Fishing Alaska’s Inside Passage

Catch Pacific salmon
Walking along the banks of one of the many freshwater lakes and streams close to Alaska’s Boardwalk Lodge, you watch as a bald eagle floats almost effortlessly against a backdrop of deep blue sky. Our guide walks the other side of the stream and spots yet another great fishing hole. Out of the corner of your eye, you catch a glimpse of a fish breaking the surface to catch a midge, and suddenly, you get a sense that you are here not as an intruder but as an honored guest. For a moment you feel a little guilty thinking of those who would appreciate this experience, but only for a moment.

Southeast Alaska’s Prince of Wales Island offers access to prime deep water species

Guided halibut fishing off Prince of Wales Island, Alaska
Earl Pullum doesn’t tell fish tales. When asked why anglers should fish the saltwater off Prince of Wales Island rather than dozens of other popular Alaska destinations he pondered for a few minutes while removing the hook from a 15-pound yelloweye pulled from the Clarence Strait.

“Because of that,” said Pullum, pointing toward a 15-foot cloud of spray sprouting up from a whale 50 yards from the boat. Pullum is the lead guide at Boardwalk Lodge, located in Thorne Bay. “I’m not going to lie and tell you that we offer better fishing than other places in Alaska, because we don’t. You can catch fish anywhere in Alaska. I’d fish here for the experience.”

Fish Who’ve Never Seen a Fisherman

April 2004 – by Chris Shaffer

Kenji King couldn’t see the river, nor could he hear it when he pulled his mid-’90s model Suburban onto a small pullout on the narrow, unmaintained, pothole-clogged dirt road. King had traveled an hour in the 4-wheel-drive vehicle now painted with mud and scratched by overgrown trees. He hadn’t seen another car, bike or person, only bald eagles and deer.

King was on the clock. The fishing guide for Boardwalk Lodge (800-764-3918; www.Bordwalklodge.com) was out to find a steelhead that had never seen a human. It was his sixth day in a row to accomplish this feat. He felt no pressure.

Alaska’s Boardwalk Lodge – Steelheading in Comfort

By Alaska Boardwalk Lodge

Wednesday, November 15th, 2000

By Shel Benjamin

Ambivalent would be the best way to describe my relationship with steelhead fishing. I love catching these strong acrobatic fish, but I always wonder if the discomfort I have to put up with is worth standing in frigid water and making a thousand casts. So when the WFF offered a steelhead trip to Alaska and after talking to the lodge owner who assured me that it was not like that at this destination, I thought I’d give it a try.

Off the Boardwalk

Business Traveler

February 1998 – By Lori Lincoln

All addicts have their own code, so at first I was baffled listening to the anglers debate the merits of matching the hatch versus purple egg-sucking leeches and woolly buggers while we snacked on fresh oysters.

I’d only arrived at Boardwalk Lodge by float-plane a half an hour before, and already I was caught up in a heated debate about why steelhead bite or don’t. Over pre-dinner cocktails, I’d met a few frustrated fishermen who had logged hours on the local rivers and had nothing more to share than tales of nips on their flies.
