Painter Creek Lodge was founded in 1982 to provide exceptional angling possibilities in a truly remote setting. Located on the Alaskan Peninsula, which is the southern shore of Bristol Bay, Painter Creek lies 350 miles southwest of Anchorage and 100 miles south of King Salmon Alaska, where other people are rarely encountered. Painter Creek is the only lodge on a 50 mile Bristol Bay river system. This location is renowned for some of the largest salmon runs in the world, the Aleutian mountain range, with it's volcanoes and glaciers, and the wildlife that so identifies the Alaskan wilderness: Brown Bear, Moose, Caribou, and Wolves.

The Alaskan Peninsula is also the location of literally thousands of miles of untouched rivers and streams draining into both Bristol Bay and the North Pacific, all of which receive large runs of wild salmon and other game fish. Most of these rivers and streams have never been fished due to the remoteness and lack of access, even by plane. Painter Creek Lodge is situated right in the middle of all this wilderness where your hosts, Jon and Patty Kent, invite you to join them for a trip of a lifetime!
