Prince of Wales Island is a famous hotbed for salmon and halibut. In Southeast Alaska, more fish are caught per license than anywhere else and the catch limits are generous.

Primary targets are King Salmon (Chinook), Coho (Silver Salmon), and Halibut. You also may hook Chum (Dog Salmon), Pink “Humpy” Salmon,  Ling Cod, Red Snapper, and over 15 species of tasty Bottom fish. Kings sometimes go over 60 pounds, Silvers over 20 pounds, and Halibut over 250 pounds. When you make your reservation, you are automatically entered into our Big ‘Butt Derby, Calm Water Derby, or Wild Coho Derby, whichever is going on during your stay.

Your deckhand will fillet your catch, and it will be vacuum-packed and flash-frozen for extra freshness. Your fish is then placed in heavy-duty wax-coated boxes so you can check it as baggage. You will also have the luxury of choosing to have some of your fish smoked with our superb recipes.
