Intricate Bay Lodge

With an entirely rebuilt facility, Intricate Bay Lodge spares no expense for its guests. This operation, catering to only 10 guests, prides itself on providing an intimate, personal and quality experience in the heart of Alaska’s Bristol Bay region. With fantastic fisheries nearby such as the Copper and Gibraltor, along with fly outs to all the favorites like Moraine, American, Talarik and others, anglers can expect to fill their stay with fantastic fishing while enjoying the luxury of new accommodations in a very private setting. The facility itself sits on the shores of Lake Iliamna. With fantastic views of the lake from the stunning deck, which includes a wood burning hot tub, guests will quickly see why owner and operator Brian Harry has so much passion for sharing his place with others.

Located on the Eastern shore of Lake Iliamna, Intricate Bay Lodge provides easy access to some of the best wild rainbow trout found anywhere in the world. Nearby rivers like the Copper River and Gibraltor River are easily accessible via jetboat from the lodge and consistently produce great numbers of rainbow trout. Prolific fisheries such as Moraine, Funnel, Battle and American creek are reached by flying short distances from the lodge into Katmai National Park. The lodge offers day float trips on the upper Copper River and flights to the west side of Cook Inlet for chum and silver salmon. Guests may also mix in great northern pike fishing on the sloughs and coves along the lake. The lodge can provide all the needed tackle for any fishing needs and guests will be paired with guides who pride themselves on providing a custom personal experience.

The lodge includes five double occupancy rooms with private baths along with a vaulted ceiling common area where guests can warm themselves around the stone fireplace while sharing stories of the day’s spoils. Appetizers are served daily and guests can enjoy their cocktail on the deck overlooking Lake Iliamna, the largest lake in the state. The upgraded kitchen contains professional grade equipment put to best use by an expert chef curating meals for a fine dining experience. Guests may even have the chance to enjoy a wonderful BBQ outside on the deck, taking in the scenery while warming themselves under the heaters. For those travelers that need to stay in touch, the lodge includes wireless internet and satellite TV,
