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.

Ketchikan fishing 2020
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. Lingcod will also be high on the list of target species this year. King salmon and halibut are first on the hit list! I can’t wait to get out there!
May 2018
May is a special month in Ketchikan Alaska , hunting for giant king salmon is always fun. This May was pretty good king (chinook) salmon fishing and even better halibut fishing. Seeking out a big king in May can take some time but you’re looking for a trophy Salmon not nessisarily to catch 20 in a morning and fill a fish box. This is why I love it.
