Juneau, Alaska is a beautiful area that offers fishermen some excellent fishing opportunities.  All 5 species of salmon are here as well as monster halibut.  There are king salmon located here year round, but the annual run of kings gets going in late May and runs through June every summer.  The silver salmon get started in July and they peak near the end of August and into the beginning of September.  Chum salmon and sockeye salmon will be in the area in June and July.  The pink salmon will be here from June through August.  The halibut are available from June through September and most charters are able to get their limits for the day early in the day, so they can target bigger fish the rest of the charter trip, but that all depends on the fishing charter that you choose to use during your trip.

Depending on when you plan your trip will depend on what you can catch.  Summer is the right time to be here in Juneau, Alaska.  Figure that most anglers come here to catch the king salmon and halibut and the other species become bonus species when you catch them.

This area also features nearby streams, lakes and rivers that offer fishing for steelhead, dolly varden and cutthroat trout.
