Welcome to Tanaku Lodge, Alaska's finest sport fishing resort! We are located on the northern-most tip of the famed inside passage in the boardwalk community of Elfin Cove Alaska.
Our southeast Alaska location is well-known for its extraordinary fishing
action and our lodge is renown for its superb guest services, four-star
cuisine, excellent guiding staff and down-home hospitality!
Our Alaska lodge is the perfect vacation destination for those seeking
an escape from the disquiet and break-neck tempo of city life. It doesn't
take long for our guests to be transformed by the mixture of our friendly
lodge services and the embracing quiet and pristine wilderness found
here.
Our fresh air will intoxicate you, the abundant wildlife will thrill
you, our epic glacial scenery will captivate you, and your fishing success
will make you return with the migrating salmon each season!
Elfin Cove, Alaska is a small fishing community located on Chichagof
Island. There are approximately ten residents who live here during the
winter months, but this sleepy hollow comes to life during spring and
summer due to the tremendous runs of ocean-brite salmon.
Yes, our fertile waters provide you with a virtual bonanza of fishing
action and plenty of angling options!
Whether your orientation is fly-fishing with an emphasis on catch and
release, or hot and heavy saltwater angling with a desire to take home
boxes of fresh/frozen fillets and steaks - Tanaku Lodge should be on
your short-list of where to sport fish anywhere in the world!
There are a number of streams and rivers nearby where you can match your
fly, bait or lure casting expertise against lively dolly-varden, trout,
and pink and coho salmon. The water is so crystal clear you can see the
fish strike your fly or lure! Man Oh man, it just doesn't get better
than this!
We are currently planning our 2007 season and want to encourage all prior
guests, who haven't already secured their 2007 trip dates, and others
planning their first vacation- to contact us soon! The reason for our
encouragement is to make sure you are able to get your favorite Alaska
Vacation dates (this is very important to us!). We expect an unusually
high demand for trips to our lodge due to avid anglers and those planning
their annual vacations to opt for stateside, rather than overseas, destinations.

film footage of Number 39 enjoying an exciting fishing vacation at our
lodge. Enjoy!
Our dedicated goal and 100% focus is to assure each guest vacationing
