The chars are common to arctic and sub-arctic waters, and thrive in the Bristol Bay region. They are aggressive, strong and beautiful fish that populate streams in prolific numbers. It is common for anglers to catch dozens of char in the 18-28 inch range during a day of fishing.
Dry fly fishing for Dolly Varden char is excellent during the first half of the season and they can be caught alongside some large grayling (up to 20 inches) in several streams near the lodge.
The Arctic Char is the larger of the two char species and colorful specimens over 30 inches can be caught by sight fishing in the latter half of the season.
