Once off the ship a head for Creek Street, a row of wooden buildings perched over the water on pilings, which is not a street at all, this boardwalk winds along Ketchikan Creek and was once the locale for all the area's brothels.

Documentary about commercial salmon fishing in Alaska
2014
Alaska supports one of the most productive commercial fishing economies in the world. Fishermen typically receive well over $1 billion for their catch; while the value of Alaskan seafood sold at first wholesale easily tops $3 billion. The total economic impact of the seafood industry (direct, indirect, and induced efforts) in Alaska was estimated at 4.6 billion in 2009. Subsistence and personal use fisheries managed by the Division of Commercial Fisheries feed thousands of Alaskans
Commercially important species of seafood from Alaska include five species of salmon, five species of crab, walleye pollock, Pacific halibut, Pacific cod, sablefish, herring, four species of shrimp, several species of flatfish and rockfish, lingcod, geoducks, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins. Sixty-four aquatic farms also produce oysters, littleneck clams, and geoduck clams.
Salmon is the most valuable commercial fishery managed by the State of Alaska. Commercial fisheries for salmon extend from Ketchikan to Kotzebue, as well as deep into the interior of Alaska along the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers. Salmon are harvested using a variety of fishing gear and more Alaskans are employed in harvesting and processing salmon than in any other commercial fishery.
Bristol Bay is the largest sockeye salmon fishery in the world and the most valuable single salmon fishery in Alaska. Pink salmon, the most numerous salmon species harvested in Alaska, often produce statewide harvests of over 100 million fish. Southeast Alaska, Prince William Sound, the Alaska Peninsula, and Kodiak are the major pink salmon producing areas.
Shellfish is the second most valuable fishery managed by the state of Alaska, with the largest shellfish harvests occurring in the Bering Sea. These fisheries are managed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) on a seasonal basis using a total allowable catch. This ensures sustainable wild stocks and harvests under a fishery management plan adopted by the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council (Council) that delegates specific management authorities to the state. Smaller inshore fisheries for shellfish, managed exclusively by the state, also occur.
State-managed Groundfish and herring fisheries add to Alaska's seafood economy. These fisheries are important because they diversify the products that Alaskan processors can market and lengthen the time fishermen and processing plants operate. The sablefish fishery in particular represents one of the highest valued finfish per pound in southeast Alaska.
For some species, e.g. demersal shelf rockfish, the federal government and ADF&G share jurisdiction in management of fisheries outside state waters. The North Pacific Fisheries Management Council (NPFMC) approves fishery management plans for species listed under the federal management plan, but the ADF&G commissioner is a voting member of the NPFMC, and ADF&G Division of Commercial Fisheries staff attend the NPFMC Plan Team meetings. As a result, the State of Alaska actively contributes to the science and management discussions that influence federal fisheries policy.

There are lots of reasons to go after an Alaska fishing job.
The answer’s pretty simple really. People are drawn to the adventure of working in America’s last great frontier and by the excellent earnings potential. With overtime and the possibility for bonus pay, workers in Alaska’s salmon processing plants enjoy the possibility of making far more than their counterparts working fast food or retail back home in the lower-48. Okay, maybe the answer isn’t even that simple!

IRR at work in Ketchikan Alaska
The City of Ketchikan has used IRR for patching potholes since last summer. Our crews are continually amazed at how well it has performed. We have not had a single patch ravel or come loose this winter. It is even better than the original asphalt.
The winter freeze thaw cycles with rain and snow has not phased the material at all. Chains do not even marr or scratch the patch. Overall, we couldn't be more pleased with IRR and we plan to have plenty of material on hand from now on.
Thanks for developing this amazing product. It has saved us a lot of money.
Regards,
Harvey Hansen

Hey everyone I hope all is well with you. Well Its that time in my life to make some big changes and well I am heading to Alaska ! I need to make a living for my family and I would like to check out the fishing industry this 2012 season. I will be there on the 19Th of May and will be there until the end of the season which is in September.I am landing in Ketchikan and I will Walk the docks Until I find work. I am a greenhorn and I am excited. I was fortunate to meet a Captain off of an online Salmon Trolling forum and he and his family have take me in for a week in Olympia Washington. He has shown me so much and I am confident I will do well up there. I do not know anyone in Alaska and I only bought one way tickets. I will be taking the ferry out of Bellingham WA . I will make it in the industry and will make any Captain proud he hired me. I bought a new Sony HD Camcorder to get some great video and hope you will all keep in touch ! Thank you

