So, we'll be getting off a cruise ship in Ketchikan the first week of June and thinking about staying a couple days to fish. Any recommendations on guides and the like?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

About a year and a half ago I set up a guide in Ketchikan. I was there just for the day as a port of call on an Alaksan cruise. I was going solo and it was in July so the Salmon run was not taking place yet (I want to go back when it is). I used a recommendation from Trent Jones and called Hookedup guide to arrange a guide.  My guide took me out and we went after bows and cutthroat outside of the town. I had a really positive experience with them and know they have other services like fly out fishing if you're interested. http://hookupflyshop.com/

If you are flying into/out of anchorage there are a ton of options within a quick drive that should not require a guide and make a great day trip. I'd call Mossy's Fly shop or Mountain View Sports for more info.

Thanks Will. Reached out to them and got things moving.   Will post a followup after the trip.

Thanks,

Never been there, but you could stock up on Ray Troll shirts at his Soho Coho Art Gallery while in Ketchikan. https://store.trollart.com/home.php ☺
