Sitka Fishing Charters
A special breed of angler flocks to this nook of the world, where fishing lore is born. Sitka Point fishing charters give rise to legendary tales of hour-long
fights, reel-spooling runs, and an angry King Salmon majestically
soaring above the water to shake off a lure.
Sitka is home to world class Alaskan salmon and halibut
fishing. The wildlife that abounds in and around Sitka
is abundant. We could only begin to tell you about
the bald eagles, otters, bears and marine life; you
have to visit to see for yourself.
2011 Salmon Fishing Outlook
Average returns of King and Silver Salmon. The halibut
stocks are in great shape. The lingcod and rockfish populations
are healthy, too.
