Met the McFaddens at an over the water, indoor/outdoor (only one in Ketchikan) grill and bar. They twisted my arm in to going on their walking tour of the fishing fleet and pubs in town. It turned out to be the most fun, and informative tour I took during my 2 weeks in Alaska! I really felt I had gained a lot of unique knowledge and perspective about the Alaskan fishing community, town history, and special photo opportunities during the tour. Most of all I had made some new friends of the tour guides and owners, the McFaddens- who truly make this tour a unique and special opportunity get in to the real personality of this special community.I didn't know what to expect but was looking for a tour that would introduce me to the locals and learn about something new.

I didn't know what to expect but was looking for a tour that would introduce me to the locals and learn about something new. This tour did just that. I learned about the different ways they fish for salmon and halibut in Alaska, got to meet local fishermen, see the boats up close, and toured the town too. I got a lot out of this 90 minute tour including a couple of beers in the local fishermen's bars.
