Our large lounge has a natural stone fireplace and is a wonderful place to relax and share stories of the day's adventure.We have an excellent cook and serve hearty meals, home made soups, healthy fresh salads and fresh baked deserts. We accommodate special dietary requests. Unique to Stephan Lake Lodge is our series of outlying cabins. These rustic log cabins are warm, dry and comfortable. They form a loop through the Alaskan wilderness and are a comfortable day's walk from each other.Your GuidesJim Bailey, owner and operator of Stephan Lake Lodge, is a Master Big Game-Fish Guide and Alaskan bush pilot.

Our PhilosophyJim Bailey, owner and operator of Stephan Lake Lodge, is a Master Big Game-Fish Guide and Alaskan bush pilot. Jim has guided in the Stephan Lake area for over twenty years. His love of the Alaskan wilderness is reflected in his personal philosophy:"Our purpose is to provide a true Alaskan adventure for our guests. Safety and comfort is always my top priority. The success of our lodge depends on the quality of service we provide guests, from the moment we greet you at the plane until we say good-bye. Your needs are important to us. We are proud of our lodge and respect the natural beauty surrounding us. We work hard to maintain this beauty and leave nothing behind but foot prints."
Guided Fishing and Hiking Treks in Alaska's Wilderness with Stephan Lake Lodge Stephan Lake Lodge is for discriminating anglers who want to experience Alaska's finest stream fishing for salmon and rainbow trout. Our guests delight in releasing 20 to 75 trout per day or sight-casting to salmon, many of which take up to an 10-30 minutes to land on a 1O-weight flyrod. If you're looking for variety, try wading our pristine mountain lakes and streams for Arctic Grayling, Dolly Varden Char, Sockeye Salmon, Silver Salmon and Lake Trout. Each day you'Il fish in harmony with Nature's beauty and interact with the abundant wildlife. Few other areas offer both size and number of fish, in remote mountain solitude, away from the crowds. At Stephan Lake Lodge, you'll enjoy Alaska wilderness sport fishing the way it is meant to be. See what the experts have to say about Stephan Lake Lodge. Or better yet, call me for details on how you can personally enjoy what writers have called "Alaska'spremier trout and salmon stream. "Sincerely, Jim BaileyMaster Hunting - Fishing Guide

Reviews

Stephan Lake Lodge has received rave reviews from the country's leading fishing books and magazines.

At Stephan, Sanchez hooked and landed 76 kings in one week ranging from 30 to 60 pounds. He later received notification from the National Freashwater Fishing Hall of Fame that he had swept all the line-class fly fishing categoties from two to 16-pound tippit, as well as the unlimited category."

Western Outdoors

"Power packed angling adventure. I've fished for salmon and trout all over Canada and Alaska, and sight-casting flies for trophy salmon at Stephan is fabulous sport."

20 Great Alaska Fishing Adventures

"The fishing for rainbows and salmon is outstanding, and the service exceptional.

We're proud to award Stephan Lake Lodge our Lodge of the Year Award"

The Alaska Angler

"Nested away in the isolated valleys of the Talkeetna Mountains, Stephan Lake Lodge still offers premier, wild stock Rainbow Trout fishing. We tallied up the figures: 143 Rainbows from 18 to 26 inches caught in one day."-

Alaska Outdoors

Magazine

"Stephan is a premier fishing lodge that offers fantastic fishing for a variety of species...it's a fly fisher's dream; you sight-cast to 30-50 pound king salmon finning lazily in the current. I've caught as many as 75 to 100 trout a day. Singer John Denver has visited the lodge twice. ..Foreign film crews have used the lodge as a base of operations for major films" - Fishing the Northcountry
