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. Due to this "rain-shadow effect," we enjoy maritime Alaska's fairest weather, with calm, clear and protected fishing waters. Please enjoy our interactive map below, provided by Google Maps.
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 area!
Killisnoo Island is a prime location to enjoy sportsfishing and eco-tourism!
- 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! This highly productive natural fishery is supplemented by the most successful salmon hatchery projects in Alaska:
- Wilderness - On our uncrowded fishing grounds, our boats are normally the only vessels seen. While adventuring on the surrounding wilderness lakes and streams, you will be the only anglers!
- Exceptional Wildlife Viewing - This region teems with food for fish and wildlife. Expect to see humpback whales, orcas, 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.
