Fishing from Volcano Bay
The fishing in this part of Alaska is nothing short of Fantastic if you want to fish for wild runs of unmolested Silver Salmon, Pink Salmon, Chum Salmon & Dolly Varden. We have access to 4 river systems from the main lodge without flying out to include Russell Creek, Trout Creek, Frosty Creek and Mortenson Lagoon.
Our rivers are fairly small and running shallow and fast with a mixture of glacial gravel and cinder bottoms. Most of the fishing is pocket water fishing with small brightly colored purple and pink streamers for the Salmon, and egg patterns for the Char & Dollies using a 7wt fly rod and a floating line with a small amount of weight added to the leader.
Travel
To Volcano Bay
Travel to this part of Alaska is fairly simple since Penn air has flights to Cold bay departing Anchorage Daily. You will need to make arrangements with Alaska Wilderness travel in Anchorage or your local travel agent to arrive in Cold bay on the start day of your trip usually a Sunday afternoon. From there we will fly you out to the remote river in our 2 passenger Piper, The Red Baron is equipped with high performance landing gear and Beach tires for this specialized flying .
Most guest's will have to fly to Anchorage the previous day and spend the night and catch the morning flight to Cold bay with Penn air. At the end of your trip we will return you to the local airport in Cold Bay and you will catch a return flight to Anchorage arriving in the late afternoon. Due to the commercial airline schedules many guest's may wish to stay over again in Anchorage and catch a morning flight back to there home airport.
Weather at Volcano Bay & Izembek Lodge
The weather in this part of Alaska is unpredictable and during the fall season can vary from rain to high winds. During September the average daily temperatures range from 45-55 degrees with a few real nice days reaching the mid 60's. So everyone should pack and dress accordingly in layers of Polar fleece with a good rain and wind shell as the outer layer.
Expect it to be windy as the average year round wind blows 12-15mph in Cold Bay at the airport. But this doesn't slow us down as we have gotten used to it and made adjustments in our fishing techniques.
If your coming in October then the weather can be a little cooler and get down to the mid 30's at night but normal day temperatures will usually reach 40-50 degrees. If planning to flyout to one of our remote camps or flyout day trips please remember that if the winds exceed 30mph we will not fly our small planes with passengers aboard for safety reasons, As there is no Fish or game worth an Airplane Accident.
