Fall Fishing Adventures: Freshwater Silver Salmon

As we flip the calendar to July, many of us turn our attention to the upcoming fall fishing season here atFavorite Bay Lodge, the only luxury fishing lodge near Angoon, Alaska. We’ve evolved into one of the most talked-about Southeast Alaska fishing lodges primarily because of oursaltwater fishing trips, gourmet cuisine, and jaw-dropping ocean views. But our serene island destination is also a short boat and canoe trip from world-class salmon and trout fishing, especially during autumn’s peak. Many anglers prefer fall fishing trips because the freshwater silver “coho” salmon are as feisty as ever, and the surrounding forestry transforms into a colorful meld of marigold, kelly green, and sandstone orange here on Admiralty Island.
