This was our first time staying in Whale Pass even if I'd taken 5-6 day trips to fish there before. Don't know too many locals- hopefully the meth problem is decreasing as it has been in the rest of the country. I purchased land in Coffman Cove and know quite a few locals. Coffman Cove seems more of a town and community. It has a school, library, restaurant, bar and store by it's waterfront. A lot of interaction of families, individuals and well as visitors in that area. Whale Pass is just a collection of a few dozen people living in the same vicinity and there doesn't seem to be a lot of interaction or sense of community to me. Don't think there are very many children living there. Coffman Cove doesn't seem to have a big drug issue but a few do drink their share for sure. I can't imagine raising kids in Whale Pass but think it's certainly doable in Coffman Cove
Doggone we have had locals (last trip it was a teenage son of a guide) sometimes process and vacuum seal our fish. This trip we did it all ourself. Klawock does have a place that will vacuum seal or smoke your fish. I think Wildfish Co. is the one that does it. Never used them but other fishermen tell use they do a really good job.
Here's a few pics of/from the property.
