Larsen Bay Lodge offers truly superb halibut fishing!
These are huge fish that are a blast to catch on stand-up tackle! But they
are also absolutely delicious to eat! It is prized for its delicate sweet
flavor, snow-white color and firm flaky meat. Halibut is the world’s
premium whitefish.
One of the best parts about halibut fishing at Larsen
Bay Lodge is that you don’t have to travel for hours by boat across open
water to get to the fishing grounds, (like you do in most other
parts of
Alaska). We have caught 300lb. halibut with 300 yards of the lodge! Most
of our halibut fishing is done close to shore. Often we are fishing so
close to shore you can literally throw a rock and hit the bank! Larsen Bay
Lodge’s location on deep protected bays means it is highly unlikely that a
big blow that will keep you from going halibut fishing!
The best halibut fishing is in July and early August.
But if you come in late August or September, you will be fishing for halibut
and silver salmon in the same water. If the halibut fishing is slow,
all you have to do is weigh anchor and begin trolling for silvers, and vice
versa!
No matter when you come, as an added bonus to the
outstanding fishing, you will often see bald eagles, whales, Steller Sea
Lions, puffins, harbor seals, and sea otters, during the day. It can be a
sightseeing extravaganza!
