Welcome to Part 2 of the Ketchikan series. This week takes us deep into the heart of Ketchikan, Alaska, known globally as the Salmon Capital of the World. We give you a backstage pass to two of its top-notch fishing resorts, Waterfall Resort Alaska and Steamboat Bay Fishing Club. We promise you'll be hooked as we dive into an animated conversation with Chuck Baird, the director of corporate business development for the Waterfall Group. Chuck unravels the thread of the resorts' exceptional amenities, services, and accommodations. He also shares his personal journey, deeply rooted in Ketchikan, and takes us aboard the unique custom-designed North River Sounder boats. 

Our Alaskan adventure does not end there, as we charter the culinary and lodging landscape of Waterfall Resort and Steamboat Bay. The flavors of the seafood-rich buffet, the rustic charm of the cabins, and the camaraderie of picnic-style boat lunches will leave you savoring the essence of Alaskan hospitality. Experience the enchantment of winding down the day, exchanging tales of the day's catch, and the joy of onsite fish processing that lets you take home your prized catch.
