Fishing season in Ketchikan is right around the corner! I only have one three day slot left for prime time king salmon fishing. There’s still slots available for peak summer silvers and fall cohos. The halibut fishing in Ketchikan should be awesome especially with the new size limits. Pacific cod and lingcod jigging is looking very promising also! See you in Ketchikan Alaska for the 2021 fishing season!

Fishing in Ketchikan in May.
The 2020 fishing season in Ketchikan is about to kick off! We have a few open slots left for the 2020 season but it’s getting slim. May is an incredible month for fishing. The halibut start moving in and the king salmon start moving into the inside passage headed toward their spawning grounds. This can be a great time to chase trophy king salmon. A Chinook over 30 pounds is often referred to as a “tyee” it is not uncommon to find one of these special fish in the month of May and June and even into the beginning of July. Give us a call to book your 2020 fishing excursion in Ketchikan. We will customize a trip for you and give the best Alaskan fishing experience you can find.

We are only a few months away from the start of another great fishing season here in Ketchikan. Overall the salmon forecast is looking steady and halibut should fallow suit.

September 2019 Ketchikan fishing report
Wow! These fall coho are huge!! We’ve caught a lot of fish ranging from 10 to 20 pounds on the upper end. September coho (silver salmon) are my personal second favorite to fish. They are hard fighting acrobatic fish. The halibut fishing in Ketchikan is still very strong this September. I’m fishing all the way through September and anticipate good fishing all the way through.
