Tackle & Supplies
A major factor in any angler’s success is having the proper gear for the fishing challenge they are facing. We have found that most first time visitors to the lodge bring spin gear that is too heavy and fly gear that is too light.
Therefore, to help you organize and prepare for your trip, we have compiled a recommended list of what equipment and tackle we believe is best suited for Alaska’s climate and angling challenges.
Please click through the following pages for our suggestions on what items are most useful for your stay with us.
Lodge Rods, Reels & Waders
We have rods, reels and waders for those guest who do not have their own equipment or chose not to bring their own equipment with them. Please let us know as soon as you can if you will be needing gear, so we can insure the proper sizes are on hand prior to your arrival.
We have lures and flies at the lodge, but we list some of our favorites so you can bring your own if you wish. Our space in the float planes is limited, so bring small numbers. For your daily fly-out trips we recommended that you only bring a small container of tackle that you can carry in your fly vest or asmall pack.
Fly Fishing
Salmon smolt running out to the ocean provide most of the feed for our fresh water species during June and July and the eggs from the spawning salmon feed the Rainbow, Char and Grayling the rest of the season. The secret to much of our fly fishing is in getting your fly down to the bottom where most of the feeding takes place.
