Sportfishing
Five species of salmon migrate
from the open ocean, around
Prince of Wales Island and into
protected waters near Ketchikan.
Lakes and streams stocked with
trout appeal to freshwater enthusiasts.
Each year, thousands of
anglers – locals and visitors alike –
head to the water for some of
the best sportfishing in the state.
Options for creating your fishing
adventure abound, from full-service
lodges and resorts, to day charters, to
boat and gear rentals for the do-ityourself
fisher. Local floatplane
operators transport you to lakes,
and professional guides offer expert
advice to make the most of your trip.

and rock cod. Shrimp and crab are

Varden, grayling, rainbow and
