Every coastal Alaskan fishing community has a fishing supply store. Murray Pacific is Ketchikan’s. If you want the low-down on fishing in Alaska, there’s no better way to soak up the culture than by spending a few minutes browsing the gear here.
From rods and reels to flashers and hoochies, you’ll get a taste of Alaska you won’t discover any other way. The staff at Murray Pacific is well-versed in current fishing techniques and what is being caught. You might find it interesting to buy one of the commercial grade hats, coats or rain jackets that have been vetted by the real folks using them in Alaska. (Or use one of those flashers as a hip Alaskan luggage tag – no one will ever take your suitcase by mistake!)
You’ll find Murray Pacific at 1050 Water Street. It’s a few blocks west of downtown, but still within walking distance of the cruise ship docks.
