Sheep Creek Lodge is located in the heart of fishing country. Within a 15 square mile area of the 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 doly varden, and 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 commonly. 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 caught routinely. The pictures below are just a sample of the world-class king salmon catches made at Sheep Creek.

Located within a mixed deciduous/coniferous forest type, the 25 acre property is biologically diverse with many arctic and subarctic plant species, and is utilized extensively by a wide array of indigenous birds and mammals, including bald eagles, lynx, wolves, moose, grizzly bears, and black bears. All of these animals have been seen on the property.
