Fresh
Water Remote Rivers of Wild Salmon and Trout. |
| Freshwater fishing opportunities abound in the Whalers' Cove area. There are many secluded streams inside the bays of Admiralty, Baranof, and Chichigof islands. These clear waters are home to four species of salmon, plus rainbow trout, steelhead, cutthroat, and Dolly Varden. The productivity of these streams is one of the many reasons for the awesome natural abundance of this region. | |

Salmon are the main link in the food chain. They are essential to all life in Alaska. It is the salmon that connect the land and the sea. Returning to the waters of their origin, the salmon emerge from the sea in huge waves with each high tide. Whalers' Cove guides anchor our 19' to 21' Bayrunner or Bolton boats at the mouth of these secluded streams. We walk the riverbanks to pools of salmon stacked up on their upstream migration. We rarely see other anglers, but we frequently see brown bears feeding on salmon. |

Spin and fly casting are equally successful.
Experienced and novice anglers can enjoy fast action fishing in these fish-packed
waters. The fish do most of the work. Fishing the lower parts of these rivers,
we hook bright wild salmon that offer aggressive action. Hard fighting,
these fish are on a mission to their spawning ground. Since we are fishing on the home waters of the salmon, please note that the limits on keeping salmon are less than in saltwater. The amazing sight of the spawning streams, plus fast fishing action, is what fishing dreams are made of. |
