At Anglers Adventures & Outfitters, we love showing off Ketchikan’s history and bringing our Alaskan culture to life through a great day out on the water. If you are searching for a nostalgic, Alaskan Salmon fishing trip of a lifetime, our crew here has got you covered.
At Anglers Adventures & Outfitters, we are gearing up for prime salmon season. Everyone knows that Alaska is known to be a great place to fish. However, Ketchikan, Alaska, is thought to be the “Salmon Capital of the World.” As the water warms up and the summer sun starts to shine just a bit more, those early summer months are ideal for salmon fishing. If you are interested in a salmon fishing charter, Anglers Adventures & Outfitters has got you covered.

For mountain climbing and hiking enthusiasts, Colorado offers many mountains that rise above 14,000-feet of elevation (these mountains are known as “the fourteeners”). Those mountains are beautiful and challenging, but they can also get more crowded than some hikers prefer. Mountains in the 13,000-foot range (“thirteeners”) tend to be the preference for people who like a hiking challenge on a trail that may be less congested. You might think of the King Salmon like a fourteener—with a well-deserved reputation and considered an icon the Alaska waters. If the King Salmon is a fourteener, the Silver Salmon may be the “thirteener”: not necessarily thought of first, but still well worth the effort and deserving of its stellar reputation.
Of all the many animal species in Alaska, several tend to come to mind first. The grizzly bear, the wolf, caribou, and the moose are probably the most iconic land dwellers in Alaska. Among the water dwellers, it is the salmon that best characterizes the forty-ninth state. And among all the species of salmon, the King salmon (also known as the Chinook salmon) reigns supreme. A case could be made for the King salmon as the most iconic species in all of Alaska, given its tremendous numbers, its culinary appeal, and the fact that fishing for King salmon often puts you in close proximity to the grizzly bear.
