Fireweed exceeded every expectation I had for my FIRST Alaska Fishing Trip!! Once on-site we were told to make ourselves at home, that we could borrow a vehicle anytime we wanted and that if we had any questions or wanted any info to just holler and they would help us. What I loved most about this is I got to watch them LIVE this over the next week. They do no just say this for marketing purposes. Ownership and Staff were genuine and kind and accommodating in every way. I highly recommend Fireweed Lodge for anyone headed to Alaska for an Adventure! Thank you Chase & Josh for making this trip one for the memory books read more

I cannot say enough about how great this experience was. Chase and Josh have this program completely dialed every step of the way. It was my first time at Fireweed Lodge, but immediately felt like I was staying with long-time family friends. It's abundantly clear that they, and the entire staff, are genuine, good-hearted, salt-of-the-earth folks who want you to have a great time (and get on a lot of fish). I was on Adam's boat all 3 days I was there and couldn't have been happier. Adam knows his stuff and continually made game-time decisions that paid off (also, as an added bonus, he's hilarious which comes in handy when the bite slows down from time to time). Summed up, everything you could possibly ask for in a Captain. Limits of Coho and Halibut every day with some healthy Kings on a couple of days (which is not guaranteed in late August, when we went). Came home with about 75 lbs of meat for each person! I'll be booking a trip at Fireweed again, no question about that. The only thing I'll do differently is buy a bigger freezer before I go. Highly recommend. read more

Fireweed Lodge is absolutely amazing in every way imaginable. Fishing was absolutely amazing, limits of Salmon, Bass, and Halibut! Our fishing guide "Adam" was fun, energetic, knowledgeable and was 100% committed to catching fish! Rooms were clean, well maintained and very comfortable beds. Literally everything about Fireweed Lodge was outstanding. Food was and service was 5-Star! Family owned, Josh & Chase were superlative hosts, treated as friends not "customers". One of my best vacations and fishing experiences ever. Enjoyed it so much, my group has already reserved a fishing date for next year! Special thanks to Josh, Chase and ALL STAFF at Fireweed for your professionalism and helping us have a great time! Respectfully, Tom read more

Wow! What a week, so we recently stayed 8 days at Fireweed lodge in Klawock AK, and great googly moogly! These folks know how to make sure you have a great time. Best staff of any lodge I've ever stayed at. The kindness in conjunction with their deep knowledge of how to treat a guest is unparalleled. Thank you Bob, Jeannie, Chace, Joe and the rest of the gang, also thank you for setting us up with Our fly fishing guide Tyler, great guy. Can't thank you all enough. read more

The only reason I didn't rate Fireweed Lodge any higher is because there are only five stars! This was my second trip to Fireweed (see the review posted by my brother Mitch in 2017), and it lived up to my first experience and then some! The newly remodeled rooms are top notch and super comfy, the food is high end restaurant quality, and the entire staff that run the lodge and captain the boats are super friendly and accommodating. The lodge is a short boat ride to spectacular fishing grounds where you'll hook up with an amazing variety of fish while gazing at countless whales. When you hook that monster King hang on and be ready for an epic battle! Many thanks to Bob, Jeanne, Chace, Josh and their wonderful family of staff for such a memorable vacation! We will definitely be back! read more

State of the Art fishing resort. Chace and Josh are the owners and they could not have been nicer or more accommodating. I brought a group of 12 fishermen there this past August. The food, fishing and accommodations were first class. It made for such an enjoyable time. We're making it our go to place. read more

