Alaska Halibut fishing charter
The weather is heating up here in Southeast Alaska, and so is the Halibut fishing. Some of the favorite adventure opportunities here at Alaska’s Boardwalk Lodge are our saltwater fishing trips. Although freshwater adventures remain a favorite of many outdoorsman here, Alaska Halibut fishing shouldn’t be missed. Recent changes in regulation mean that not all fishing lodges and charter boats in Southeast Alaska are permitted to offer guided Halibut fishing. Boardwalk Lodge is one of the few sport lodges where you can enjoy the chance to catch one of these monsters.

Travel Muse

January 2008 – by Deb Vanasse

Recommended full-service lodges [An excerpt from the full article]

Though many guests come for the world-class salt-water and freshwater fishing, Alaska’s Boardwalk offers a whole slew of activities in the lush rainforest of Prince of Wales Island and its surrounding waters. Explore historic totems nestled among stately cedar and hemlock trees, wind your way through one of the largest caves in North America, visit sea lions sunning themselves on the rocks, or hike along a network of old logging roads. You’ll return happily exhausted each evening to enjoy a five-course meal and swap stories in the hand-hewn log dining room. The staff-to-guest ratio is nearly one-to-one, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a friendlier group of folks. A minimum age of 10 is recommended. When I was there, three generations of the Smith family from Kansas, including two 10-year-old cousins, were having the time of their lives, staging fishing derbies and reeling in lunkers.

Virginia Sportsman Magazine

March 2006 – By King Montgomery

Freshwater fishing at Boardwalk Lodge includes 23 lakes, rivers and streams
That first evening in Alaska after a long day in airplanes, my wife and I took our places at the comfortable dinner table, and gazed down at a handwritten menu from Chef Bryan Vietmeyer and his amiable kitchen crew. Below the “Welcome King & Elizabeth” note, this simple document gave us an indication of what the week ahead would bring. It read:

  • Butternut Squash Bisque with Crab
  • Wilted Leaf Lettuce Salad w/ Honey-Mustard Bacon Vinaigrette
  • Pepper Seared New York Steak w/Bourbon-Molasses Jus
  • Herb Roasted Potatoes and/or Parmesan

Lodge Acclaim. The lodge receives praise from clients and media alike each year. Our exceptional staff and facilities have been recognized with three "Lodge of the Year" awards — recently including the Sporting Classics 2010 Lodge of the Year honor for worldwide fishing destinations.
Nearby Waterways. Lodge guides have easy access to some of the hottest fishing holes in Southeast Alaska.

Guided activities include whale watching, kayaking, spelunking, biking and hiking to name a few. You can also visit the bear observatory or tour Kassan totem Indian village.
