Fishing Forum

I wanted to thank all of you for your advice and assistance with my Ketchikan trip. I had an amazing time. I brought home 40lbs of salmon and unfortunately only 5 lbs of halibut. I sure learned a lot while I was there though and seen some amazing sights. If anyone is going soon I could give you some extremely good pointers. I have never seen rivers that full of fish in my life. I didn’t know places like that still exist. I’ll try and post some pics. Oh one other bit of interesting info, while I was there they tied one of the wettest rainfall days on record at almost 5 inches of rain in one day. It was like standing in a waterfall.

Great pics looks like a good trip, crazy place when the cruise ships come in each day

Great catch! Looks fun! The greatest problem would be leaving so soon!

I want to fish and travel Alaska, but not as a tourist. I'd like to visit / live there perhaps a year or more by having my own sailboat and fish to eat fish.

There are 47,300 miles of estimated tidal shoreline, including islands, inlets sounds and bays, so it would take some time to have fun with that.

I'm wondering if regulations and limits allow me to catch fish to eat year round? Would it be a red tape nightmare?
