Why is the Fishing so good at Waterfall Resort?
Waterfall Resort is known the world over for the staggering number of Trophy-Size Salmon, Halibut and Ling-Cod that are caught by our Guests year after year.
But why is Alaskan Sport Fishing so good at Waterfall Resort? One word: Location.
Along the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island where Waterfall Resort is located, extreme tides and surging ocean currents create a habitat for millions of bait fish that attract annual returns of Trophy-size Salmon, Halibut, Red Snapper, and Ling Cod.
These natural phenomena, which first attracted commercial fishermen, offer premier Fishing grounds in Alaska for some of the best Salmon and Halibut Sport Fishing in the world.
In fact, the fishing grounds surrounding Waterfall Resort are so rich and plentiful, the Waterfall Cannery was once one of the most productive Salmon Fishing Canneries in all of Alaska.
Waterfall Resort attracts anglers of all skill levels, from first timers to experienced Fishermen, Celebrities, Professional Athletes and Corporate Outings.

    In the early 1900’s, Waterfall was the largest salmon packing plant on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island. Like most canneries in Alaska, this remote operation on the Ulloa Channel was a complete, self- sufficient, temporary community. When the season was over, all but a few workers departed until the next summer’s migration.
