When thinking about fishing around Ketchikan, the Pacific
halibut is just as significant as the salmon in terms of its food value and
importance to native Alaskans. This flat fish actually swims sideways on the
bottom of the sea floor and is certainly much larger than most salmons. Many
visitors to Alaska actually prefer coming during peak Halibut season (early
summer).
Whether it’s a native Alaskan village, a fishing guide in
Ketchikan, or a general recreational angler, most agree that live baits are the
best option for attracting and catching healthy-sized Halibut.
