GENERAL INFORMATION FOR SALTERY LODGE, KETCHIKAN ALASKA
Saltery Lodge is a small intimate Alaska fishing lodge that accommodates a maximum of 8 guests per week. The Lodge is draped in luxury and amenities that other lodges simply don't have. Exclusive bookings are available if you book six or more, making this one of the most affordable upscale buy-out lodges available in Alaska. Mixed bookings for Couples, Father and Son trips or smaller groups are available as well.
This is a very rare private property in southeast Alaska. On 62 acres, tucked into Naha Bay, Saltery Lodge is blessed with an amazing location. Most of the property in southeast Alaska is part of the Tongass National Forest, State of Alaska, or Indian corporation land. Finding large private parcels is very difficult... especially with 2000 feet of beach frontage... with salmon streams and bears... with southern exposure... and with the history of an old cannery. This is all yours to enjoy during your stay.
The property was once the site of a thriving Alaska cannery (1875-1930). Almost all the old buildings are gone, and all that is left are some houses adjacent to the property where some of the cannery workers used to live. There are still many remnants you will see while walking through the woods, such as trees growing up through old bed frames. There is also an old graveyard with headstones from 1895 located near the waterfall.
FISHING INFORMATION FOR SALTERY LODGE, KETCHIKAN ALASKA
Legendary Alaska fishing... there are not many feelings that beat that of a large fighting fish at the end of your rod. Here at Saltery Lodge in Ketchikan, Alaska you will experience that feeling over and over again! Aboard our world class charter vessels, Sarana and Linnaea, your seasoned professional Captain will make your southeast Alaska fishing experience memorable. We enjoy teaching you how to fish as well, making the experience much more rewarding for you.
For saltwater Alaska fishing, we fish for King Salmon, Silver Salmon, Pink Salmon, Halibut, and other bottom fish. Halibut fishing is good all summer in southeast Alaska. King Salmon run from late May through June. The Pink Salmon peak from July to mid September. The Silver Salmon start in July and actually peak in September in our area. We will also let you work crab and shrimp pots so you can enjoy them that evening on the dinner table!
If fresh water Alaska fishing is your game, we can arrange for guided or unguided fresh water trips. We operate under a US Forest Service Special Use Permit. If you choose to go unguided, the Naha River system is a world class southeast Alaska fishing stream containing salmon and trout and is only a short distance from the lodge.
Our lodge has two incredible boats that we fish from. Each has its own strengths and depending on the situation, we may take one or the other. Both boats feature complete walk-around decks which let you get to where the action is quickly and without windows or walls blocking your vision. They also have front viewing decks which will let you view the action from the front of the boat, where the wildlife viewing typically happens.
Both boats have a lot of horse power to push them through the water (1,000hp and 700hp!), and both feature advanced safety gear that goes well beyond typical charter boats including EPIRBs and life rafts. Twin engines on both boats adding a certain level of additional safety. State of the art electronics and fish finders let you see the fish that are beneath you!

Or choose to self explore the bay and river where you will see even more wildlife. Or choose to be guided on water or land by your hosts, who will tell you what you are looking at.
