Anyone who's fished Southeast Alaska knows that the number of fish caught sometimes feels almost unfair. Southeast Alaska's waters are some of the most productive on Earth because of a rare convergence of geology, forest ecology, and ocean physics, all working together to build a food web from the bottom up.

At Sportsman's Cove Lodge, we love introducing guests to the variety of fish that call these waters home. Each species has its own personality, its own challenge, and its own reward. Let's take a closer look at what you might catch and what makes each one so memorable.
