A Ketchikan Alaska Fishing Lodge

GREAT LOCATION
Chinook shores is located on a private beach, just a 20 minute drive from Ketchikan and only a 90 minute direct flight from Seattle. There are just not many Alaska fishing lodges where you can leave Seattle at breakfast and be landing a salmon for lunch, but we are one of them.

GREAT FISHING (Guided or Self-Guided)
Massive schools of herring, all five species of salmon and pacific halibut migrate through the protected waters of Alaska’s famous Inside Passage from May through October in great abundance, giving us world class fishing all summer long.

DELUXE ACCOMMODATIONS & FACILITIES
Lodging is provided in private waterfront chalets. Each 1,000 SF chalet sleeps up to 6 people exclusive to your group and has a full kitchen, covered decks and a gas grill for you to prepare your fresh caught meals. Our Alaska fishing lodge provides you with all the facilities and equipment imaginable to make your stay comfortable, successful and enjoyable.

MODERN BOATS & PRIVATE DOCK
We didn’t cut any corners when we bought boats. Self-guided boats are 20’ North River Seahawks with 4-stroke outboards, GPS, sonar, VHF radios and downriggers. Guided boats are efficient, comfortable 28’ cabin cruisers with stand-up heads. Our local guides are USCG licensed captains that have been fishing these waters for over 20 years.

OPTIONAL ECOTOURS & CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
Do friends or family want to come that aren’t die-hard fishermen? No problem, there are many great tours & activities available from Chinook Shores: Nature Hikes, Sea-Kayaking, Rainforest canopy tours, Totem Parks, Historic downtown Ketchikan…and more.

LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED
When you stay at Chinook Shores rest assured you are in the company of a true Alaskan fishing lodge. The owner/operators are 3rd generation Alaskans who live year round at the lodge. Their concern for the environment, your well-being and happiness is genuine and they are excited to share with you, the abundant resources of Alaska.
