Alaska Best Fishing - call: 888-826-8500 for reservations

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.

Boats And Captains

OurAlaska Best Fishing boat 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 to 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!

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

Watch the eagles, seals, whales and other wildlife right from the lodge. Photo opportunities are an everyday occurrence.
