Is there any way you can delay your trip for the last week of July into the first week of August?? If you are looking to make this the bucket list trip to Alaska you will be much better off to wait for the silver salmon to start showing up at that time. Chinook are starting to slow down by the end of June and you're too early for the rest of the salmon in the time period you have listed.
Just my $0.02 having guided up there for 5 years in a former life that is my recommendation.
If you are looking to ocean fish and do it on your own I would recommend Doc Warner's up by Juneau if you can wait until the end of July.
Or you could look into Whale Cove down on Prince of Wales Island. The plus to POW is that there are rivers and road access all over the place so you can ocean fish or river fish.
Additionally I would highly recommend Silver King Lodge down by Ketchikan. Or the same group also runs Clover Pass Resort and that is right in Ketchikan. They have self guided opportunities and the kings will still be around the area at the end of June.
Best of luck.
