Ideas to Make Your Alaska Float Fishing Excursion Enjoyable
|
To learn more about how to make your float fishing trip a success, keep reading for advice on what to pack, when to go and where to look for the best fishing. Packing List for an Alaskan Float Fishing Trip Ideally, you want to pack clothes that will layer easily - keeping you prepared for hot sun, rainy days and cold nights. Choose a fabric like performance wool or a high-tech fabric that will wick away sweat, dry quickly if it gets wet and keep you warm at night. Before you start packing all your heavy float fishing gear, double check with your lodge or charter company to see what is and isn't included in your package. Of course, pack your favorite floats and lures, but many charter companies include larger equipment and safety gear. And last but not least, the best place to spend your money is on solid rain gear. Though Gore-Tex is expensive and breathable, it's actually not fully waterproof and will eventually start to seep after a full day of heavy rain. PVC can be hot and uncomfortable, but its impenetrable. So, whether you choose PVC or Gore-Tex, weigh your options, consider whether you're staying in a lodge or out in the wilderness - and choose accordingly. The Best Time to Go Float Fishing in Alaska The peak season for float fishing in Alaska is the summer, so it's between the months of June and September. You'll likely have warm, if not rainy, weather, great fishing and easy pickings on the water. However, the summer is also prime tourism season, which is why it's so important to book ahead. Great Locales for Fishing The best fishing spots in Alaska are * The Kenai River, a water known for its huge salmon * The Copper River Delta, a river delta teeming with salmon and trout * Bristol Bay, an angler's paradise and home to hundreds of remote lodges, and * Kodiak Island, an island oasis that's remote, isolated and crammed with fish Remember, when you're planning an Alaska float fishing trip, always book the best fishing locations, reserve your place early, go during the season and pack smart. If you're trying to book a charter or lodge, get a recommendation or referral from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Sport Fish Division. You can find them online at sf.adfg.state.ak.us.
