Sportfishing Salmon Capital of the World Huge runs of salmon migrate from the open ocean around Prince of Wales Island, and into our protected waters. It was for this reason that Ketchikan Creek was selected by Tlingit natives for their summer fish camp, and commercial fishing interests established our town in 1900. The abundance of fish and the construction of major salmon canneries is why Ketchikan was known as the “Salmon Capital of the World.” Sportsfishing enthusiasts will find a bounty in our waters, including king (chinook), silver (coho), red (sockeye), pink (humpy), and chum (dog) salmon. Halibut, red snapper, ling cod and rock cod is also available as are several species of shrimp and crab. Numerous wilderness lakes and streams provide steelhead, Dolly Varden, grayling, rainbow and cutthroat trout. First-class lodges and resorts will pamper you and handle all aspects of your fishing adventure. Charter operators will guide you to the hot spots for half-, full- or multi-day fishing trips. Hotels and most B&Bs offer booking services. Most lodges offer pick up and transfers from the Ketchikan International Airport via car, boat or float plane. Guided charters will advise where to meet the boat. Remote wilderness areas are reached by float plane, boat or hiking trail. Whatever your preference, Ketchikan has a fishing experience that will appeal to your style and budget.
