The Best Alaska Sport Fishing for Halibut, Salmon, Ling-Cod and Yellow-eye is right outside the Lodge Front Door
Directly in front of Kodiak Legends Lodge lies Uyak Bay, a large fjord that almost bisects Kodiak Island. Uyak Bay is known for its abundant marine life including whales, seals, otters, waterfowl, and most importantly, BIG fish. Depending upon the time of year, you can catch all five species of salmon, halibut, ling-cod, yellow-eye, and even salmon sharks. It is not uncommon to catch more than five different species of game fish in a day!
Halibut fishing is turning into one of Alaska’s most sought-after sport fish. Many anglers travel from afar for the chance of hooking into a 300-plus pound, “barn-door” halibut. It’s not uncommon for our clients to catch more than 20 halibut apiece, and 100-200-pound fish not are uncommon. We also have excellent saltwater fishing for several species of salmon including chinook (king) and coho (silver) salmon – these fish are extremely aggressive and fun to fight. The silver run is one of the best in Alaska, and these chromers are known for their acrobatic jumps and long glamorous runs.
Other common species in Uyak Bay include Lingcod, Yellow-eye, Black Bass and other types of rockfish. Dolly Varden are particularly abundant and can be caught from the beach in front of the lodge.

“Every meal was worth its weight in gold. Our captain was my hero! I finally caught my barn door after many years of trying. Will come back as often as we can. Super place!”
