Shelter Cove Lodge

Try 10 hour fishing days. That is what you get here at Shelter Cove Lodge. This is a saltwater fishing lodge, though guests have the options of arranging a freshwater fishing adventure that is guided or unguided. The primary fishing is Salmon and halibut focused. The waters around Shelter Cove offer a diversity of fish. The waters here are so thick with fish that guests limit out every day. With ten hours of fishing per day, you can easily limit out on other species of fish too.

Because the waters here are so fish-rich that you will likely limit out early, think about what other species for which you might like to fish. Keep that in mind because there are plenty of specialized species that you will have time to learn how to catch. The predatory Lingcod is one such target. In the Southeast of Alaska you might also gear up for a Salmon Shark. Salmon Shark range from 4-8 feet on average and the 10 footers can reach over 700 pounds. This is a top predator so only fish for them if you are willing to eat it. They provide an amazing service to the halibut and salmon fisheries. There are plenty of bottom fish and rock fish along the Southeastern shore. The narrow strip of continental shelf provides both excellent shallow saltwater fishing and deep see fishing too.

There is plenty of value to be found at Shelter Cover Lodge. If you are into fly fishing you will have to bring your own gear. The lodge provides everything else you need except your fishing license. It is pretty amazing to salmon fish with a fly rod.
