Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Your tour begins as you board your motorcoach for a short drive to Chilkoot Lake, one of the most picturesque locations in southeast Alaska.

You set off on your fishing expedition aboard a comfortable, 28-foot pontoon boat. There are no hatchery fish on the lake, only "wild stock." Depending on the season, several varieties of wild salmon and Dolly Varden are the likely catches as well as cutthroat and steelhead trout.

Every fisherman is in control of his or her own spin-cast rod and reel. Your guide assists with everything from basic instruction and new fishing methods to untangling your lines while you relax and absorb the grandeur of the surrounding waterfallls, forest and snow-clad mountains.

The tour operator is the only charter fishing company on the lake, assuring a relaxing experience without crowds. Fishing is conducted on a catch-and-release basis. Be sure to bring your camera - eagles, bears, wildlife and breathtaking scenery make for a myriad of photo opportunities.

Special Notes:

Minimum age is 6. Rubber-soled shoes and warm clothing are recommended. Boats will carry a maximum of 6 guests. Fishing is conducted on a catch-and-release basis. Please remember you are purchasing the opportunity to catch fish, not a guarantee of doing so.

A fishing license is required and can be purchased onboard your boat for $25 per person. Children under 16 are not required to purchase a license.

Each guest will be in charge of their own pole, and will be holding and casting it throughout the trip. Guides will re-bait and change tackle when needed. The casting is done from the deck of the boat, usually toward the pools along the shoreline. Bait fishing is done by letting the bait drop to the bottom of the lake.

Lunch: Sandwich, chips, smoked salmon, granola bar/cookie, bottled water

Liability waiver is required to be signed in the presence of the tour operator.

Unaccompanied Minor Policy: Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
