Island Point Lodge is located outside of Petersburg, Alaska in Wrangell Narrows on the island of Kupreanof, opposite Mitkof Island, approximately 14 miles from the town of Petersburg, AK. They offer a fantastic week of salmon and halibut fishing at an affordable price.
You will be fishing the beautiful waters of the Alaskan Inland Seaway, which include Ducan Canal, Frederick Sound, Wrangell Narrows and Sumner Straights. The trip will provide you with the opportunity to catch the fish of your dreams. Island Point is what some may call a "Semi-Self Service Lodge" which allows you the ability to operate the water vessels, explore and fish the entire immediate region unrestricted (though professional and experienced fishng guides are available for hire).

The length of the trip is approximately 9 days, portal to portal. The trip includes 7 days and 6 nights at Island Point Lodge, and one day each way for air travel. Arrival day is Saturday and departure day is the following Friday

Island Point Lodge can offer you a complete Salmon and Halibut fishing trip. It is important to understand that this is called a "fishing trip", not a "catching trip". There will be times when large schools of fish will arrive creating a catching frenzy. At other times it will be fishing as usual, meaning you have to work at it.

Island Point Lodge personnel will guide you to some of the rivers which are active with salmon and trout. The fishing hours are unlimited, not like those of guided camps where fishing times are scheduled! Trolling for some salmon species is done directly in front of the lodge. This allows the fisherman an opportunity to fish from dawn (3 or 6 am) until breakfast, which are sometimes the most productive hours for fishing. Within five to forty five minutes from the lodge there are several rivers offering the spinner, caster and fly fisherman the opportunity to catch one or more of several species of salmon and trout.
