Jumping Salmon Lodge!

Nestled in a remote bay of southwestern Prince William Sound Alaska, Jumping Salmon Lodge offers a unique and exclusive once in a lifetime experience. We cater to fisherman, kayakers, wildlife/sea-life enthusiasts, hunters, as well as families or corporate groups looking for an “off the beaten path” adventure.

Jumping Salmon Lodge is located approximately 1-½ miles from the native village of Chenega Bay, Alaska. Our remote location allows our clients to render the true experience of Alaska’s last frontier. Jumping Salmon Lodge is proud to be the only full-service lodge in southwestern Prince William Sound. We rarely share our fishing grounds with any other charter vessels. We pride ourselves on being family owned and operated and we work hand in hand with all of our clients to ensure that their personal interests and enjoyments are satisfied.

Our name, Jumping Salmon Lodge, was inspired by the thousands of jumping salmon that migrate to our bay (Sawmill Bay) every season. You too will have the opportunity to witness this amazing phenomenon while relaxing next to the fire on the deck of your personal cabin.

Jumping Salmon Lodge has been featured in Fish Alaska Magazing and on the Outdoor Life Network. In 2003, Larry Csonka showcased Jumping Salmon Lodge on Stihl’s “North to Alaska” outdoor adventure television series. Fishing is our specialty.

Experience Alaska
We commonly share our fishing grounds with Stellar Sea Lions, Porpoises, Harbor Seals, Orca (killer) and Humpback whales, as well as various types of birds including Puffins, Oyster Catchers, Cormorants, and the majestic Bald Eagle. You might even see an old Black Bear feeding on migrating salmon from a mountain stream. This fruitful eco-system provides us the opportunity to fish for Halibut, Dolly Varden, Salmon Shark, many forms of rock fish including Lingcod and Red Snapper, and all five species of Pacific Salmon. Fresh shrimp are frequently served with our home cooked gourmet meals.

Planning Your Trip
Our staff ensures that your trip is custom tailored to your specific needs and desires. We work closely with you to plan the logistical and strategic details of your trip. At Jumping Salmon Lodge, any fishing, hunting, or wildlife viewing idea is possible. If your desire is to do more wildlife viewing than fishing or visa-versa…we can make it possible. We can custom modify any excursion to accommodate your individual needs. We can also just provide lodging, with or without meals. Some changes may require us to add additional charges to our package price. In such a case, you will be notified in advance before your trip is finalized.
