When choosing where to go on your Alaskan vacation, pick Ketchikan. Only a 90-minute flight from Seattle, Washington, Ketchikan lies on the southern end of Alaska’s panhandle. The state’s fourth most populous city, Ketchikan sits on the western shore of Revillagigedo Island, built on a steep hillside and on pilings over the water. Surrounded by stunning natural beauty, the town boasts the largest collection of totem poles in the world as well as numerous art galleries and historical attractions, including the Dolly’s House Museum, Totem Bight State Historic Park, and the Tongass Historical Museum.

Ketchikan has gained the reputation as the “Salmon Capital of the World” since its surrounding plankton-filled waters are full of many species of salmon during the summer months, including king, silver and pink salmon. If your Alaskan vacation itinerary will include fishing, Ketchikan is the ideal city to visit and Silverking Lodge is the perfect place to stay. Not only will we provide you with rustic accommodations, we will also provide you with the gear you need for a successful self-guided Alaskan salmon fishing adventure.
Silverking’s main goal is to provide you with the very best fishing excursion you could hope for on your Alaskan vacation. We provide each fishing group with a 14-foot boat with a 15-horsepower outboard motor as well as bait and a Penn 209 level wind reel on a 6’6” combination rod. During your fishing adventure, you will also enjoy the pristine beauty of your surroundings and glimpses of many varieties of marine life. When you return to the Silverking’s docks, our experienced staff is happy to prepare your catch for the flight home by filleting it, vacuum packing it and freezing it. No matter if you are fishing or just sightseeing, the Silverking is an excellent place for your lodging while vacationing in “The Last Frontier.”
