Also known as chum or dog salmon, they are the most widely distributed of all the Pacific salmon and generallv occur throughout Alaska. The tail is highly forked, more so than other species of Pacific salmon, and is not spotted.
They have the widest distribution of the Pacific salmon throughout Alaska. Newly hatched keta salmon migrate, sometimes over 2,000 miles down their natal (home) rivers toward their feeding grounds in the sea. They can be found in two distinct races based on spawning-run timing: earlier summer keta salmon, and the later-running fall keta salmon.
When you fish the waters of Alaska, you need a boat that can handle any situation.

Pybus Point Lodge is located on the remote and secluded far south edge of Admiralty Island National Monument. Coverage is always tricky in deep valleys and remote natural areas. We found that AT&T has the most reliable cellular service at the lodge while T-mobile, Sprint, and Verizon can be picked up while out on the ocean. We do have a lodge phone you can use if necessary.
If you can't get a signal, we do provide free high-speed WIFI to the lodge and cabins. A popular option is to utilize your phones WIFI calling mode to communicate and take calls while at the cabin, although we prefer to unplug and enjoy all that the island has to offer.
The calm, cool waters of Alaska’s Inside Passage are the perfect habitat for humpback whales. Our guests tell us close encounters with these peaceful giants have changed the way they see the world – and we know just what they mean.
