I love small planes [had my licence years ago],fortunately someone else picked up the tab when we flew into Knight Inlet to work. Knight In is probably not to different from SE Alaska ,mountains comming right out of the water ,Orkas,in the inlet ,big salmon runs ,and there own weather patterns due to the high mts and glaciers at the head of the inlet .griss and blackies fairly abundent norm There is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of even one small candle----Robert Alden .

There is also some ancient totems (and other historical stuff) on display at the Totem Heritage Center which is over by the park, fish hatchery and Eagle center. Eat a Halibut Burger at the Burger Queen (burger bitch just didn't sound right) which is on the north end of the tunnel. If your into fishing there is plenty of that still going on. The Sourdough Bar has lots of good historical pictures on the walls. Some logging is picking up a little and mining out on Prince of Wales is happening. Commercial fishing is still big business.

The borough is likely the number you listed. so the borough is like a county or municpality,as in the whole island or more?

We have boroughs in AK (it's NOT AL ) They are similar to counties in a lot of ways, but are much much larger area. If you take the time it takes, it takes less time. --Pat Parelli American by birth; Alaskan by choice. --ironbender

You might try Cedar's Lodge, they are right on the wharf, have rental boats, Clover pass is owned by the same family. Tell them you were sent there by me and get a great deal. Ask for Jeremy and tell him you will trade him some guns. You may want to call ahead of when you would be there and they could have things ready for you. 8 hours should be enough time to catch a fish...

You would want it filleted and frozen, they can do it at Cedars in a matter of minutes. They have a specially made flash freezer that will turn a fish solid in minutes.

I didn't stay at the lodge but hired a charter through them & they took care of the fish for me. I'd recommend them as well. Also, we brought a couple boxes of fish home as lugguge via Alaska Air, it was cheaper than Fedex going to MT.

You just walk off the boat and catch up with whoever you need to. Al Spend your life wisely.
