Equipment Planning

Having the right equipment will insure a very comfortable and successful Alaska fishing adventure. We feel that the fly fishing angler should bring at least two rods: one 8/9 weight for larger fish and one smaller 5/6 weight for smaller fish and windless days. For the spinning tackle fisherman, a long medium-action rod will suffice. Extra rods are always a plus. For more information on what to bring, read our recommended gear list document.

Camp Purchases and Valuables

There is no need for money at the camp.  Save it for King Salmon. If you have anything you do not wish to leave unattended while you are fishing, first consider not taking this item with you, second you can speak with the fishing coordinator and he will explain your options.

Water & Electricity

We purify all our own water. There is plenty to drink.There is no electricity at the remote camp. Remember, anglers will be in the remote Alaska wilderness. We want to emphasize the word "remote" here.

Problems At Camp

If you encounter ANY problem at camp, please report it to the fishing coordinator immediately. Potential problems can be corrected easily, but only if we know about the problem.

Tackle At Base Camp

The camp stocks a limited selection of flies and lures which have proven effective in the area. The camp also has a few loaner rods. It is best to come to camp thoroughly stocked with rods and tackle.

Refreshments On The Water

Anglers are REQUIRED to bring their own personal water bottle or canteen.  Anglers will be drinking from their own personal water bottle or canteen on the water.  Alcoholic beverages can be purchased in King Salmon before your trip or brought from your point of origin per airline regulations.  No glass beer bottles please - cans only.

Tipping

In Alaska, it is the custom to tip the staff and guides for the services they provide. This can sometimes become a confusing proposition, so we would like to suggest the following general guidelines. We recommend tipping your guide at least 10% of your per person rate.

General Information on What to Expect on Your Incredible Alaska Fly-In Six Day Adventure in the Alaska Wilderness

All float trips begin in King Salmon, Alaska. Guests and anglers are met by one of our guides and transferred to a float plane to fly to a remote glacial lake.

Anglers will spend the first night on one of the glacial lakes where the rivers originate.  From there you will begin a journey downstream, stopping each night at a different camp site to enjoy delicious appetizers and hearty gourmet meals.

The fishing is a combination of floating and wading, giving the angler an opportunity to fish all kinds of water from fast runs to quiet pools. Our guides will be there to assist you - they are experienced professionals who know the rivers thoroughly and how to make a successful and enjoyable trip. We guarantee it.

On The River

When conditions are right, an angler can cast to rainbow trout, sockeye salmon, tiger salmon, king salmon, grayling, dolly varden and artic char in a single week of fishing. This kind angling opportunity can be found only in a few locations in the world. If you would like to go after these other species, your guide can give advice on angling methods, availability, and fly or lure selection. You can fish from the raft. You can walk, fly-fish, spin or bait cast. You have a lot of options; so, it's a good idea to discuss your plans with your guide.
