FAQs
Do I need a fishing license?
Yes. Anyone age 16 or older will need an Alaska state fishing license, which you can purchase online or in-person when you arrive. We recommend doing this ahead of time. We’re happy to guide you through the process.
What happens if it rains?
We fish rain or shine! Ketchikan is in a temperate rainforest, so a little weather is part of the adventure. We have options for boats that are covered, and we provide high-quality rain gear.
Is this trip kid-friendly?
Absolutely. We welcome families and love introducing young anglers to the magic of Alaska. Our guides are patient and great with first-time fishers of all ages.
What should I wear or bring?
Layered clothing is key. Bring comfortable shoes, and a warm layer; we recommend wool. We’ll provide all the fishing gear you need.
Can I keep the fish I catch?
Yes! Your guide will help you follow Alaska’s catch regulations.
Can I customize my fishing trip?
Definitely. We offer private charters and flexible excursion options. Our team can help build a trip that matches your interests, whether it’s fishing for salmon, halibut hunting, or combining with sightseeing.
Where do trips depart from?
All fishing excursions leave from our private marina in downtown Ketchikan; just a short walk from the cruise docks and Cape Fox Lodge.
