Sportfishing
In a State where fishing is legendary, Sitka is simply an angler’s paradise. The halibut frequently weigh over 100 pounds and the salmon are among the biggest in the world. Fishing charters allow visitors to take advantage of these waters that boast the highest King Salmon salt water catch rate in Southeast Alaska. (catch rate is the length of time it takes to hook a fish). While the deep-sea lure of saltwater fishing is irresistible, fresh water stream and lake fishing are also a popular past-time. Local processors can smoke or seal your catch, readying it for your return home. Whether rod and reel or flyfishing, Sitka is a fishers dream for all ages!
