Fishing Rods & Reels are furnished at camp as well as Bait casting lures and tackle. If you want to bring your own gear please do so but it is not necessary.
Luggage Please remember you will fly in small aircraft. Soft duffle bags are recommended for traveling ease. Please keep your gear weight to the minimum suggested.
Please remember that weather and fishing conditions often change rapidly. Be prepared. It is not necessary to bring the entire list but use good judgment and bring the items you feel are best for you and your comfort.
The weather during your visit will most likely be in the 40’s at night and 60’s during the day but can sometimes be either colder or warmer. You will have around 19 hours of sunlight a day so come rested as you will probably wear yourself out fishing most of those hours.
Please bring an Ice Chest. Most folks use it to bring their favorite beverage into camp and take their fish home. We have fish boxes but if for any reason it gets separated from your luggage an Ice Chest will preserve your fish frozen for a longer period of time. They are pretty good in Alaska about caring for your catch but if you have connecting flights anywhere the safety of an Ice chest can be a benefit.
We provide all fishing equipment but if you would like to bring your favorite rod and reel please feel free to do so. We do not provide fly fishing rods so if you want to utilize those techniques please bring your favorite. We can send you a list of suggested fishing supplies from tackle to fly patterns if you would like to bring some of your own gear.
WIFI and most cellular service is not available at camp.
Please keep your gear weight to a minimum. A 50 pound weight limit is suggested for your inbound luggage (Personal gear) to allow for plenty of fish on your return to home. The 50 pound limit does not include ice chest.
