Equipment

Join our experienced guides on 26’ Olympic Ocean cruisers fitted with heated cabins and restrooms. Tangle with the fighting Chinook (King Salmon) and experience the thrill of hauling in a monster halibut that can range over 100 lbs. Orvis endorsed fly fishing guides will supply the materials and instructions for you to tie your own flies or you may purchase free-tied flies in the Lodge tackle shop. Depending on the time of the year, your guide can also set out pots for Dungeness crab. Although we only take enough large male crabs to eat during your stay, the traps are always filled within a matter of hours.

Activities

Boardwalk is nestled in the sheltered cove of Thorne Bay. There isn’t another full service lodge within 50 miles. There are more than 23 lakes, streams and rivers within an hour's drive from the lodge. Thorne River and Stanley Creek produce one of Alaska’s best spring steelhead runs. 5 species of salmon, halibut, cutthroat and rainbow trout, ling cod, rockfish, and Dolly Varden are some of the many fish you can expect to fish for. Boardwalk can also arrange canoe trips or fly-outs to some of Alaska’s most beautiful areas, including the Misty Fjords National Monument where anglers may land on isolated lakes and cast in absolute solitude. For those adventurous guests wishing to experience the wilder side of Alaska sportfishing, Alaska's Boardwalk Lodge can arrange a day trip out of Craig on the Western side of Prince of Wales Island.

Remote Fly-out Trips

Trips are available for both fishing excursions and flightseeing adventures at an additional expense. Rates vary depending on destination and number of guests. Please call for details.
