Salmon River Fishing Klawock, Alaska: What You Need To Know

Fishing

Salmon fishing is a popular pastime in Alaska, and there are plenty of great spots to try your luck near Klawock. Here’s what you need to know before you go:

The Log Cabin RV Resort

The Log Cabin RV Resort is located just outside of Klawock, and offers easy access to some of the best salmon fishing opportunities in Alaska. The resort is also close to other great attractions, including the Klawock State Forest and the Alaskan Botanical Gardens.

The Log Cabin RV Resort offers a wide range of camping and lodging options, including full hookups with sewer and 50 amp service. All guests have access to free showers during their stay at the resort.

The resort office provides regular updates about fishing conditions to ensure you always stay safe and have a good time. Guests can also use their own boats to access nearby fishing holes.

The Log Cabin RV Resort is located near Klawock and offers easy access to some of the best salmon fishing opportunities in Alaska. To get to the resort, take Highway 10 east out of Klawock. The resort is located on the left side of the road, just past Milepost 5.

Salmon Species

You’ll have a chance to catch king, sockeye, silver, pink and coho salmon in these waters. The best time of year to fish for salmon near Klawock is between June and September. Check with the resort office for up-to-date information on fishing conditions.

Gear and Tackle

You’ll need a valid Alaska fishing license, as well as a rod, reel, tackle, bait and lures.

When fishing for salmon near Klawock, it’s best to use artificial lures like spoons, spinners and plugs. You can also use bait like salmon eggs, herring or garlic shrimp.

Bring a good rod and reel with about 15 pound test line. A spinning reel works best because it spools out more line faster which allows you to make longer casts when necessary, without having to stop every few minutes to let the line come in from off the water’s surface.

If you’re fishing from a boat, it’s a good idea to have a depth finder to help you find the best spots.

You can purchase a fishing license online or at most sporting goods stores in the state. A valid Alaska fishing license is required for all anglers 16 years of age and older.

What To Bring

Anglers are encouraged to bring all of their own equipment, however tackle is available for rental at the resort office. Certain areas outside of the resort are open to catch-and-release fishing only, so make sure you have a valid Alaska fishing license before you go.

Charters

Hotel

Guided Saltwater Charters

Guided Saltwater Charters are aboard the Island Skipper, a 34′ lobster-style boat, with an Alaskan Sports Fishing Deck. We feature a walk-around cabin so fisher-people can spread out and there is not a cluster on the aft deck. We have fewer lines crossing each other than most boats, thus more fishing time. The boat is inspected by the Coast Guard on a very regular basis. She is up to snuff! Our packages are 3 days and 4 nights, but additional days can be had on request.

Your guide, Skip Fabry, has been fishing these waters since 1970. He’s an old bugger but still gets around. Skip is experienced in boating and fishing and holds a U.S. Coast Guard license.

Your skipper is the longest established guide on the Prince of Wales and will make your wilderness adventure successful and memorable.

The Guided Fishing Package includes, but is not limited to:

  • A Sea Side Suite or Lodge Home
  • Continental breakfast & a sack lunch
  • Transportation to a restaurant for dinner, if desired
  • Up to 11 hrs of fishing and boat ride
  • Set and pull Shrimp and Crab Pots
  • Rods, Reels and Bait, plus we clean, cut, vacuum pack, box and freeze your catch
  • NOT INCLUDED: Fishing License and your evening meals
  • CALL FOR PRICES

Since this is YOUR VACATION, you may mix adventure activities with fishing if desired.

Our guests fish for rod busting King Salmon, reel screaming Coho Salmon, barn door Alaskan Halibut. Tenacious ling cod are often brought to the surface with a fish superior in size, in their mouth. This is called a bottom fish bonus. Catch all of these along with delicious rock fish, from the deck of our stable diesel powered 34′ f/v ISLAND SKIPPER.

Southeast Alaska’s waters offer all five species of salmon. This terrific saltwater fishery is within a 90 min. run from our dock, with the Spanish named islands offering a backdrop to the chrome bright lunkers you will be pulling aboard. Looking eastward, you will see the snow capped peaks just behind the resort on the Prince of Wales Island. They jet right up from the sea and are as spectacular as the fishing! We fish light to medium St Croix Rods fitted with Penn Reels and yards of line for those big bad boys and gals who like to run. This adds to the thrill and excitement and offers our guests heart pounding fun. If you have a favorite rod and reel, bring it. On your request, we will set and pull shrimp and crab pots. These shellfish can be packed with your finfish catch.

Join us this summer and give your group the opportunity to set some new lodge records, maybe even a state record. Many days successful fishing trips are not measured in the number of fish, but the hundreds of pounds of fish brought back to the dock or released.…
