Species / Runs

The island hosts four of the five salmon species. Fishing will be primarily for Coho Salmon (silvers), Sockeye salmon (reds), Pink salmon (humpies), or Chum salmon (dogs). June & July produce mainly silvers and reds. The humpies & dogs (pinks) start showing up in late July and August. We do not provide guide services, but finding the fish is not a problem.  Your ability to cast far and accurately will determine how fast you catch fish.  The prime fishing area is about 100 yards from camp (from the bank or small boat).

Alaska Fishing Regulations allow 6 of each salmon species per day per person. Daily limits in 2 different species are possible in the last two weeks, with an occasional third specie.  Check the latest regulations for specific information.

Our Halibut boat has rounded out the Alaska fishing experience.  It is roomy, provides protection from the weather and a measure of safety in the channel water.  Most of our halibut range in size from 20 to 60lbs.

The additional cost to cover fuel expenses for the Halibut trips will be $80 per trip/person, depending on number of fishermen & duration..

Time will be made for those who wish to charter a local boat to go Halibut fishing.  The charter cost is approximately $250.00 per person/trip.

You can also go crabbing for Dungeness Crab in the bay right near camp.

Dolley Varden, Cutthroat, & Brook Trout are also available from nearby lakes and rivers.
