Our Story 

LONG AGO ON THE EDGE OF A REMOTE ALASKAN RIVER, WALTER SHERWOOD COME UPON A FISH CAMP CALLED POACHERS COVE. A PLACE WITH A UNIQUE PERSONALITY AND CHARM THAT YOU WOULD NEVER FORGET. FOR IT IS THAT REASON, WHY WALTER COULDN'T HELP BUT STAY A LITTLE LONGER. HE FOUND A HOME IN THE FISH CAMP ACROSS THE STREET FROM RW'S TACKLE SHOP, NEAR HIS FRIEND BERNIE AND PERCH, AND JUST DOWN THE WAY FROM SMITTY'S SALMON SAFARI. SO THE STORY BEGAN. WHETHER HE WAS FISHING WITH FRIENDS ON THE KENAI, OR DRINKING COFFEE ON HIS PORCH AND TALKING TO THE TRAVELERS THAT PASSED BY, WALTER MADE IT A POINT TO BE CHEERFUL, WELCOMING, AND CHARITABLE. AS THE YEARS COME AND GONE, AND THE FISHING TALES AND FOND MEMORIES GREW, WALTER BECAME KNOWN AS JOLLY WALLY.

IN HIS HONOR, WE WALTER'S GRANDSONS STARTED A FAMILY BUSINESS IN 2016 LOCATED IN POACHERS COVE. WE OFFER QUALITY FISH PROCESSING SERVICES AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE, AND CAN BOOK YOU A CHARTER WITH ONE OF THE BEST CAPTAINS ON THE KENAI. THOUGH, OUR CORE PURPOSE IS MUCH MORE THAN THAT- IT IS A MISSION TO SHARE A PIECE OF THE ALASKAN EXPERIENCE IN THE SPIRIT OF JOLLY WALLY. PLEASE STOP BY IF YOU NEED A CHARTER OR SOME SALMON PROCESSED, AND REMEMBER FISH STORIES ARE ALWAYS WELCOME; HOWEVER, WE DO CHARGE FOR FISHING ADVICE.
