Hidden Cove Camp

“Affordable, no frills, wilderness silver salmon fishing” would well describe this wonderful operation near Cordova; it is custom made for the self-sufficient salmon angler that values numbers of big, bright silver salmon in a wilderness setting more than creature comforts and high-end amenities.

Easy to access via two relatively short flights from Anchorage, this lodge has become a favorite among hardcore silver salmon addicts. The river fished (accessed largely with jet boats, and/or walking) is fairly small, and annually receives a very large run of cohos. Anglers have a blast throwing streamers and surface poppers alike to these chrome torpedos, many of which can be seen holding in the shallow runs and pools. Accommodations are Spartan, food is excellent, and the guides work hard. And it is a great value.
