In July 2021, ATA Lodge had the honor of hosting the film crew of Our Planet II for two weeks, providing access, lodging, meals, and professional services to the crew. Our Planet II is a new 4-part Netflix series from Silverback Films (released 14 June 2023) narrated by Sir David Attenborough. The series will unravel the mystery of how and why animals migrate.
The episode focusing on the journey of the Sockeye Salmon was filmed in part on the Alagnak Wild River at ATA Lodge! Although ATA Lodge does not feature in the episode, it is an honor to have been selected by the Our Planet team to be a part of producing the incredible imagery that showcases the spectacle of nature that is the annual Sockeye Salmon annual migration from the sea back to the waters of the Alagnak Wild River to spawn and reproduce.
At any given moment on planet Earth, billions of animals are on the move. Our Planet II will reveal some of the natural world's most dramatic and compelling stories through spectacular and innovative cinematography.In fact, in 2021, the watersheds of Bristol Bay, in Southwest Alaska, experienced what was, at that time, a record-breaking run of Sockeye Salmon, shattering the number of Sockeye returning to spawn since records have been kept! The numbers are staggering. Bristol Bay's sockeye salmon run that year totaled66.1 million fish,and at that time, was the largest total run on record and was 60% above the 41.3 million average run for the latest 20-year period (2001 2020).Animal migrations are vital survival strategies to feed, reproduce and find shelter, and their ability to do so is integral to the health of the planet at large. Unfortunately, with the looming dangers of climate change, their journeys are riskier than ever before. This challenge to the thousands-year-old legacy of transit is explored inOur Planet II.

ATA Lodge - A Premier Alaskan Fishing Destination
Boasting a world-famous run of all five species of Pacific Salmon, the Alagnak is also home to a host of resident fish, such as leopard rainbow trout, arctic char, and grayling. This exclusive and prestigious section of the river is located within the Katmai National Park and Preserve, with its headwaters in the surrounding mountains and drains into Bristol Bay Alaska. It is also famously known for its seemingly endless braids, where 10 miles of river can easily contain 30 miles of fishable waters. With such exclusive river access, you are not competing with any crowds.
The Lodge itself is on 160 acres of prime river frontage in an iconic section of the Alagnak River known as the upper braids. The only access to the Lodge is via bush plane, landing on a private airstrip located on the property. Welcoming wooden cabins are equipped with running water, heating, and power that will guarantee you a comfortable stay. With an abundance of wildlife and stunning scenery, its the image of Alaska that you have imagined.