Ketchikan - Halibut Fishing
LEARN MORE:
SUBSCRIBE:
This is the experience many anglers dream of when planning an Alaskan vacation, fishing for the largest flatfish in the world, the Pacific Halibut. Imagine catching your first wild halibut with your friends or family and the bragging rights that will come with sharing this delectable fish back home. Unlike many other Alaska destinations, Ketchikan fishing is in protected waters, a short ride from the marina. No matter your skill level, you'll fish like a local, with a Penn rod and Penn 114 reel in your own two hands, working the sandy flats, drifting with the current, jigging in waters as deep as 300 feet. Spend the day with an experienced Alaskan guide, in pursuit of the elusive halibut, learning the secrets of fishing circle hooks, working the tides and battling your leviathan. You can choose to custom process your halibut, as well as purchase a selection of local Alaskan seafood to include with the shipment of your bounty home. Note: Participants must be at least 5 years of age, weigh a minimum of 30 lbs and a maximum of 300 lbs. Deck or rubber soled shoes must be worn on board. We recommend that you wear warm, layered clothing. Rain gear, rubber boots, comfortable float jackets, wool socks, hat and gloves. Halibut fishing equipment and tackle are provided. Actual fishing duration is 4 1/2 hours. Alaska State Law requires a fishing license that can be purchased in cash at the outfitting room for $20. You'll need a credit card in order to have your catch processed and sent home (U.S. only). Fish cannot be stored on board the ship.

Norwegian Bliss Cruise Day 6: Best Lunch in Ketchikan!
Music: bensound.com
In today's vlog, we are back on the Norwegian Bliss in Ketchikan, Alaska. We started the day off by grabbing a quick, light breakfast at the buffet on the Norwegian Bliss, The Garden Cafe. We had a gorgeous preview of Ketchikan from our breakfast table on the NCL Bliss.
We were only in port in Ketchikan for about five hours, so we strolled around and saw as much as we could. We saw the famous Ketchikan sign, naming it as Alaska's First City, as well as the Salmon Capital of the World. On our way to see the Deer Mountain Hatchery in Ketchikan, we spotted a salmon ladder. We believe this gives salmon an easier path down the waterway than the natural obstacles do. Unfortunately, the Deer Mountain Hatchery in Ketchikan was closed because we visited Alaska very early in the salmon season. We did get to peek behind the fences of the Deer Mountain Hatchery and see some of the large pools they have. It definitely looks like an interesting place to visit!
The Deer Mountain Hatchery is right next to the City Park of Ketchikan, which is a beautiful park which has the Ketchikan Creek flowing right through the middle of it. Right near the City Park of Ketchikan and the Deer Mountain Hatchery is the Totem Heritage Center in Ketchikan. There is an admission fee to enter the Totem Heritage Center, but there are two totem poles outside that anyone can look at and enjoy.
For lunch in Ketchikan, we ate at the Alaska Fish House. The Alaska Fish House in Ketchikan is an order, take a number and a seat restaurant. I recommend getting there early, as The Alaska Fish House was packed the entire time we were there. For lunch at the Alaska Fish House in Ketchikan, I had a bowl of the Smoked Salmon Chowder, a piece of the smoked salmon cornbread, and Dungeness crab legs. The Alaska Fish House was the best lunch we had in Alaska!
After we got done exploring Ketchikan, we walked around areas of the Norwegian Bliss that we hadn't seen before. For dinner on the Norwegian Bliss, we went to Taste, one of the complimentary restaurants on the NCL Bliss. At Taste on the Norwegian Bliss, I got two appetizers: the cream of asparagus soup and the avocado hummus. For an entree, I got the grilled New York strip steak at Taste. All of the complimentary restaurants on the Norwegian Bliss provide you with wonderful bread baskets. For dessert at Taste on the Norwegian Bliss, I got the roasted golden delicious apple. It wasn't quite enough, though, so I grabbed another ice cream cone on the NCL Bliss before our reservation for Jersey Boys.
Thanks for joining us in Ketchikan and on the Norwegian Bliss!

This river was filled with Chum and Pink salmon so I had to capture it. I used the Gopro Hero 3 (white edition).
