Kayak Fishing the Inside Passage-

As seen on Discovery Channel & National Geographic Channel

Fishing License - Tour Rates

Kayak Fishing is one of the fastest growing sports in the country, and Alaska is where it all began. We're proud to offer this exciting alternative to the power boat trolling. We are Alaska's original kayak fishing tour operation, and though the imitators have arrived, our kayak fishing tour is still unmatched. Whether you're an experienced kayak angler, or trying kayak fishing for the first time, join us for an exciting day you won't forget. All equipment, personal guide, and transportation is provided.

Ketchikan coho kayakingAfter picking you up from your cruise ship or hotel, we'll leave the crowds behind and head north of town about 15 miles. Our facility is located in Knudson Cove Marina, and after donning rain gear and a short safety lesson, you'll board your kayak and paddle a short distance to a group of several uninhabited rainforest islands. We'll paddle and fish around these islands, as well as view an eagle's nest up close. There are great amounts of bald eagles and other wildlife that you can see. The Tongass National Forest, the largest National Forest in the U.S., surrounds all the fishing area.

Ketchikan kayak fishingThe kayak fishing you'll do is very hands on. You won't stare blankly at a rod sitting in a rod holder like the power boaters do. You won't smell fumes or fight for elbow room. You won't take turns with a fishing rod. You'll find kayak fishing a far more exciting approach. You'll be as close to the action as you can be. We're fortunate in Ketchikan to have such great fishing right next to shore. As soon as you're on the water you're on the fish. This makes kayak fishing a perfect fit. The trips are not overly strenuous, and focus on enjoying whats around you to the fullest.

Our guides are professional kayak anglers, and they'll show you the techniques that will get your rod bent, and heart racing, as you fish for a variety of species including salmon, flounder, rockfish, and halibut.

The Details -

We only use extremely stable sit-on-top kayaks, which are very easy to get in and out of. Only single kayaks are used. There is no minimum age limit, but you must be capable of paddling your own kayak. This is generally age 12 and up. We don't run tours with large groups, and you will not be picked up in a bus and herded like cattle. Its good to have some experience with fishing or kayaking for this tour.
