A message from Kate and Justin:

We started The Lodge at 58* North with the understanding that fishing is about more than just catching. Our full-service lodge on the Naknek River in beautiful Bristol Bay, Alaska will be your base for extraordinary hospitality, world-class fishing, and fulfilling experiences.

Each of us began guiding in Bristol Bay in 2008. It was an immediate love story that we invite you to be part of. When you visit The Lodge at 58* North, we’ll take you by land, sea, and air to fish waist-deep in waters rich with salmon, Arctic char and trophy rainbow trout. And you’ll do it all under the watchful eyes of The Midnight Sun among the brown bears, moose, bald eagles, foxes and many other animals that call this region home.

Whether it’s an afternoon spent watching bears at nearby Katmai National Park & Preserve, a lazy morning with a delicious homemade breakfast or an action-packed day flying around The Bay, we’ll pull out all the stops to make sure you have an experience unlike anything else. We want you to leave with a bounty of fish, a deep appreciation of the breathtaking landscape and a fond connection to our community here in Bristol Bay.

There is magic in this land. Come up and see it!
