Stand on the docks in Petersburg, Alaska, and look west across the Wrangell Narrows. That ridge of spruce and hemlock is Kupreanof Island. Its story runs from Tlingit fish camps to Russian charts to a fox farm that switched to mink.
Island Point Lodge shares that island, about 12 miles south of Petersburg along the Narrows. Book directly and you'll spend a week fishing the same waters that surround the smallest city in the state.
Alaska fishing trips have a reputation for heavy gear, long flights and coolers packed to the lid. Sustainable travel does not have to be the opposite of that.
Book directly and you get lodging, meals, transportation, and the vacation rental amenities that keep you fishing instead of fussing.
One way to stay entertained and possibly learn some valuable fishing information is to log in to your social media of choice and follow a few fishing or outdoor travel influencers.
Rely on some classic Dungeness Crab recipes. Alternatively, you can take a more unique approach and look into Dungeness Crab recipes that are outside of your comfort zone.
Before you step foot onto an airplane and head to Alaska, keep this checklist in mind when packing for your fishing excursion. Another way to make this a successful fishing trip is to book directly with Island Point Lodge.
