The most recent study states that Sitka is almost twice as productive as the closest rival destination. The average rod hours for catching a King Salmon in June are less than 5-hours. The average rod hours for catching a Silver Salmon in August are less than 2 hours. By contrast, the average rod hours for catching a King Salmon in Juneau are 9 hours
