Welcome to the land of dreams
The Katmai region of the Bristol Bay area holds the greatest freshwater river and stream fishing in Alaska. Bristol Bay rivers have the largest Pacific salmon runs on earth. The rivers and streams of Katmai are infused with wild Alaska rainbow trout and grow some of the largest trout on earth. The Naknek River, home water of the lodge, grows trout upwards of 30 inches.
Looking for adventure? The rich ecosystem of Katmai and the Alaska Peninsula supports the greatest population of Brown Bears on earth as well as a myriad of other wildlife such as moose, caribou, walrus and migratory birds. Katmai & Lake Clark National Park, Becharof & Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge, Aniakchak National Monument and tens of millions of acres of other wild public lands are a very short distance from us. We’ve been finding the hidden treasures of these regions since 1988 while building a superior adventure vacation destination.

5 out of 5 stars. The best, anywhere
Dear Orvis, I fly fish all over the world, each year. I have been to over a dozen lodges, and Crystal Creek is the most professionally run trout, char, salmon, waterfowl operation anywhere. They have access to world class rivers, a fleet of beavers in perfect condition, terrific guides, and the food is superb. Importantly, Dan Michels considers fighting for the protection of Bristol Bay as central to the lodges responsibilities as a steward of these rivers and lakes, and has played a critical role in supporting my organization and the Bristol Bay Defense Fund. When we needed to take a group of funders and conservation partners over the Pebble mine site, Dan and his staff dropped everything and personally flew us around. This led directly to much needed support and as a result the Bristol Bay Defense Fund was able to prevail in winning the support of all the key organizations in Bristol Bay to support action by the EPA to stop the Pebble. Thank you Crystal Creek!
