Award Winning Alaska Sport Fishing and Wilderness Adventures at Historic Waterfall Resort -- Now Open for the Season

Ketchikan, AK (PRWEB) June 23, 2010

WATERFALL RESORT, a historically-maintained former cannery turned upscale, world-class saltwater sport fishing resort located on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska?s famous Inside Passage attracts anglers of all skill levels for the staggering number of trophy-size King Salmon, Coho and Halibut.

Strong tides prime the deep waters with millions of baitfish that attract annual returns of salmon, halibut, red snapper and ling cod along the dramatic coastline; not to mention the high-percentage annual return of anglers to Waterfall each season!

With a fleet of 25 state-of-the-art aluminum North River / Almar cabin cruisers piloted by coast-guard certified guides, Waterfall guests fish from the largest private fleet of boats in Alaska. Each cruiser, outfitted with heated cabins, air suspension seats, fish finders, Global Positioning Systems, and long-range communications technology, adds an element of luxury and comfort to the great outdoors.

After an exhilarating day on the water, photos are taken on the dock while the fish is taken to the seafood processing area where experienced cutters fillet (according to each guest?s request), vacuum-package, then flash freeze the catch. The fish will be placed in special wet-lock boxes for the return trip home.

The Resort?s 4-star meals and accommodations welcome guests while the one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio allows staff to provide attention to detail for each visitor?s requests and comfort. This distinguishes the Waterfall Alaskan experience from any other vacation adventure.

Breakfast and dinner are served in the guest dining room where breathtaking views of the Ulloa Channel at the edge of the Tongass National Forest, the nation?s largest national forest, add to the dining experience.

Gourmet meals created by seasoned Head Chef Michael Vogler spotlight the Resort?s tradition of only the best for each guest. From Alaska-style appetizers to fresh seafood and prime meat entrees to specialty desserts, Waterfall guests take home memories of the mouth-watering cuisine as well as the jaw-dropping fishing! During Waterfall?s

off-season, Chef Michael is the Executive Chef for Squaw Valley Ski Corporation.

Box lunches and soft drinks are served on-board daily. Guests design their own box lunches from a delicious menu selection that includes a hot meal choice.

Among the activities at Waterfall is the trip along the boardwalk to the namesake waterfall. Guests should have a camera ready to photograph the abundant wildlife on-shore as well as on the water. Awe-struck visitors witness nature?s wonders in nearby natural habitats. Whales, sea lions, bears and eagles thrive in the wilderness environment that surrounds Waterfall.

Easy to get to Waterfall Resort, 600 miles north of Seattle and 63 air miles west of Ketchikan, is one of the most memorable highlights of this Alaska experience. A 45-minute photo op-inducing scenic float plane trip soaring above the most majestic and magnificent scenery imaginable completes the journey from Ketchikan to the Resort on Prince of Wales Island, the nation?s third largest island.

Waterfall Resort is the only resort in the world to have an on-site airline agent. The Alaska Airlines dockside agents facilitate a ?hassle-free? departure day. Luggage and fish boxes are checked in at the Resort and then transferred directly to the guest?s flight leaving Ketchikan.

Historic Salmon Cannery Celebrates 27 Years as Alaska's Premier Salmon Fishing Resort

Ketchikan, AK (PRWEB) March 19, 2011

Waterfall Resort, a historic former cannery turned upscale, world-class saltwater sport fishing resort is located on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska?s famous Inside Passage. Waterfall attracts anglers of all skill levels for staggering numbers of trophy-size King Salmon, Coho and Halibut and offers a Fly-Free to Alaska promotion when a guest books the all-inclusive 3-night / 4-day sport fishing package on selected dates.

?Celebrating 27 years, Waterfall?s $ 100,000 King of Kings Salmon Tournament awards over 29 prizes for which guests vie for throughout the summer. From a Ford Truck to an international Princess Cruise for two, and gift certificates from Cabela?s, the annual Tournament is a Waterfall tradition and favorite!

The 3-night/4-day Waterfall Package includes: round-trip floatplane, accommodations, meals, guided fishing, fishing gear, rain gear, and fish processing.

Waterfall Resort offers some of the best salmon and halibut sport fishing in the world. In the clear, cool waters surrounding Prince of Wales Island, rich tides prime the deep waters with millions of bait fish that attract annual returns of trophy-size salmon, halibut, red snapper, and ling cod. These natural phenomena first made Waterfall one of the most productive salmon canneries in Alaska.

Today, the resort attracts anglers of all skill levels for legendary sport fishing and Alaskan adventure. Waterfall?s guides, among the most experienced in Alaska, are certified, licensed, recruited from across the nation and return each year to helm cruisers that fish 4 guests per boat.

"For the novice angler to grizzled old salts, here?s a piece of advice. Put away your ego, forget about your past fishing experiences and listen to your guide, following his instructions to a tee" suggests Peter Ottesen, Outdoor writer

At Waterfall Resort, where Chinook salmon is ?king,? it takes a special technique to hook and net the ultimate prize. Catching a salmon requires mooching with a plug herring. While the boat drifts you are asked to lower the bait slowly, so it doesn?t wrap around itself. On the way down to depth prescribed by your guide, be alert to the slightest bite or hesitation, or a complete stop. If this happens, reel back about 10 turns on your Shimano level-wind and you?ll quickly learn if a salmon is present.

Never ever set the hook. Reel at a steady pace and allow the G. Loomis Rod to load up and nearly bend into the water, as if it were a witching stick. Only then do you raise the rod as the salmon bolts to the ocean depths. Do not jerk the rod or horse the fish. Salmon have soft mouths. Allow it to take line, don?t cinch the drag or thumb the reel, and let the rod do the work. It?s an epic battle you can win, if you follow instructions.

With a fleet of 27 state-of-the-art aluminum North River / Almar cabin cruisers piloted by Coast-guard certified guides, Waterfall guests fish from the largest private fleet of charter boats in Alaska.

After an exhilarating day on the water, the fish are taken to the seafood processing area where experienced cutters fillet (according to each guest?s request), vacuum-package, and flash freeze the catch. The fish are then placed in special wet-lock boxes for the return trip home.

The Resort?s 4-star meals and 4-star accommodations welcome guests while the one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio allows staff to provide attention to detail for each visitor?s requests and comfort.

Easy-to-get-to, Waterfall Resort is 600 miles north of Seattle and 63 air miles west of Ketchikan via a scenic 45-minute floatplane trip which is one of the most memorable highlights of this Alaska experience.

Upon arrival at Waterfall, guests board their assigned cruisers. The legendary Waterfall sport fishing adventure is underway within moments of landing.

Waterfall Resort is the only remote resort in Alaska to have an on-site airline agent. The Alaska Airlines dockside agents facilitate a ?hassle-free? departure day. Luggage and fish boxes are checked in at the Resort and then transferred directly to the guest?s flight leaving Ketchikan.
