Fishing in Seward

Seward sits at the head of Resurrection Bay on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, at the edge of Kenai Fjords National Park. Glaciers, mountains and wildlife are part of every trip — and the fishing is excellent.

Salmon

Silver (coho) salmon are Seward’s signature fish: they flood into Resurrection Bay from late July into September, and the town’s Silver Salmon Derby each August is one of Alaska’s best-known fishing events. King salmon are caught earlier in summer.

Halibut and bottom fish

Halibut charters run out of the bay toward the Gulf of Alaska, often combined with rockfish and lingcod on the same trip. Many boats offer “combo” days for halibut and salmon.

Good to know

Alaska requires a fishing license, and a king salmon stamp if you fish for kings; buy them online before your trip. Halibut and salmon limits for charter anglers are set every year and can change during the season — your captain will know the current rules.

Best time to go

Summer is the season: June brings king salmon and halibut, late July to September is silver salmon time (the Silver Salmon Derby is in August), and halibut fishing continues through the summer.
