spidybabe Posted June 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Has anybody been to the Salmon ladder in Ketchikan, and when is the best time of day to go? Seems like it will be a cool thing to see. Any other suggestions for things to see? We know there are totem poles to see in the area. Thanks for any info Safe sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aegis1984 Posted June 30, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 30, 2016 The salmon won't be running with any number until August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEtue Posted June 30, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Looks like the OP is sailing in August so there should be salmon visible at that time. Here is a site with more info and you can ask for directions once you arrive. Enjoy! http://www.alaska.org/detail/ketchikan-creek-falls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted June 30, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 30, 2016 If you get to spend any time in Seward, there is a little park with a creek running through it that we saw a lot of Salmon running during August. They tasted good after our Salmon fishing trip also. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidybabe Posted July 1, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted July 1, 2016 What excursion is that? If you mean the salmon ladder, that is not an excursion. It is a few blocks away from the dock. Safe sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted July 3, 2016 #9 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Thanks for the info. Sorry I forgot to mention when we are sailing. You are correct, we are sailing in the beginning of August Safe sailing It's an easy walk, all you have to do, is take a look and see if there is any salmon in the Creek, from Creek St. IF there is, then continue up to the ladder. There won't be any salmon at the ladder unless it's in the creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the last day of July and they were easy to spot, although I don't think this would count as heavy numbers.All the best, Tony [YOUTUBE]Yq9hXgdj_J8[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
