Ugludax Lodge on Umnak Island
Fish
the Aleutian Islands!
The
Ugludax Lodge has the distinction of
being the westernmost fishing lodge
in North America. Ugludax
(pronounced oo-g-loo-tha-x) is an
Aleut term for "ancient village". If
you are seeking an Alaskan Adventure
that is beyond the
commonplace, Ugludax Lodge can
fulfill your dreams.
Location:
Nikolski is located on Umnak Island
which is part of the Aleutian
Islands which stretch westward from
Alaska. Umnak Island, which is 70
miles long by 20 miles wide, is
truly a pristine Alaskan
environment, yet it's been inhabited
by native Alaskans who have
subsisted off the natural resources
for over 10,000 years. Nikolski is
the oldest active town site in North
America. And yet many of the lakes
and streams on Umnak Island have
never been fished by sportsmen. In
fact, most of the lakes and streams
on the Island are still unnamed.
The Lodge is located on a bluff
overlooking a series of freshwater
lakes and the Bering Sea just
outside the Alaska native village of
Nikolski. From this vantage point,
the lodge offers great views of
western Umnak Island, including
7,000 foot Mt. Vsevidof, and the
Bering Sea.
Fishing:
Escape the crowds and fish
the richest waters in the world where the Pacific Ocean meets the Bering Sea.
This area of the Aleutians is where the world's largest Halibut are caught. The
current IGFA world record halibut (459 lbs.) was caught in this region. There is
also excellent light tackle fresh and saltwater fishing for Dolly Varden,
Sockeye, Pink, Chum and Silver salmon. You may want to give fly fishing
for halibut a try while you are there. The lodge supplies all fishing tackle,
but you are welcome to bring your own fly rods. Besides the fishing on
Umnak Island, the adventure touring and wildlife viewing are considered
world-class.
Accommodations & Dining:
Nikolski Adventures, which operates Ugludax
Lodge, offers terrific guides and comfortable accommodations for 8 guests.
The lodge has a formal dining room, commercial
kitchen, wet bar, library, card tables, fly tying areas, and large viewing
decks. The three daily meals provided are home cooked and served family
style. Breads and cookies are baked fresh daily. Local Alaska seafood is our
specialty.
