I will be going to Ketchikan for a one month rotation and was wondering if you guys have any suggestions on things to do in May. I am a student so I won’t have too much cash to spend, but willing to spend if the experience is worth it.
I have only been to Homer fishing and it was great fun.
A halibut head boat is not expensive and guaranteed to catch all the fish you can pull in.
Hunting, fishing, and poker are my sports. Work when necessary.
lived there for 3 years. There was 52 bars in a city of 9000 people. That help?
Once you’re done drinking, catch steelhead and dolly varden in ketchikan creek, runs right through town. Go climb deer mountain right behind town, about a 12 pack hike.
How you forecast the weather in Ketch:
If you can see Deer Mtn: Its about to rain.
If you cant see Deer Mtn: Its raining.
Stay out of the Marine Bar.
