When you book with Anglers Adventures & Outfitters, you’re signing up for an unforgettable adventure in Ketchikan—known as the Salmon Capital of the World. With Captain Brian’s 31 years of experience guiding on the F/V Sierra Dawn out of Knudson Cove, this fully licensed, family operated charter service offers top notch gear, rain protection, snacks, and a heated cabin with private bathroom.
Top 5 Fish Species You’ll Enjoy Targeting
#5 Ling Cod
A bold and aggressive bottom-dweller, Ling Cod lurks around rocky reefs. With firm, white flesh and a mild taste, they’re fun fighters—reeling one up from 300+ feet occasionally! Catching Ling Cod is an exciting bonus on charters targeting rockfish and other bottom-feeders.
#4 Coho (Silver) Salmon
Shiny, energetic, and perfect for the plate, Coho Salmon bring a lively battle. Known for their bold flavor and sleek appearance, these silvers run through Ketchikan waters from July through November. Anglers aboard Sierra Dawn love their aggressive strikes and stunning flash as they fight.
#3 Halibut
Halibut fishing in Ketchikan is legendary—and rightfully so! These flatfish can reach impressive weights and deliver powerful tugs from the deep. Anglers Adventures include halibut on full-day and multi-day trips, using bottom rigs and local know-how to locate trophy-sized fish.
#2 Black & Grey Cod (Pacific Cod)
Known locally as “butterfish” for their rich, oily taste, black and grey cod are a family favorite. Found in deep waters (50–600 ft), they provide steady action on bottom rigs, and they’ll keep you reeling and smiling.
#1 King (Chinook) Salmon
The crown jewel of any Alaska fishing trip, King Salmon live up to their reputation. These hard-charging giants—sometimes over 20–40 lbs—are prized for their size, flavor, and the adrenaline-packed fight. Anglers Adventures targets kings especially in May, June, and July—book now for your chance at a 48 lb trophy, just like one recent guest who landed a 48.7 lb beast.
