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.

August 2019 Ketchikan fishing report
We couldn’t have asked for more consistent salmon and halibut fishing this August. The pink return was huge and steady the summer silvers started disappearing right as the fall run was starting so there was about a week lull on the silvers but the halibut stayed consistent and we had phenomenal weather to boot. It’s looking like the fall silver run is going to be really good as the cohos are huge!

July 2018
July 2018 was pretty dang good for Salmon and all bottom fish in Ketchikan Alaska. There was a great abundance of pacific cod, ling cod, rock fish and halibut. King Salmon, pink Salmon and chum Salmon were the stars this July. The silvers were around but it was a grind to find a big school of them. My favorite to chase in July is chum Salmon hands down. They are the second largest Salmon and are a very very hard fighting fish. And boy were there a lot of them in July the last few years. We landed 10 that made the Alaska trophy class (over 15 pounds). With 3 over 20 pounds. I’m anticipating another big year on chum Salmon, pink Salmon, silver Salmon, and king Salmon. The abundance index and the projected returns look really really good.
June 2018
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!
