Yes Bay Lodge

Yes Bay Lodge lies fifty miles north of Ketchikan in southern Southeast Alaska. Overlooking the spectacular view of the Bay and pristine Wolverine Creek, the Lodge is nestled in the heart of The Tongass National Forest, one of the most magnificent places to visit in Alaska.

In addition to the plentiful Salmon, guests may opt to bottom fish for Halibut, Rockfish, and Lingcod.