This was my second Alaskan fishing lodge experience and it was fantastic. The lodge infrastructure itself was great - we stayed in a brand new room that blended perfectly with the rustic (yet quality) feeling of the rest of the lodge. The meals were incredible - they offer a meat option and a fish option each night (and I'm sure they are flexible for dietary restrictions beyond that - we didn't need it). I had the fish option each night and it was always quality. But the meals also included a fresh salad (and I emphasize fresh - it was impressive), crab legs or halibut dip each meal (both great), a soup option and a choice of 6 or 7 desserts. The breakfasts (which started at 4:30 am) were made to order - I'm a pretty boring guy and got bacon and hashbrowns each morning, which were restaurant quality good. They also had specials each morning (pancakes, etc) and breakfast burritos, but as mentioned, I"m boring. The lunch bar had good bread and quality deli meats with plenty of cookies. Perfect for a brown bag lunch on the water. The fishing was top notch; unlike many folks, my father and I had a top priority of halibut. Literally the first day fishing (about an hour and twenty from the lodge - an extra 30 minutes from the salmon fishing,) within two minutes of getting our jigs to the floor, my dad and I had a double on. Well, he got a nice halibut and I pulled in a shark. For the four days of fishing we caught perhaps 30 halibut between the two of us? All in a combined four, maybe five TOTAL hours of a fishing (not per day.) We could have caught as many as we wanted. Ultimately, they were on the smaller side, but it was incredible fishing. We got our lingcod limit (one per year) within 15 minutes, and got our black bass (rock fish) limit every day (5/person), normally in 20 minutes. Salmon fishing was said to be slow, but it seemed okay to me. We didn't boat our limit of coho, but if my dad and I were better fisherman, we'd have hit our limit in four hours (6/person). One day was quite slow (four combined coho and a few pink), but again, that was driven partially from our decision to go bottom fish first. The two of us were assigned to one boat - same guide all week. That was another positive to Fireweed - a guided trip doesn't involve your party of two being jammed with four other people, where you fish six per boat (and be too tight.) Having two on a boat (or just your party size) and being able to help dictate where you wanted to fish (and what for) was valuable for us. The guide really knew the area as well - he got us onto the fish immediately. As a summary, the lodge was great and the fishing results were fantastic. We will come back. The only drawback is fishing was an hour away for silvers and another 30 for halibut/king/lingcod. The boat rides back were a bit rough, but we probably could have told the guide to slow it down a bit. That said, do not let the end of this review dictate your choice on a lodge. Everything is great - just know that the prime fishing round (at least when we were there) is 45-60 minutes away (with 10 of those being in a calm, no wake zone.) Fireweed Lodge is fantastic and worth the slightly higher price. read more

This place is amazing! Great fishing! Great hosts and accommodations in one of Alaska's last unspoiled areas. I've been all over Alaska and this is my #1 go to for top quality and value. read more

I was lucky enough to win a trip here a couple summers to go. It was by far the best lodge I have ever been too. The quality of staff, meals, fishing, and surroundings is unmatched. I've been to a few places as someone who used to review fishing equipment and lodges. I would go back in a heartbeat. Oh yeah, unlimited crab legs before dinner is served sure helped too. ;) read more

I have been to Fireweed for the last 3 summers with my family, it is amazing! The staff makes you feel so at home. The guides are pro...they take you to the best spots to land the big one! Can't wait to go back this summer! read more

Can't say enough amazing things about our recent experience at Fireweed Lodge. Warm, friendly staff, delicious hearty meals, knowledgable fishing guides, great boats and equipment, comfortable clean accommodations. We had Josh Z as our fishing guide and he was super friendly and chill. Highly recommend him if you have a choice, although I'm sure all of Fireweed's guides are amazing. My 86 year old Dad came along, along with my bro and nephew, and we all had a blast! We caught kings, silvers, halibut and an assortment of rockfish. And even when the fish weren't biting, there was never a dull moment with all the amazing scenery, bald eagles, black bears, whales, sea otters and other wildlife on display every where you turn. And there's nothing like returning to a warm, friendly lodge after a long day on the water. Special shout-out to the Andersons - Bob and Jeanne plus Josh and Chase - for making this trip a memory that will last a lifetime. Can't wait to return :) read more

My experience exceeded my expectations. Food and service as good as it gets anywhere. Josh and Kyle, our guides were knowledgeable and fun to be with. The rooms are nice and clean, rain gear is professional with a good range of sizes. Hot tub was sorely needed each afternoon! Cannot be disappointed fishing as you go to so many different spots and are connected with all the guides trying to find the Kings on the water. Owners are good people to be with and are having their best year. Once you experience the place you will see why they are so successful. I would hate to compete against this lodge. It would be expensive! read more
