Juneau Fishing

unLiked
Removed from Unnamed collection

Don't be surprised if you spot a local calendar that skips over birthdays and anniversaries, focusing instead on tidal schedules and salmon migrations. That's how much fishing matters here. With the Pacific halibut and five types of Pacific salmon, it's a wonder anyone gets any work done at all.

If casting a line in Juneau is on your bucket list, you're in luck. Plenty of seasoned Alaskans run Coast Guard-licensed charter fishing boats. These full- and half-day charters are intimate, carrying no more than six people, ensuring plenty of rod time for everyone. For those who prefer fly fishing, local companies offer guided trips. You can choose to fish from a skiff, along the shore, or even take a float plane to a secluded river or lake. Feeling adventurous? Rent a skiff or charter a vessel to create your very own fishing escapade.

While you're in Juneau, don't miss out on the chance to explore the Mendenhall Glacier or take a scenic tram ride up Mount Roberts. These experiences offer breathtaking views and a deeper appreciation of Alaska's rugged beauty. So grab your gear and get ready for an unforgettable experience in this angler's paradise.
