South Passage Outfitters

Fishing

Great salmon fishing starts 20 feet from the dock and just gets better. We have local runs of King Salmon in May and June with summer runs hitting the coast right through September. Cohos, Sockeye, Chums, and Pinks pass through during the months from mid June to September and are fished in about 20 different locations. You will fish the local hot spots around Gull Cove and Cross Sound or you will skiff to Icy Point or Cape Cross on the outside coast. Troll most of the time but mooching salmon is often effective in this area because there are so many currents. Jig Halibut in shallower water from July on. Fish them where the bottom is sloped and rocky. Serious sport fishermen can always come up with a Halibut any time of the year. You can freeze your prime catch and pack it home in our fish boxes. We keep the smoker going while you fish.

Flyfishing

Flyfish for Pinks and Chums in the stream 1/4 of a mile from your cabin or skiff up to the Trail River for Coho. There are several other lakes and rivers around to fish Steelhead, Sockeye, and Coho. Saltwater flyfishing is as yet undeveloped in this area since so many fish are available through trolling. There is great potential with feed balls close to shore and serious fish gathering tide rips. We know the hot spots on the coast where King Salmon run "size extra large" and the water is clear.
