Becharof Wildlife Refuge

About Becharof

In 1978, Jimmy Carter designated 1.57 million acres of Bristol Bay as a national monument, later becoming Becharof National Wildlife Refuge. This diverse landscape includes rocky coastlines, tundra, mountains, and the second-largest lake in Alaska, making it a must-see destination.

The refuge offers activities such as sport fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Visitors can see Mt. Peulik volcano and Becharof Lake, a 35-mile long and 600-foot deep lake that is the hatchery for the world’s second-largest run of sockeye salmon, contributing an estimated 6 million salmon annually to Bristol Bay fisheries.

Sport Fishing in Becharof National Wildlife Refuge

The opportunities to fly-out to remote streams within the refuge begin in early June and continue until late October. The streams and lakes draw anglers to fish for salmon along with trout, arctic grayling, Dolly Varden, and more. Cast mice patterns to large grayling, strip bright flies to coho, or indicator fish to trophy char. This wildlife refuge has breathtaking scenery and heart-racing fishing.
