| Our
lodge is located
on the water’s edge just two miles from the community
of Craig, Alaska—on Prince Of Wales Island,
which is west of Ketchikan, Alaska. We have four
fully contained apartment
suites for your
total
privacy.
Two
of the
units can sleep up to six and two units can sleep up
to four. The lodge is well staffed and we keep the operation
small
to give our guests more individual attention. We
make sure
all of your needs are taken care of at the lodge. The
boats are docked just steps from your door.
Craig is a short 40-minute flight,
or a leisurely 3-hour scenic ferry cruise from Ketchikan.
All five species of salmon are found in the waters
surrounding Prince of Wales Island.

to fulfill your dream of catching Alaskan Salmon
and Halibut. |
Boats
And Captains
Our  boats are equipped with state of the art electronics
for navigation, communication and fish location via GPS
chart and plotters, VHF radios and fish finders. These
enclosed, 26 ft long boats, put you at the best fishing
grounds in Alaska — all within an hour of the lodge.
Our
Coast Guard licensed captains have years of experience
and thorough knowledge of the local waters and local
fish movements. Our skippers know how to put you on
the fish and make sure your fishing experience is a
memorable one. We limit our boats to four fishermen,
this allows our guests

receive
more
individual
attention.
If
your group requests it, we can accommodate up to 6.
Our
close proximity to the open ocean provides a steady
abundance of fish. Our captains and guides enjoy catching
fish and are often found fishing on their days off!

We
offer the angler the opportunity to fish for Salmon,
Halibut, Lingcod, Red Snapper and other rockfish, all
on the same trip
each day.

seals, whales and other wildlife right from the lodge. Photo
