Seward, Alaska, perched on the edge of the Kenai Peninsula, offers some of the richest fishing waters in North America. This region is renowned for its rugged coastline, icy blue waters, and abundant marine life that provide a dramatic backdrop for an exceptional fishing expedition. SEWARD SALMON ONLY specializes in targeting two prized species: salmon and rockfish.
