Waters Edge Lodge

Waters Edge Lodge is owned and operated by Kelly and Mary Crump, who run it as an all-inclusive, self-guided fishing lodge in Elfin Cove on northwest Chichagof Island. Rather than putting a guide in every boat, the Crumps set guests up with boats and point them toward productive water, drawing on what the site describes as extensive knowledge of fishing Southeast Alaska.

Guests target trophy halibut and salmon in the protected waters of the Tongass, and the lodge keeps managers, a chef, boat captains, and crew on staff to handle everything off the water.
