Fishing gear at Cozihaus on Blodgett Lake

Who this suits

Guests who bring rods, or who want to fish casually without organizing a whole fishing trip around it.

A plan that works

  1. Start by checking current Alaska Department of Fish and Game regulations and emergency orders for the specific water you plan to fish. This is the first step, not the last.
  2. Get your Alaska fishing license before you plan to fish.
  3. Use the lake as the relaxed base it is — the dock, the rowboat, and quiet water time.
  4. If you want to go further, look at nearby Mat-Su lakes and streams based on season, access, and regulations for your dates.
  5. Stop at a local supply store for current conditions, flies, and licence questions. Local staff know more than any page can.
  6. If fishing is the main point of the trip, a guided Mat-Su trip is a better use of a day than driving to the Kenai.

Drive and timing, honestly

  • Fishing from the dock takes no drive at all.
  • Mat-Su options vary widely by season, regulations, water level, stocking, salmon movement, and public access. Water that looks close on a map may not be the right fit for your dates or gear.
  • We would keep you local rather than sending you to the Kenai or Russian River unless a major fishing day is the specific goal.

What we won’t promise

  • We cannot promise fish. Not on the lake, not anywhere nearby.
  • We cannot promise salmon runs, trout success, or timing — runs move year to year.
  • We cannot promise that a particular stream or lake is currently open, legal to fish, or publicly accessible.
  • Blodgett Lake is a peaceful lake with casual fishing potential. It is not a guaranteed fly-fishing destination, and we will not describe it as one.
  • Always verify current ADF&G regulations, emergency orders, licences, and access before you fish.

Practical notes

  • The property has a private dock, 2 kayaks, 1 rowboat, 2 pedal boats, and 1 canoe.
  • There is fishing gear at the house, but bring your own rod if you care about what you fish with.
  • Regulations differ by water and can change mid-season through emergency orders. A rule you read last year may not apply.

Current fishing intelligence

  • Coho salmon retention — Susitna & Little Susitna River drainages

    ADF&G has prohibited retaining coho salmon 16 inches or larger in the Susitna and Little Susitna River drainages, effective August 19 through December 31, 2026 — the Little Susitna coho count is running well below the escapement goal. Bait remains prohibited in these waters; artificial lures only. If a Mat-Su coho day on these specific rivers is the plan, it's catch-and-release only right now — check the current order before you go, since ADF&G can adjust it again mid-season.
