Kain’s Fishing Adventures - Sitka

Sitka, Alaska is only a 2-hour direct flight from Seattle. Sitka is the only town in Southeast Alaska that faces the Gulf of Alaska head-on. Sitka is on the migratory route of almost every run of Chinook and silver salmon returning to British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon. No other place on the West Coast plays host to salmon in such continuous abundance.

fishing with Kain’s Fishing Adventures

King Salmon:  Kain's fishing season begins in early May with the mighty king salmon. Peak king salmon fishing is mid-May through mid-July. Kings are the largest of the five species of salmon with an average weight of 12 to 30 pounds.
Silver (Coho) salmon:  From mid-July through mid-September, huge schools of acrobatic silvers move into Sitka waters. Silvers average 6-to 20-pounds and provide fast-and-furious action.
Halibut:  The halibut fishing in Sitka is consistently outstanding. Halibut ranging from 15-to 300-pounds are abundant all season. 
Sitka doesn't have to contend with strong tidal currents meaning you can fish for halibut any time of the day. These conditions allow anglers the opportunity to fish for multiple species each day. It's quite common to catch halibut, salmon and other bottomfish all in the same day.
