FloatplaneBoat
Waterfall Resort sits on 52 waterfront acres on the west side of Prince of Wales Island in the Tongass National Forest. It is a short floatplane flight from Ketchikan, and the lodge says guests can fly in during the morning and be fishing by afternoon. The property is a restored cannery village with a saloon and a dining program built around hearty meals.
The official booking page lists what the packages include: round-trip floatplane from Ketchikan, lodging, all meals, and full-service guided sport fishing aboard heated 26-foot cabin cruisers. Use of all fishing equipment, professional fish processing, Wi-Fi and daily housekeeping are also included. Target species are king and silver salmon, halibut, lingcod and rockfish.
The season runs from early June to late August. King salmon peak in June, and halibut fishing and family trips run all season.
