The Lodge will provide guided salmon and halibut charters in salt water for an additional charge. Details for guided halibut charters can be obtained at the lodge or through the office.

Our halibut fishing lodges have a charter boat available for salmon and halibut fishing trips, general sightseeing, whale watching and trips to LeConte or to Thomas Bay to view the icebergs and the glacier. Fly in charters to several lakes offer fantastic rainbow trout fishing in pristine mountain lakes as well as general sightseeing. Helicopter charters can land you atop one of our many glaciers.

Our personnel will guide you to some of the rivers which are active with salmon and trout. The halibut fishing hours are unlimited, not like those of guided camps where halibut fishing times are scheduled! Trolling for some salmon species is done directly in front of the lodge. This allows the fisherman an opportunity to fish from dawn (3 or 6 am) until breakfast, which are sometimes the most productive hours for fishing. Within five to forty five minutes from the lodge there are several rivers offering the spinner, caster and fly fisherman the opportunity to catch one or more of several species of salmon and trout.

Halibut Fishing Charters: Halibut are available all year, although best from June 1st through mid September. They are so Plentiful that we often get them while trolling in 30 feet of water for kings. The Sitkalidak area has some of Alaska's best halibut fishing charters with all sizes available in shallow (30' to 140') waters with very light currents. No deep-water fishing in heavy currents, with pounds of weight to get to the bottom.

We troll for 30 to 90-pound king salmon with down riggers and light tackle. The peak trophy King Season runs from May 1st thorough July 15th, but they're here all year long- Our 2002 anglers landed kings weighing 82, 80, 75, 74, 71 and 70, with over thirty other kings over 60 pounds. In 2003 the largest kings were 77, 75 and 73 pounds. Ten to 22 pound Silvers arrive in early July and are fished in much the same way we fish for kings.
