Guest-only access for guests staying at Cozihaus on Blodgett Lake

Fishing at Blodgett Lake

Fishing at Blodgett Lake is a private, guest-only amenity for anyone staying at Cozihaus on Blodgett Lake — the dock, a rowboat, and fishing gear are all part of the property, available to use, not something you need to bring or arrange. It's a good place to fish without it being the reason for your trip. Anything beyond the property itself starts with current public-water regulations.

Fishing gear at Cozihaus on Blodgett Lake

Who this suits

Guests staying at Cozihaus on Blodgett Lake who want to fish casually without organizing a whole trip around it — gear is provided, so this works whether or not you brought your own rod.

A plan that works

  1. This is a guest-only property amenity — the dock, rowboat, and fishing gear are all part of your stay at Cozihaus on Blodgett Lake, ready to use.
  2. Rods and basic gear are provided at the house — bring your own only if you have a specific rod or setup you prefer.
  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 than the property itself, check current Alaska Department of Fish and Game regulations and emergency orders first — that's the first step for any public Mat-Su water, not the last.
  5. Get your Alaska fishing license before you fish anywhere beyond the property, per state law.
  6. If you want to go further, the Little Susitna is a real regional river system — see that guide for bank and boat access — or look at other nearby Mat-Su lakes and streams based on season, access, and regulations for your dates.
  7. Stop at a local supply store for current conditions, flies, and licence questions. Local staff know more than any page can.
  8. 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 — it's part of the property.
  • Mat-Su options beyond the property 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 beyond the property 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 fishing anywhere beyond the property.

Practical notes

  • The property has a private dock, 2 kayaks, 1 rowboat, 2 pedal boats, and 1 canoe — all available to guests staying at Cozihaus on Blodgett Lake.
  • Fishing rods and basic gear are provided at the house — bring your own only if you prefer a specific setup, not because gear isn't otherwise available.
  • This is a guest-only amenity of the stay, not a public-access fishery — the dock and boats belong to the property.
  • Regulations differ by water and can change mid-season through emergency orders. A rule you read last year may not apply beyond the property.

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.

    Alaska Department of Fish and Game — Emergency Order 2-SS-2-47-26 · verified 2026-08-21

Always confirm current regulations directly with ADF&G before you fish — emergency orders can change on short notice.
