Baranof Fishing Charters LLC has applied for a state permit to operate a fish camp on 0.64 acres of state land at Boat House Cove, about 10 miles southeast of Ketchikan on Revillagigedo Island.

The Alaska Department of Natural Resources is accepting public comments on the proposal through April 28, 2026. If approved, the five-year permit would allow the company to build eight fire rings, two seasonal tarps, a year-round storage building, an elevated deck, prep tables, bear-proof food storage, and a portable outhouse.

The fish camp would also include up to 12 propane tanks weighing 20 pounds each. The company wants to use the site from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2031.

The state's Division of Mining, Land and Water will review the application and may issue the permit with conditions. The agency could also modify the proposal during its review.

Written comments must reach the Southeast Regional Land Office by 5 p.m. on April 28. Send comments to 400 Willoughby Avenue, Juneau, AK 99811-1020, or email [email protected].

Questions about the application should go to Muriel Walatka at 907-465-3937. The full application is available through the state's online public notice system.
