We never target salmon this far away from the ocean, as this is their spawning territory. It has always been our belief that if they made it this far, let them spawn so we can enjoy their offspring later in the life cycle - again in the tidewater. - [The Katmai Lodge Experience](https://katmai.com/experience/): We want to make your visit to Katmai Lodge Alaska more than just another fishing trip.
