While Screamin’ Reels Lodge is first and foremost a premier Alaska fishing lodge, our remote location in the Tongass National Forest naturally lends itself to eco-tourism. At its core, eco-tourism is about experiencing natural places responsibly and helping preserve them for future generations. That mindset is simply part of life in Alaska. Whether you’re fishing pristine waters, watching wildlife along the shoreline, or learning about the surrounding landscape from local guides, many experiences at Screamin’ Reels Lodge are perfect for eco-tourists!

Screamin’ Reels- A Gateway to the Tongass National Forest

The Tongass National Forest is unlike anywhere else in the country. Spanning nearly 17 million acres across Southeast Alaska, it is the largest national forest in the United States and part of the largest intact temperate rainforest on Earth. Rugged coastlines, glacial fjords, snow-capped mountains, and old-growth forests define the landscape, creating one of the most scenic and ecologically important regions in the world.

Our Alaska fishing lodge is a gateway to the Tongass National Forest. Exploring the forest with experienced local guides at Screamin’ Reels helps visitors enjoy Alaska’s wilderness while minimizing their impact on the environment and wildlife that call it home. 

Fishing in the Tongass

Tongass National Forest is home to some of the best fishing conditions in Alaska, teeming with King Salmon, Silver Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, and Rockfish. 

Guests head out daily on guided fishing charters aboard fully equipped walk-around boats with professional captains and deckhands. We pride ourselves on delivering fast-action fishing while keeping conservation at the forefront of every trip. By targeting specific species each day and practicing responsible fishing methods, we help protect these fisheries for future generations to enjoy.

Just as important as the catch itself is the care that goes into it. Our crew takes great care of your fish from the moment it’s landed, ensuring you return home with some of the freshest, best-tasting seafood Alaska has to offer. 

Wildlife and Local Culture

Fishing is only part of the experience. While exploring the waters of Tongass National Forest, guests often encounter humpback whales, sea otters, black bears, Sitka black-tailed deer, and bald eagles in their natural habitat. Viewing wildlife from the water offers a unique perspective while helping minimize disturbance to these animals.

Our guides also share knowledge about the region’s history, native cultures, and natural resources throughout each trip. From local stories to insights about the surrounding environment, every day on the water becomes a deeper connection to Alaska and the Tongass itself.
