July Alaskan salmon fishing trip, help wanted.

I hear what you're saying about not wanting to fork money out for a guide, but in my experience it's worth the investment, as your chances of getting skunked would definitely go down. Also, when I went I went to Ketchikan, and actually caught all the types of salmon (plus halibut) on a charter boat out in the ocean. It would be more spendy, however you would be able to avoid the crowds on rivers and catch a bigger variety of fish. Because Alaska is something many of us won't get to do very often, It's better to err on the side of caution and make sure that you ensure you have the best trip possible
