jigging tackle, as well as crab and shrimp traps

system, a TV and 400 DVDs. Both English and Spanish are spoken. There
is an open bridge policy and guests are encouraged to spend time on the

although May and June are cool, those months typically have the sunniest
weather and the best king salmon fishing with dramatic waterfalls from
melting snow. June and July are excellent for berry-picking. July and August

Halibut are abundant throughout the
