 
  
Welcome to one of Alaska's last great fishing vacation destinations.
Whether you're looking for tackle-busting salmon, monster barn-door halibut
or just capturing unforgettable Alaskan views and sunsets, be assured,
you'll find it at our unique oceanside wilderness lodge. |
 Ravencroft Lodge fronts on Port Fidalgo Inlet, one of the many remote and protected waterways in Prince William Sound. The area is surrounded by high rugged mountain peaks. Wildlife abounds here. Humpback whales, Gray whales, Orcas, Black Bears, Grizzly (Brown) Bears, porpoises, otters and a wide array of other flora and fauna live in the area.
The fishing here is fabulous. Fishing for 'feeder' King Salmon is available in April and May. In late June /early July, Pink Salmon arrive by the millions, schooling in the bays in preparation for running up the coastal streams to spawn. The Pink Salmon fishing is excellent through mid August. In early August, the Silver Salmon (Coho's) arrive and cruise the beaches and bays in large schools, waiting for the Pinks to finish, so they can go upstream to spawn.
 Silver Salmon fishing runs August through September. From the Lodge, we fish for the salmon in the saltwater. They are still ocean- fresh and full of energy, having just arrived out of the Pacific Ocean and not having spawned yet. They are bright, powerful and tackle-busting. We recommend fly-fishing for Coho's in the surf. You will never forget it.
In addition to the salmon fishing, we have great Halibut fishing near the lodge. There is also a large variety of other species to fish for, and they are sometimes hard to keep off your hook while Halibut fishing. Stalking the big Salmon Sharks which follow the salmon migrations up our inlet is a new and exciting aspect of fishing at Ravencroft.
 The main Lodge building is a large facility located right on the beach, with spacious porches overlooking the inlet and surrounding mountains. This is the center of activity at Ravencroft, and all meals are served here in the lodge dinning room. The lounge/meeting room is a relaxing place for guests to hang out and discuss the days exciting events before turning in. The 'Bunkhouse' building is nestled into a nook in the coastal rainforest, a few yards back from the beach. Rooms consist of one large 'community' bunkhouse-type room and four standard double rooms. This building has indoor plumbing with 2 hot showers and 2 bathrooms. The larger community room will accommodate up to 10 guests.
 It has 5 double bunk bed berths, a heating stove with a clothes drying area. The four individual rooms accommodate
up to 2 guests each. Each room has a double bunk bed. Each room also has its own heating stove and clothes drying area. Bathrooms and showers, two of each, are located at one end of the Bunkhouse building, and are accessed off the surround-porch which extends all the way around the building. Satellite television and Internet are available for everyone in the lounge/meeting room. There is limited cell phone service available in our area as well. |
