Your Catch.
Every fishing trip at Harrison's Cove Fishing Lodge comes with complimentary professional care for your catch......all you need to do is fish!
Once you return to the dock, your fish will be cleaned and refrigerated during the remainder of your stay with us. When you are ready to go home, we can provide Styrofoam fish boxes and gel packs to help transport your catch home. If you are driving, we recommend that you bring a cooer to transport your catch. We can also arrange for your catch to be shipped directly to your home.
If you would like to have your Salmon canned or smoked, we can arrange for your fish to be transported to St. Jean's Cannery at a minimal cost. St. Jean's offers a wide variety of processing options and will forward your fish directly to you once it is ready.
