Ketchikan Fishing Reports



June 2018

Date: March 13, 2019

Man do I love June! This month did not disappoint we landed a lot of kings and a lot of halibut! June is the month for chasing trophy class king Salmon. They come in through the inner channels of Southeast Alaska on their way to their spawning rivers. This is when they are the biggest. They’ve been out in the ocean for 4-7 years feeding on herring krill and squid. If you’re looking for trophy chinook Salmon or just your first king salmon June is your month. The halibut fishing around Ketchikan is really good in June they tend to come in with the kings and migrate to their summer ranges. Wether you’re coming to ketchikan on a cruise ship or coming up for multiple full days of fishing we have a trip for you!
