Visit the "Real Southeast Alaska"

In sportfishing location is half the battle! Situated between two world renowned saltwater destinations, Sitka and Langara Island, Craig is perched within striking distance of some of the richest waters in all of Southeast Alaska. Upwelling currents off the west side of Prince of Wales Island bring a constant stream of nutrients to the oceans surface, which in turn means a plentiful supply of baitfish that keeps salmon here in numbers throughout the summer months.

While the Haida Indians have known for centuries of the richness of these waters, saltwater angling enthusiasts are just now discovering the bounty that surrounds Craig. All 5 species of salmon make an appearance here throughout the summer, but the incredible numbers of king and silver salmon that feed in our waters from June thru the end of August is the real draw. Massive schools of king and silver salmon stay here thru the summer to gorge on baitfish in preparation for their journey home. Drift mooching over these schools of actively feeding fish is a thrill that you will never forget.

In addition to great numbers of salmon, our waters are also teaming with halibut. We typically target eating-size halibut from 15 to 60 pounds, but much bigger halibut are available should a guest decide to test their strength against a barn door.

What set's Craig apart from other sportfishing destinations in Southeast Alaska is that anglers have a choice between the wide open waters of the rugged North Pacific, or the calm, protected waters provided by a labyrinth of islands that separate Craig from the ocean.   Location is half the battle and Craig is about as good as it gets in Southeast Alaska.
