Tikchik Narrows Lodge

Tikchik Narrows Lodge was started in 1969 by Alaska sportfishing pioneers Bob and Gayle Curtis in the waters of Bristol Bay. At that time, the Curtis’s owned and operated Wood River Lodge and Bob used to fly up to the Tikchik Narrows to take his anglers fishing. Bob always considered the Tikchik Narrows of the Bristol Bay area to be the best fishing around. He would walk up on top of the rock knoll at the tip of the peninsula and dream of building a lodge there, which he did in 1969 when he sold Wood River and devoted his time, money and love to Tikchik Narrows Lodge. Bud Hodson purchased Tikchik in1986 and developed it into a world-class flyout sportfishing operation, accommodating over 20 guests. Tikchik has a fleet of three DeHavilland Beavers and one Cessna 206 on floats, which deliver anglers across a broad swath of southwest Alaska, including Togiak National Wildlife Refuge, Wood-Tikchik State Park, and the Nushagak River drainage. Andy Angstman purchased Tikchik Narrows Lodge in 2023 and is continuing the tradition of spectacular sportfishing and five-star hospitality.
