We had a great time here fishing for 3 days. Not luxury, but who's looking for that on a fishing trip? The rooms were nice and comfortable. Food was good and there was lots of it. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. I will most likely be making a return trip here for more fishing.
Only visited during Wildlife Walking Excursion. Had wonderful feast. They just dumped clams, crab legs, and other seafood and potatoes, onions, carrots and veggies in the middle of the table for all to grab and eat. One disgusting guy loaded up on food to take back to his family in their hotel. Just plain rude! Everyone else was really nice.
We came here in a cruise, to meet a tour boat that took us up to Silverking Lodge for a special crab lunch. We had a great time. The boat very comfortable, the people from the lodge that greeted us super nice. We saw bald eagles catching fish, great time.
We had a great time at Clover Pass. The staff was amazing. The chef was an amazing cook and made some great food! The dock staff was very kind and Kelly had us iced and ready to go by 5 am just in time for some amazing salmon fishing. I took a group of 9 guys and everyone of them was so thrilled. I can’t wait to go back. Thank you Russell and all your great staff!
My son and husband just returned from here. The rooms were as minimal but nice hot showers. The mattress sunk almost to the floor it felt he said. So hardly any sleep. Food was delicious. Breakfast plenty to choose and start the day off great. Packing your lunches was Terrific. The dinners good at the end of an Amazing fishing filled day. Loved the outdoor big deck and activities. Plus what a view. Thanks for the live camera of the loading/unloading so I could get lots of pictures with about a 40 second lag. They supplied rain gear and did an amazing job cleaning and packing all their fish for the trip home. Truly a trip of a lifetime. But please get new mattresses ; )
Loved our time here between ferry rides. We stationed here and walked around, picking berries, seeing the sites. The space was a bit cramped, but what can you expect. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
We loved this resort. The staff were way nice and super helpful. The office staff, shuttle driver, dock crew, and restaurant staff were all awesome. They all did a great job. Our fish were processed perfectly and everything went great. They were super understanding with getting us setup on our boat and pointing us the right direction with fishing spots and proper gear etc. There were a few changes we had to make last minute and they were super accommodating. We did a charter boat with Rick one day and that was the most amazing fishing ever. Me, my dad and my two brothers had a GREAT time. The food was awesome as well. Thanks!!!
Stayed 5 days and fished 4 days. The staff are great; friendly and helpful. The food is very good also. The rooms are Ok which is fine since you spend so much time fishing. They would help if they had blackout curtains and the walls were thicker. We fished with Axel Svenson. He is great! Helped us limit out on all species for 2 days and a bunch of fish the other days. He is helpful but will warn you if you do something that is not safe. He is a great captain and safety navigates rough seas. Get Axel and you will be happy!
