This auction is for transportation from Hollis (out of Ketchikan) to Whale Pass, and 3 to 6 days lodging (your choice depending on availability), and return to Hollis. This is good for up to 3 people as described further below. Starting at $100.00 per day per person.

Whale Pass is located on the North end of Prince of Wales Island (POW), northwest of Ketchikan. It is the third largest island in the United States. There are close to 1300 miles of road to explore. POW ‘s population is sparse, being about 5000 people on the whole island. Whale Pass has about 50 full time residents. There are a lot of black bears (no brown’s or grizzlies), numerous Sitka Blacktail deer, hundreds of Bald Eagles, and tons of fish!
It is about a 5 minute walk behind the Lodge, and down the trail to Neck Outlet. Our property goes right to the water. This is in the tidal zone, and the fishing here is at times outrageous. You can fish from the bank, or we have an aluminum boat you can fish in around the inlet. You are allowed 6 Coho per day, and 6 Pink (humpy) salmon per day. There are also numerous other streams within a 20 mile radius that all have excellent fishing. Plus Neck Lake which has good trout fishing.
We are NOT a guide service. We only provide you with a place to stay, a place to process your fish, and something to eat. We can set you up for charter halibut fishing if you want. We have crab pots for you to use, and we occasionally get shrimp also. We do eat crab every night!
We have home-type vacuum packers for you to use, but you need to bring your own vacuum bags. We have freezers to put your fish in.
If you stay with us, you will be treated like family. There are some rules. No smoking, no drugs, no swearing, only social drinking. You will have your own bedroom, and your own bathroom. We are not going to be a butler or a maid. If you want that, then the lodge across the bay is where you need to go, at $1500 per day. What we have is a comfortable, affordable place to stay, to enjoy what this part of Alaska has to offer.
We eat very simply. Good plain food, but not 10 course meals (like across the bay). If there is something special you want to eat, or a special seasoning, then bring it with you. It is 70 miles to the nearest grocery store, so if we run out of something, we make do.
We have a couple small smokers to use if you want to smoke some fish. You might want to bring your own smokin’ chips.
There is a small church nearby if you want to go. We have electricity (at 52 cents per KWH second it is most expensive in the USA), and telephone. There is Internet access at the small library about 6 miles away. No TV!
What we have is a very informal lodge, which we have named the Coho Chalet. There is nothing fancy here, but it is clean, and warm, with wood heat. We are not a 5 star establishment, but your home probably isn’t either.
There is a lot to see and do. Southeast Alaska is an experience everyone must savoir at least once. Please email me with any questions you have. The days available are between June 15 to June 25; July 1 through July 14; and July 24 through August 1st. While there is Coho fishing the first of June, it generally gets better around June 15.
This auction is for 3, 4, 5 or 6 days and nights accommodations, your choice, as described above. The starting bid is $100.00 per person per day. Your final bill will be your daily bid times the number of days you want to stay. Just bid what you and you fishing partner(s) want to pay per day per person, and we will figure out the total when the auction is over, based on the number of days you want to stay.
If you are a man and wife couple, we will discount some once the auction is over, assuming you share the same room. It’s only a double bed though, no queen or king size, sorry.
This includes transportation to and from Hollis (where we will pick you up), but not fishing licenses. Transportation options are listed on our website.
Even if you do not bid, plan on seeing this spectacular country someday. But don’t wait too long, as father time and old age has a tendency to creep up rather fast the older we get.
