Freshwater Fishing
Neck Creek currently has excellent numbers of early run coho salmon from the bridge down into Whale Passage. Sockeye salmon are present in good numbers in the Sweetwater Lake drainage and beginning to show in other drainages such as Sarkar, Karta and Thorne river drainages. Freshwater rainbow and cutthroat trout fishing is currently good. The following lakes and associated stream drainages should offer good trout and Dolly Varden fishing; Control, Klawock, Luck, and Red Bay Lakes as well as the Thorne River drainage.
Saltwater Fishing
Marine angling around the Prince of Wales is currently good for king salmon, halibut, rockfish and lingcod. Coho salmon are now present and will continue to increase in numbers as the summer progresses.
***Reminder***
