Ketchikan, Alaska Fishing Report July Update: Slow Start, but Salmon are Quickly Moving In The fishing season in Ketchikan, Alaska, kicked off with a slow start this July, but things are rapidly picking up as the salmon make their way into our waters. Early in the month, anglers experienced sporadic bites and fewer catches, a typical lull that tested our patience. However, as the days progressed, we began to see a significant increase in activity. Schools of Pink Salmon, Coho, and Chum Salmon are now migrating in greater numbers, revitalizing the fishing grounds and boosting both morale and success rates among fishermen.

What anglers said about fishing in Ketchikan Boat Harbor

Ketchikan is a great place to fish. There’s a lot of conflicting information on line as to when the best time of year is to go. Best time for King Salmon is June. August was still pretty good fishing, but all the Kings we caught had to go back, too small. The Coho were nice sized.

I know that the haul is usually much greater than we experienced but that's ok. That's how fishing goes. We appreciate that they tried by changing locations and rigs several times.
