Simple Tips for Fishing Excursions in Alaska
|
Alaska has the best fishing in the world, pristine wilderness, amazing landscapes and plentiful wildlife, so don't let poor planning spoil your vacation. Keep reading for four great tips that will make your fishing expedition a success. Prepare for Bug Battle The best time to put on your mosquito hat and gear is before the bugs arrive. Otherwise, you could wind up with a mosquito net hat full of bugs poised for blood. Be prepared with a plentiful supply of non-aerosol bug repellent and wilderness-grade mosquito wear. Sorry, but citronella candles and mosquito coils just won't cut it in the Alaska wilderness. Pack Sunscreen Despite the sometimes cold temperatures and rain, there are still high risks for sun damage and possible sunstroke. Keep yourself protected with long clothing and a high-quality, non-greasy and waterproof sun block. Choose an SPF higher than 30 and avoid combo bug-repellent products as these tend to wear off faster. Reserve Early During the peak summer tourism seasons, places like Juneau, Anchorage and Flagstaff can book up fast. The area sees over a million tourists every year, many of whom are booking their own Alaska fishing vacations - meaning hotels will fill up, recommended charters will be reserved and you'll be left wishing you had planned ahead. Don't be disappointed - book your lodgings and charters well in advance. Always Pack a Personal Survival Kit Whether you're on a fully catered luxury tour or a self-guided adventure expedition, you should always pack a small survival kit that can be carried in a vest or pocket at all times - in case you're separated from your pack or tour group. The kit should include purification pills, waterproof matches, chalk to make markings, a whistle, a granola bar, fishing line and hooks and a Ziploc bag for carrying water. You can pack it all in a metal tin or can, which can also be used to boil water. Alaska fishing vacations are incredible adventures - whether you're on a luxury tour or a solo expedition. The fish are massive, the rivers run clean and the wild nature is majestic. So, don't spoil it by being unprepared or forgetting personal safety. Remember - be prepared for bugs, stay sun-safe, reserve ahead and always pack a personal survival kit.
