(SitNews) - FishingBooker, the world’s largest platform for booking fishing trips, has compiled a list of the top Labor Day weekend fishing destinations for 2022, and Ketchikan topped the list.

Some see Labor Day as an ode to union workers who changed the lives of future generations. Some use it as the last chance to bask in the summer before the school year begins. Most people, however, just want some time to spend with their families, doing the things they love. Fishing is one of the best activities you can plan for the holiday weekend.

Why did Ketchikan rank number 1

If there’s a state that combines fantastic fishing opportunities with breathtaking nature, it’s Alaska. September in Ketchikan offers prolific angling conditions. Pleasant temperatures (with quite a bit of rainfall) make it easy to enjoy the bite – and the list of species is impressive, too. First in line is Coho Salmon. All five Salmon species can be expected, but Coho is the most popular draw. Halibut and Rockfish are also available here! If you prefer freshwater fishing, head to Ward Lake or Connell Lake. Here you can target Rainbow, Cutthroat, and Brook Trout, as well as Dolly Warden and Steelhead.

Besides fishing, FishingBooker recommended taking a walk through history in Totem Bight State Historical Park and not to miss the Misty Fjords National Monument and definitely explore Creek Street in dowtown Ketchikan.
