How do we meet you in Ketchikan?

This depends on where you are staying or if you are arriving on a cruise ship. If you come in by ship we will meet you where your ship docks. If you are staying in town there are a number of options. We will meet at the place most convenient for you.

What should I bring with me?

Everything you will need will be provided. Just bring your camera. We supply all the tackle, bait, refreshments. We have rain gear on board in case it is needed.

What should I wear?

We recommend that you check the weather forecast for the day of your trip and dress accordingly. However, as a general rule, it is recommended that you be prepared for temperatures from 50 degrees to 75 degrees. Normally we dress in layers to deal with the changing conditions. Also, consider your footwear. Do not wear anything that has slippery soles or that will be damaged if they get wet.

How do I get my catch home?

On the boat we have order forms from a high-quality, dependable, local processor. If you wish to ship your fish home you can fill out a processing form on the way back in to the dock. This will allow you to choose how you want your fish processed and when you want it shipped to your home. You pay the processor directly with a credit card.

What are the chances of seeing wildlife?

Very good, but remember our wildlife is really wildlife so there cannot be any guarantee. However, we do regularly see eagles, humpback whales, orca, sea lions, seals, deer, and black bear.

If I am on a cruise is there a risk that I won’t make it back to my cruise ship before it departs?

No. We have the arrival and departure schedules for all of the cruise ships stopping in Ketchikan. We have never missed a departure.

When should I reserve my trip?

Can we bring our children on the trip?

Please do. We love going out with children. Our best trips are with our children and grandchildren. Nothing is better than taking a kid fishing. We always make a special effort to ensure the trip is enjoyable for children.
