Ketchikan

The fishing and culture of Ketchikan will make your Alaska vacation at one of the lodges of Alaska Sportfishing Expeditions an exciting one

If you have dreamed of experiencing salmon or halibut fishing in Alaska, then dream no longer. Instead, book a fishing adventure at one of Alaska Sportfishing Expeditions’ three lodges near Ketchikan. Located at the southern end of Alaska’s Inside Passages, Ketchikan’s surrounding waters provide excellent chances for landing an incredible catch since vast schools of migrating salmon, as well as halibut, cod, red snapper, sea bass and other bottom fish funnel through the area. In addition to the excellent fishing, you will love the area’s scenery – dotted with inlets, small bays and islands.

It does not matter if you seek salmon or another species of fish while on your angling adventure near Ketchikan. No matter your time constraints or budget, the lodges of Alaska Sportfishing Expeditions offer fishing packages ranging from two days and three nights to five days and six nights. On our guided excursions, which are our most popular, you will be under the tutelage of experienced charter boat captains that will do all in their power to land you an excellent catch. We offer both guided saltwater and freshwater trips, as well as self-guided saltwater excursions that make you the captain of your own charter fishing boat.

When visiting the Ketchikan area, fishing is not the only recreation in which you will want to engage. You can also enjoy hiking along the miles of trails surrounding the community as well as canoeing and kayaking near the town. Exploring the town’s historical attractions, including large displays of totem poles and the Tongass Historical Museum, and art galleries is also rewarding.
