Explore Alaska Charters

Freshwater fishing is not always the focus in Ketchikan and throughout the Southeastern portion of Alaska. Mostly, the focus is on saltwater fishing for Salmon and Halibut. However, there are plenty of beautiful places to experience freshwater fishing here, and one of those places is Misty Fjords.

Explore Alaska Charters offers a fly-out adventure to Misty Fjords National Monument. These fly-out fishing trips are ideal for both those who love fly fishing and those who prefer a spin caster rod. There are many lakes and rivers in the Monument. The focus is to allow you to fish on rivers and lakes that have no other fishermen on them. This is not always possible mostly due to weather. The attraction is that so few people even venture into this area to fish that the lakes remain wild and unspoiled. What that means for guests is wild fish and plenty of big Trophy Trout and Salmon.

Saltwater charters are available in four- and six-hour blocks with an option for a full day charter that targets both Salmon and Halibut. The focus here is always that you find the best fishing spots possible and that's challenging because the fish move constantly. That is a big plus with Explore Alaska Charters as their expertise is helping to guide you to the spots where you can enjoy big fish and plenty of them.

The Southeastern part of Alaska and specifically the waters around Ketchikan are fish rich. What this means is that there are big Barn Door Halibut and plenty of Chicken Halibut too. A Chicken is a Halibut that is less than 100 pounds. There are all five species of Pacific Salomon here too. You can fish for King Salmon, Silver Salmon, Pink Salmon, and Chum Salmon. You also have access to big Rockfish like 3-5 foot King Cod, and then there is crab fishing too.

Overall, you should expect plenty of options for your fishing adventure.
