What Makes It Unique
- We’re the only lodge in Alaska that owns two helicopters for our guest’s exclusive use. Located 80 miles west of Anchorage, surrounded by nothing but a valley of mountains, we fish streams rarely seen by other anglers.
- Whether you’re an avid fly fisherman looking to hook one of our famous Rainbow Trout, or a novice angler after an Alaskan King, Sockeye, or Silver salmon, see why Talaheim Fishing Lodge has been the anglers choice for over forty years.
- With only six to eight fishermen per week, our guests enjoy personal service from a staff of experts. From fishing guides, helicopters pilots, to chefs, we’ve been blessed that our staff continues to return, year after year, just like our salmon.
- Cozy and rustic in style, all of our guest cabins are equipped with electricity, refrigeration, indoor plumbing, wood stove or central heating, while meals feature gourmet cuisine including many Alaskan favorites.
- We’ve been a family run business for over forty years, and that family feeling extends to our guests. Over half of our clients return, many of which come several times across decades and bring with them a new generation of fishermen.
- With over forty years in business, Talaheim Lodge is known throughout the world as a premiere fly fishing destination, and lodge founder and owner, Mark Miller, an Alaskan pioneer, expert bush pilot, and teller of many incredible stories.

What's Included
Accommodations
Talaheim’s Alaskan luxury fishing lodge features four separate log cabins for our guests’ exclusive use. Cozy and rustic in style, each cabin was built using local logs and timbers that were then cut to lumber using our on-site sawmill. The family cabin is the biggest and can accommodate up to six adults, the other three cabins can sleep two to three adults.Each guest cabin is equipped with refrigeration stocked daily with great Alaskan beer, soda, juice and water.
Our cabins have wood or oil heaters, full bathrooms, and 24-hour electricity.Each cabin has its own unique view of the Beluga Mountains and after a day of fishing there’s nothing more relaxing than retreating to your personal cabin to curl up in front of the fire, or sit on the porch and enjoy a cool beverage.We occupy 10 acres of wilderness, which we’ve mostly tamed. Or in the least, put down boardwalks and gravel paths.
