We had a great visit today with Logan (Nimpo Cub on the site here) Our Cabin at Stewarts Lodge on Nimpo Lake. Yesterday we left Alaska (sure going to miss Alaska - already do ) and flew down the Coast, customs in Prince Rupert, fuel in Bella Bella, then up the river to Bella Coola (shown here) and into Nimpo Lake. We each caught about 20 Cutthroat in about an hour. It is Southeast of Ketchikan and about as far South as you can get and still be in Alaska. This is the view from the boat at the last cabin we stayed at on this adventure. We visited several cabins in this fashion. We did not stay here, no one was using it so we stopped in, looked at it, took pictures and left.

Mark got some of it but it will take more time to download and edit so that will have to be a future project. Unfortunately I had a GoPro flop so I missed a lot of great video opportunity. We visited 5 cabins and flew past "The Wall" (a massive wall of granite like Half Dome in Yosemite), flew into and around "Punchbowl" Lake, Big Goat Lake and waterfalls, then into Wilson Lake. George - I'll see you soon, if not, Lord willing, next summerĪfter a great stay at the Swan Lake Cabin, Mark and I went on a Misty Fiords tour. Jasper field and jprax - thank you for the kind words. Thanks for your interest and, as always, your support We later found a description in a local paper left in a cabin. We did not know what they were doing, just kept seeing them swim in circles and lots of bubbles. It was a most unusual sight and one I'm sure few folks have the opportunity to see.
This traps all the fish in the circle, they then have a food fest. The whale swims in a small circle and blows bubbles. Awesome just can't describe this place.Īlso Mark and I saw a BUNCH of whales and had an opportunity to see them doing "Bubble net fishing". We boated to the other end of the Lake, then hiked to the falls. Lots of waterfalls with outflow like this. I will see how the video came out when we left later today. Video below shows what it is like on a good day. The lake is close to 1500" MSL so wx can be an issue. Me at the helmĬaptain Mark at the helm on Swan Lake. It has really made a difference in both the fishing and also the sightseeing. I highly recommend you bring one when you come. It is fun to drop in (as long as no one is there - don't want to disturb their tranquility) and look at the cabins. Mark and I stopped in to check out this cabin. Headed down into Misty Fiords this evening and for the next couple of days.

Had to come to town to shower, replace some fishing lures (I lost a couple of my best producers), get supplies, etc and thought I do a quick update while here. We are passing through Petersburg now, got out of Swan Lake with pretty low weather. Fun fishing, awesome scenery, and even a nap one afternoon.
We had a couple of great days at the Swan Lake Cabin. Hope it is worth your time, and thanks for following I will try for a little video on the next update. This may very well be the best Cabin so far. In Petersburg now, heading to the Swan Lake Cabin that we could not get into for weather yesterday. Mark went to Traverse City MI and got his float rating before the trip so here he is logging PIC time in Alaska. My largest so far has been an 18" Cutthroat. Mark and I with a fire in front of the cabin.Īfter a "maintenance day" in Juneau (we changed the oil, greased the floats, adjusted the timing, etc etc) we flew into the Petersburg Lake Cabin for the night.Ĭaught lots of fish but most were not very big. Pretty place indeed.Īs noted above the weather was pretty low so we went to a cabin with a low elevation entry, which was Jims lake Cabin, that Mo and I stayed at. The first night Mark was here we stayed at Turner Lake, fish from above photo.
