Screamin’ Reels: The Best Fishing Lodge in Craig, Alaska
Screamin’ Reels Lodge is located on the west side of Prince of Wales Island, approximately 57 miles northwest of Ketchikan, Alaska. The All-inclusive Alaska fishing lodge has luxury accommodations with attention to detail in every aspect, providing you with an epic Alaska fishing vacation. The professional and welcoming staff are fully trained in their jobs, and it shows they truly love what they do! The Cuisine prepared by our personal chef is fresh and delicious! The Lodge is nestled just a few miles outside the town of Craig, Alaska which is known to be a gateway to the vast Tongass National Forest.
World-Class Alaskan Salmon and Halibut Fishing Trips
Having the best fishing in Alaska is what tips the scales and separates us from other locations around the state. The lodge is located in the heart of the largest Pacific Salmon migration, offering multi-species fishing daily with world-class King Salmon, Silver Salmon, Halibut, and Pelagic Rockfish inhabiting the pristine waters of the Tongass National Forest, the largest national forest in the United States. Guests quickly realize why the Tongass is considered the “Crown Jewel” of all our national forests.
Professional Alaska Fishing Guides and Charters
With Screamin’ Reels, you will experience fishing in and around heavily forested islands on large, full-walkaround, custom-built North River Boats with twin clean burning outboards and the industry’s best fishing rods and reels. Our professional Captains and fully trained deckhands are patient, fun, and dedicated to showing you the ultimate Alaska fishing experience!
Alaska Wildlife and Fishing Tours
While fishing, you will learn about and see abundant wildlife thriving in the Tongass. Witnessing Humpback whales bubble-feeding near the boat while reeling in massive King Salmon is a daily occurrence! You will also view Sea Otters, Black Bears, and Sitka Blacktail Deer roaming the beautiful island shorelines and the largest Bald Eagle population in the United States soaring or perching overhead. It truly makes for an authentic Alaska fishing experience!

My father and I, along with a group of good friends visited Screamin Reels and had the classic SE Alaska mixed bag trip. We limited on Silvers, Halibut, and Sea Bass every day. The lodge is beautiful, the staff is wonderful, the boats are impeccable, and our captain (Derek) was totally dialed-in on the fish.

We have been fishing with Screamin Reels since 2018 and every time the trip has been phenomenal. You will not find a harder working or more friendly fishing guide than Derek Anderson, he will ensure you have an excellent experience. That and his staff are second to none, I can’t wait to return!
Chris Albert – Washington
It will be hard to top our first fishing trip to Alaska. From our airport pickup to drop off, Derek and his team worked tirelessly to ensure we had a great trip. From the comfortable accommodations, the incredible fresh food, the impeccably kept boats to the guides, deck hands, and fish cleaners that made sure we went home with our limits — we just can’t say enough. ...

We used multiple outfitters before we found Screamin Reels. We enjoyed the experience so much we have used them every year since 2017. The quality of the fishing, accommodations, and people are all great.
Allen Kitts – Montana
I spent a few days with Derek and his family in Craig doing a little salmon fishing. The lodge is beautiful with plenty of rooms for people to stay in and a large open area to gather with friends and family to converse about the days fishing or to enjoy a great meal. The food at the lodge was incredible. Derek’s boats are very nice, roomy, clean and comfortable enough to hang out on all day! ...

I usually don’t leave reviews, but… One of the best times of my life. Five of us in our group and everyone in the group is still talking about this trip eight months later. Derek, Sue and everyone were very nice and accommodating. Homemade dinner every evening after the fishing trip, clean and newly remodeled cabins/rooms, five-star service on and off the water, beautiful scenery, ...They truly are second to none!
