Alaska Lodge Fishing

 Fireweed Lodge located in southeast Alaska is a premier Alaska Fishing Lodge.  The west coast of Prince of Wales Island offers excellent salt water fishing for all species of salmon and halibut throughout the summer season.  Deep Sea fishing for an abundance of rockfish and lingcod will keep the angler busy on the water.  Fireweed Lodge also offers Alaska Lodge fishing opportunities in freshwater for Salmon, trout and steelhead.

 Fully guided Alaska salt water fishing on your private boat includes daily fishing for Salmon and halibut.  Because we do not combine lodge fishing groups, with the help of your Captain, you can design your dream Alaskan Lodge based fishing vacation.

 Fireweed Lodges location in Southeast Alaska enables us to access continuous runs of Salmon that are migrating down the west coast of Prince of Wales Island.  There is no slow time; you just need to decide if you would rather fish for King Salmon or Silver salmon, deep sea or near shore fishing for Rockfish and Halibut all season long.  Fireweed Lodge offers an outstanding Alaska Fishing Lodge, exceptional service, warm hospitality and great food. We are fortunate to call our lodge clients friends, over 90% of our lodge guests return to our Alaska Fishing Lodge on a yearly basis.

 Alaska Lodge Fishing Seasons

 Our Southeast Alaska Fishing Lodge season’s start mid spring with guided and non guided fresh water fishing for steelhead.  In May, schools of King Salmon migrate from the Gulf waters into protected Islands off the west coast of Prince of Wales Island. King Salmon are plentiful, and multiple hookups are expected.  In this bait rich water, it is common to be fishing alongside Humpback whales, stellar sea lions and growing numbers of sea otters.  As June turns to July, schools of Coho salmon arrive.  Through the month of July it’s not uncommon to have a King Salmon a couple of Halibut and a Silver salmon on at the same time.  As July progresses, the runs of Coho increase and the schools of King salmon move down the coast toward their final destination.  August is great Silver Salmon fishing in Southeast Alaska; this is a wild time of the year with double and triple hookups on our Alaska Lodge fishing trips being common. Liberal limits assure you of fond Alaska Fishing Lodge memories and fine eating for the year to follow.

 Taking Care of your days catch

 Proper care of your catch is paramount at the Fireweed Lodge.  Upon landing your catch the captain will take first steps in caring for the fish. When returning to the fishing lodge dock, we will document (take pictures) of your day’s fishing bounty. The fish are cut to your specifications and vacuumed packed. Your day’s catch is then moved into our commercial grade blast freezers.  Your frozen fillets are placed into wet lock boxes that you will take home as checked baggage. Upon returning home, you will find you have many new friends, some at the Fireweed Lodge and some that just want your fish!

End of a Great Alaska Lodge Day

 True Alaska Lodge hearty Breakfasts and Alaska style dinners are served when you are ready.  Lodge dining tables look out over the Klawock estuary. Sightings of eagle’s deer and bear enhance the Alaska Lodge experience. Private lodge rooms with baths, telephone and television service round out the fishing lodge accommodations.  For the evening’s entertainment, we have a recreation room located upstairs with a wet bar, pool table, and card tables.  Outside the fishing lodge there is full-size basketball court, with horse-shoe pits on the side.

Bob & Valerie Anderson welcome you to Southeast Alaska at its finest, welcome to Fireweed Lodge.
