The lodge is situated on the banks of the Kulik – handsdown one of the top trout rivers in the world. It is the only operation located on this famous river, which means that the “home waters” for the lodge are the same waters that many of the area’s other high-end lodges fly in and out of each day! With every Kulik package, can choose a daily fly-out to one of the area’s numerous rivers, fish a long day via jet boat on the lodge’s home water, or create a combination of the two for your own custom itinerary. With numerous aircraft, experienced pilots, and a seasoned team of professional guides, Kulik offers guests access to fishing that is out of this world. Kulik is a part of the original “Angler’s Paradise” collection of lodges – the first fly-out sportfishing lodges in all of Alaska. The historical main lodge at Kulik, originally built in the late 1950’s, boasts a large common room with a stone fireplace, couches for lounging and relaxing, a main dining area, and a full complimentary bar stocked with cocktails, wine and beer. Individual and free-standing guest cabins all face Nonvianuk Lake and are equipped with space heaters, showers and private bathrooms. There are both two and four-person cabins available. Their prime location as the only lodge on the Kulik River means that there is also evening fishing available after dinner for additional hours on the water. We promise you that you will not find another lodge anywhere in Alaska that allows you to fish as long and hard as you want in the “Land of the Midnight Sun.” 7 night / 7 day packages (double occupancy) begin at $5,325.00 per person. alaska signed the official declaration making Alaska the 49th state.
