Week 1
We are off to a great start to the 2026 season. Guests this week were blessed with a lot of white fish. We had stronger tides which meant for stronger currents in some areas but that did not deter the fishing. In fact, we are using better methods that require current to find the bigger fish.
Salmon was a little slower as guests were heavily focused on halibut, cod and rock fish. We had a nice King on Monday and a Silver. Salmon are jumping regularly which is a good sign of things to come. Guests were heavily
The summer weather pattern has started finally. Our spring was unseasonably cold. As we leave the lodge this morning, the sun is out, the mountains are crowned with snow, and the winds are fair. In a word, BEAUTIFUL.
We can hardly wait to see you. Come join us, the boats, rooms, and fish are waiting.

Preseason
Ready or not! Let the fishing begin! After a great preseason preparation, we are more than ready. Staff have done an excellent job getting equipment ready and the facility is shining.
We brought in some fishing experts this week to provide training to our staff. They have been on the water teaching different techniques and methods. Our staff are better prepared to help you be more successful. As part of their training, the staff have been catching plenty of halibut, cod, and rockfish.
We have seen salmon jumping. Reports indicate that we should be catching by the time our guests arrive in a few short days.
The newest additions to Doc’s fleet are also being readied. We expect them to be ready in a couple of weeks. Talk to Lynda if you have been on a waitlist for a cabin cruiser, she might surprise you.
We look forward to seeing you all “reel” soon. Let’s go FISHING!
