Elfin Cove Fishing Charters

Elfin Cove straddles the boundary between Cross Sound and the open Gulf of Alaska on the northern tip of Chichagof Island, 85 miles west of Juneau, giving charter captains here direct access to some of the richest mixed-species grounds in Southeast Alaska. The outer-coast halibut and king salmon fishing is exceptional: kings migrating from the Gulf to rivers throughout the Pacific Northwest funnel through these waters in dense concentrations, and halibut over 200 pounds are caught regularly. The village has fewer than 25 year-round residents and is accessible only by floatplane or boat.

All-inclusive fly-in lodge and charter combo in Elfin Cove — one of Alaska's hidden gems for open-ocean halibut and king salmon without the crowds of the more accessible Southeast ports.
