About Deep Sea Fishing Fishing in Haines
Haines, Alaska offers some of the finest deep sea fishing fishing on the Gulf Coast. Haines sits at the head of the Lynn Canal, the longest and deepest fjord in North America, with the Chilkat River producing some of the largest king salmon runs in Southeast Alaska. The town is famous for the world's largest concentration of bald eagles and incredible fall salmon runs. Halibut, lingcod, and rockfish round out the saltwater fishing opportunities in this stunning mountain setting.
