Discover Alaskan Fish Species
Salmon
Ketchikan, Alaska is the "Salmon Capital of the World" because we have runs of King, Coho, Sockeye, Pink, and Keta every year. While belonging to the same genus, each species is markedly different than the other. Whether you're looking for a trophy King, an afternoon fighting Coho, or trying to fill up your freezer with Pinks, Ketchikan is one of Alaska's best sportfishing destinations.
