Rare karatemom2 Posted July 7, 2012 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2012 In our experience the salmon have been running in Ketchikan by mid to late July. They are easy to see. Just go walking on Creek Street and you can watch them from the boardwalks that meander around the creek. When the run is at its height you can't possibly miss them! They are jumping out of the water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those that are coming to Seattle before the cruise, the Ballard locks 3 miles north of the cruise ships is a great place to see salmon. 10,000/day are going through the fish ladder daily. You will also see the salmon killer sealions below the lock. http://www.ericewe.com/travel/hiram-ballard-locks-and-salmon-run-viewing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted July 7, 2012 #6 Share Posted July 7, 2012 While the timing of salmon runs are influenced by a number of factors not the least of which are water levels and water temperatures, by late July you are almost certain to see salmon at Creek Street.

We will be there the first week in September. Will there still be Salmon that late? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted July 8, 2012 #8 Share Posted July 8, 2012 There certainly been salmon there in September when I have been there and while this can vary from year to year there will very likely be some in the river when you are there.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
