time of year. So if you have been looking for an Alaska fishing lodge for a fly fishing trip or if you love to spin cast for fish, here at Deshka Wilderness Lodge we will give you an Alaskan fishing trip to remember.
