Our Location Is an Angler’s Dream Prince of Wales Island near Alaska’s Inside Passage has been a top draw for fishermen since the late 1800s.  9. Our 100-Year-Old Fishing Legacy Established in 1912 and operating until the 1970s, Waterfall Cannery, our forebearer, was a rugged **[community of fish trappers](https://www.waterfallresort.com/about/history/)**, seiners, and line crew, all joining together to manage what became a **record-busting salmon cannery**, the most productive operation in Alaska. And why stop there? Building on a century of angling prowess, Waterfall Resort has gone on to acclaim as one of the finest fishing destinations in the world. 8. The Best Guides, Boats, and Gear—and Bait Aplenty Our expert U.S. Coast Guard licensed guides are [**your best friends**](https://www.waterfallresort.com/fishing/guides-gear/) on the water, and our 26-foot aluminum cabin cruisers are equipped with shock-absorbent seats, heated cabins, Furuno marine electronics, private heads, and an arsenal of** field-tested equipment,** from G. Loomis and Berkley rods to Shimano reels and Eagle Claw hooks. We also throw in unlimited bait (!) and your tireless guide sets the hook for you *every single time*…. 7. No Fish Box Lugging Sure, we trim and process all your fish to your specifications, but we like to kick it up a notch. We also [**pack your catch**](https://www.waterfallresort.com/fishing/fish-processing/) in a wet-lock fish box and, on your departure day, our **on-site Alaska Airlines agent** checks in your bags and fish boxes through to your destination. When you arrive in Ketchikan, you whiz through security and board your connecting flights home, and your luggage and fish boxes meet you there. 6. Hearty Dining and a Kick-Ass Saloon When it comes to dining, we mean hearty Alaska-style fare. We’re talking the [**Dining Room**](https://www.waterfallresort.com/food-drink/dining-room/)’s ample **all-you-can-eat buffet**, the scene of energy-stoking hot breakfasts, a nightly fresh seafood appetizer table, thick cuts of beef, the wildest fillets, soups, salads, Pacific Coast wines, a battalion of homemade desserts, an ice-cream station…. And before and after dinner, guests hit the [**Lagoon Saloon**](https://www.waterfallresort.com/food-drink/lagoon-saloon/), the **fisherman’s outpost** with fully stocked bar, to swap fish tales, tip bottles, and play a mean game of ping-pong. 5. Bunking in Former Cannery Crew Quarters Our [**Boardwalk Cabins**](https://www.waterfallresort.com/guest-quarters/boardwalk-cabins/) and [**Lodge Rooms**](https://www.waterfallresort.com/guest-quarters/lodge-rooms/) once housed the intrepid crew working the salmon runs that made Waterfall Cannery its name. And did we mention that salmon roe was once stored in what has since morphed into our **[Egg House Suites](https://www.waterfallresort.com/guest-quarters/egg-house-suites/)?** Of course, everything at Waterfall Resort has been renovated to deliver modern-day comforts while preserving the spirit of our early days, and we swear a stay with us adds a little **sea swagger** to your step. 4. The 90-plus Crew Members at Your Service We’re the Alaska fishing lodge with the unparalleled **one-to-one staff-to-guest ratio**. The **sole aim of our crew** is to see that you have the best-ever [**wild Alaska fishing adventure**](https://www.waterfallresort.com/rates/2023-rates-specials/), from arrival to departure. 3. The Ultimate Adventure Photo Op Capture your scrappy pals reeling in mighty Chinooks and jumbo halibut while [**humongous humpbacks**](https://www.waterfallresort.com/about/sustainability/) surface within feet of your cruiser, and bald eagles swoop and dive-bomb overhead. Shoot selfies at the center of the action, geared up in swashbuckling neoprene boots and neon yellow rain gear during your great escape to your **[superlatively remote](https://www.waterfallresort.com/about/location/)** Alaska fishing lodge accessible only by air or sea amid the wilds of the unfathomably vast, gazillion-acre **Tongass National Forest**. 2. Amazing Fish Stories And they’re [**true**](https://www.waterfallresort.com/fishing/). ## 1. You WILL Catch Fish! Waterfall Resort guests have been known to bring home **half their own body weight** in wild Alaska [**fish steaks**](https://www.waterfallresort.com/fishing/fish-processing/) and fillets.
