Lake Eva Cabin

Would have been nice to have dock up. i have some health issues. Motor would have been nice or information on where to rent one New ore was too small and broke the old one was shorter. But had a good time.

The boat is on life support. Cabin in good shape. Had a bear harvest several pinks in the little stream just east of the cabin. Never saw the bear. Thousands of pinks in the lake and inlet and outlet streams. Best fishing for dollies and cut throat was at the “Lagoon” before the tide rushes in.

Very nice cabin. Tree took out the outhouse and oil stove leaks. I have been assured both will be repaired ASAP. Good fishing at inlet, outlet, down along outlet stream, and in the lagoon. Several close encounters with bears, including around cabin, so be prepared. Lots of bald eagles, beavers, deer, river otters, and loons. Boat in very good condition with new oars. Cabin spotless when I arrived and same when I left. My 22nd trip to Tongass cabins, 5th to Lake Eva. Harbor Air is the air taxi to charter. Be sure to rent their outboard, which makes cruising much easier. I will be back.

2nd trip this year, 6th in past 30 years. Outhouse still defunct, older outhouse in bushes is serviceable. Sockeye spawning at inlet, pinks spawning and dying in outlet, no silvers in yet. Bears around cabin, at inlet, and down at estuary. Beautiful area. Both trips this year were solo, age 78. I finally have learned to appreciate solitude and peace, particularly considering the political turmoil back in The World . Some cell coverage at cabin [T-Mobile] but no internet, even down at saltwater this time. Cabin in perfect condition when I arrived, same when I left. Flew in via Harbor Air, very reliable and professional.
