Whalers' Cove Lodge is located in the heart of Alaska's most beautiful, historically intriguing and environmentally thriving wilderness area. Our fishing areas are protected by the geographic fortress of the ABC Islands (Admiralty, Baranof and Chichagof) from inclement regional weather patterns as well as global climatic and ocean current influences. Due to this "rain-shadow effect," we enjoy maritime Alaska's fairest weather, with calm, clear and protected fishing waters.  See Map.

  Furthermore, Whalers' Cove Lodge is the only full-service sportfishing resort in this region. We are over 100 water miles from Juneau, Glacier Bay, Sitka and St. Petersburg.  This means we are virtually all by ourselves in a tremendous wilderness region.

Other qualities that make ours a prime location for a sportsfishing lodge:

  Abundant Fish - We have the largest population of sport fish in the area, with all five species of Pacific salmon, giant halibut, trout, char, rockfish, cod, shark, shellfish and more!  Furthermore, this highly productive natural fishery is supplemented by the most successful salmon hatchery projects in Alaska (Hidden Falls and Mist Cove).

  Wilderness - On our uncrowded fishing grounds, our boats are normally the only vessels seen. You will be the only anglesrs on our wilderness lakes and streams in this region.

  Exceptional Wildlife Viewing - This region teems with food for fish and wildlife. Expect to see lots of whalers, porpoise, seals, sea lions, sea birds, and other marine life, as well as the world's largest population of bald eagles, Alaskan brown bears and Sitka blacktail deer.

  Superb Fishing Water - Our streams, lakes and saltwater fisheries are sparkling clear, pure and free of the glacial silt prevalent in much of Alaska and B.C.

  Alaska's Finest Wilderness - Our playground to the east is the Kootsnoowoo Wilderness on Admiralty Island. It is considered the most beautiful and productive remaining mountainous rainforest in wilderness status.
