The weather all week had been picture perfect for Ketchikan and Prince of Wales Island. Some 70 guests winged their way along the famous Inside Passage and across Prince of Wales Island via floatplane taking in the majestic snow-capped peaks and placid lakes.

Waterfall Jackpot Winners

June 7: 6:30am — The guests touched down at Waterfall. All proceeded to the General Store for check-in and boat assignment, then down to the awaiting guides and boats. Today is the first day of the 6th annual King Salmon Jackpot Challenge.

The Challenge is planned as a fun, no entry-fee fishing tournament that helps the 90 employees kick off the season. To enhance the fun, Waterfall has an optional daily cash jackpot so the guests can “up the ante” among themselves over the 3 tournament days.

As part of the no entry-fee Challenge, Waterfall has a special $100,000 Bonus Award for the guest who can land the largest king salmon each day of the three-day Challenge. Somewhat like hitting a hole-in-one! Waterfall goes one step further.  If the guest lands the largest king salmon 2 of the 3 days of the Challenge, the bonus is $20,000. Only one of the two Bonus Awards will be given.

2010 King Salmon Jackpot Challenge

Waterfall will host the 7th annual King Salmon Jackpot Challenge next June 6 - 9, 2010. First rights to boats are given to those who competed in 2009. However, if you want to get in on this fun tournament, you can wait list your group (4 to a boat) with Mike Dooley, Reservations Manager, 800-544-5125. We will open boats up by September 30, 2009
