Bear Trail Lodge

Bear Trail roots run deep in Bristol Bay, from advocacy to ownership that honors and celebrates the very core of the region. We can give you an unforgettable experience with our family, through the land, fisheries, and wildlife we have worked so hard to protect. We are a family owned and operated business that began back in 1985 when Nanci packed up her belongings on a whim, to make Bristol Bay her home as a fishing guide. Being an advocate for the wild and voiceless eco systems in southwest Alaska is something that comes natural for Nanci. She became involved in the Board of Fish process and volunteered to work on the Southwest Alaska Rainbow Trout Management plan with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, from there she has volunteered hundreds of hours to the region, sitting on statewide and area wide boards for multiple administrations as well as participating in meetings and conferences to protect fisheries throughout Bristol Bay and Alaska. She continues this work even today and is currently the Chair of the Bristol Bay Regional Advisory Council for the Federal Subsistence Board.
