Why Pybus Point Lodge Offers the Best Fishing in Alaska
LEARN MORE
An Alaskan vacation is one of the most amazing experiences, but before you just head up to see some of the most remote wilderness, best fishing, and incredible wildlife in the U.S., it’s important to understand what your trip will entail. Asking the right questions will help you find the best lodging and guides to see all that Alaska has to offer.
The water gives way to coastal mountain ranges with plenty of wildlife to see, and with lots of opportunities to get on the water with kayaking and boating or go on land for a hike. This is also a very popular area for fishing trips. The Pacific Ocean waters are rich with several types of salmon, halibut, cod, and more.
The type of accommodations you want depends a lot on your personal preferences, but it’s important to note that much of the lodging in Alaska is “rugged.” If you prefer this type of lodging, that’s great. But if you are hoping for something that more closely resembles a five-star hotel you definitely need to pay attention and book carefully.
Pybus Point Lodge is one of only a few resort-style facilities that you can book for fishing. It is also one of only a handful of all-inclusive resorts that offers:
There is a wide variety of lodging types in Alaska, and it’s important to understand what comes with the price you pay before you book your trip. Some accommodations will be typical hotels, which offer a place to sleep and basics like maid service. It will be up to you to book your own tours and excursions, transportation to remote locations by seaplane, and to have all the gear and other things you need for fishing, hiking, and kayaking (or find a place to rent it nearby).
Some remote lodging facilities will get you closer to nature but you will definitely not feel like you’re staying at a resort. For those who love the idea of “roughing it” you will find no shortage of opportunities in Alaska.
Pybus Point is unique because it offers the best of both worlds—a resort-style hotel that is out in the middle of nowhere. You get the beauty and serenity of Alaska and all the amenities you want and need.
Fishing is a big draw in Alaska during the summer months when millions of fish from several different species of salmon, rockfish, cod, and halibut congregate in the nutrient-rich waters. But that’s not all you can do. Find a vacation that offers other exciting adventures as well, such as:
With an all-inclusive resort you can take advantage of all these things during your stay.
Most people visit Alaska in the “summer months” between April and September. Anytime before or after these dates you will usually have a lot of snow, limiting your ability to see a lot of the wildlife and participate in activities like fishing (since the fish head for warmer waters).
If you are there for the fishing and hope to catch and take home some delicious seafood after your trip, it’s important to know when you can find your favorite fish species. Species that you can find in Alaska waters all season include:
Early in the season (May and June) you are more likely to find:
Later in the season (July to September) you are more likely to find:

Pybus Point Lodge is located on the remote and secluded far south edge of Admiralty Island National Monument. Coverage is always tricky in deep valleys and remote natural areas. We found that AT&T has the most reliable cellular service at the lodge while T-mobile, Sprint, and Verizon can be picked up while out on the ocean. We do have a lodge phone you can use if necessary.
If you can't get a signal, we do provide free high-speed WIFI to the lodge and cabins. A popular option is to utilize your phones WIFI calling mode to communicate and take calls while at the cabin, although we prefer to unplug and enjoy all that the island has to offer.
The calm, cool waters of Alaska’s Inside Passage are the perfect habitat for humpback whales. Our guests tell us close encounters with these peaceful giants have changed the way they see the world – and we know just what they mean.
