We recommend bringing lightweight base layers, a warm mid-layer, and a weatherproof outer layer.  We also recommend: sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, fishing hat, beanie, fishing gloves (not necessary but helpful).

Fish are filleted, packaged, and frozen at our fish house on property.  Upon your departure we will pack your fish into 50 pound boxes which will then go on the airplane and be counted as a piece of your luggage.  If you have an overnight stay in Juneau, we recommend staying at Travelodge (9200 Glacier Hwy) as they have large freezers to store your fish in during your stay with them.  

You will have the opportunity to catch all five species of Pacific salmon: king, silver, chum, sockeye and pink. Halibut fishing out of Gustavus is exceptional.  Other fish you could potentially catch could consist of: lingcod, rock fish, and yellow eye.

Upon arrival in Gustavus, a member of our team will greet you at the airport and transport you to Eagle’s Nest Lodge—just five minutes away. On your departure day, we’ll return you to the airport with your boxes of freshly packed fish, ready for your journey home.

Customary tipping in the sport-fishing industry is 10% of the cost of your fishing package (with 5% going directly to your fishing captain and 5% going directly to the lodge staff).
