FISHING
ADVERT: 6 March 2006:Sportfishing
is about location. The extreme tides and ocean currents surrounding
Alaska's Waterfall Resort
converge to create ideal habitats for bait fish which in turn attract
returning salmon and bottom fish in staggering numbers. The historic
cannery turned legendary sportfishing resort is located on the west
coast of Prince of Wales Island, 63 air miles west of Ketchikan. [ADV]
