Sheep Creek Lodge is located in the heart of fishing country in the Matanuska Susitna Borough. Within a 15 square mile area of Sheep Creek Lodge, world-class fishing is available in scores of local rivers, streams, and lakes.  During the spring, summer and fall seasons, Sheep Creek itself boasts annual runs of 5 types of salmon, arctic grayling, plus dolly varden, and trophy size rainbow trout. 

For the vast majority of anglers content to fish local streams teeming with salmon and trout species, the king salmon run begins in mid to late May where 30 – 70 pounders are caught. In late June and early July this run is replaced largely by the more aggressive 10 – 25 pound silver, pink, red and chum salmon. Spring and fall are the best seasons for trout and grayling fishing when 20 – 30 inch rainbows are routinely caught.

For the more adventurous anglers, who choose to enroll and participate in our remote fishing tours as well as those anglers who enroll in one of our fly fishing seminars, the excitement level is constant.  Whatever option you choose, we assure you that your fishing experience will be one never to be forgotten. The above pictures are just a sample of the world-class king salmon catches made at Sheep Creek.

Sheep Creek Lodge is a proud sponsor, weigh station and ticket vendor for the 2010 Mat-Su Valley PSEA King Salmon Derby.
