Float Fishing Trip Alaska: How to Plan a Successful Float Fishing Trip in Alaska
If you're planning a float fishing trip, Alaska is likely the best place on earth. You can relax and enjoy the views alongside some of the best fishing of your life. The state is teeming with fish, incredible spots and experienced guides.
So, keep reading for some hints that will help make your Alaskan fishing adventure a success.
Try a Vacation Planner Service
Instead of tethering yourself to one lodge or a specific charter company, you can opt to use a trip planning service. Most Alaskan vacation planners will work within your budget, booking your trip according to when you're coming, your fishing skill level and where you can find the best fishing. One company, recommended by the Frommer's Guide to Alaska are Sport Fishing Alaska (907-344-8674).
Do Your Research
Because most of the fish in Alaska are migratory, it's so important to know when they're in season, but also where they'll be at a specific time. Otherwise, you could find yourself staying at an empty lodge next to a river with no fish.
Probably the best information resource is the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's Sport Fish Division. You can access their website at http://www.sf.adfg.state.ak.us. Their website is updated weekly with hot spots, run timing information and general educational information on fishing in Alaska.
For region-specific information, you can click on specific areas of the state and obtain publications or guides for fishing in that area. You can also contact the local offices by phone (numbers listed on the website) for guide or charter service recommendations.
Reserve Ahead
If you're planning a float fishing trip, Alaska veterans recommend booking well in advance to score the best lodges at the best times. Locals and seasoned visitors know when to book and where to book, so plan ahead. You'll also find that during the peak summer season, hotels in major cities and rental cars can book up fast.
Pack the Right Clothes
The basic rule of thumb for any Alaska adventure is to prepare to dress in layers. Daytime temperatures can reach the high 70s while cool nights or pouring rain can instantly drop the temperature to a chilly 40 degrees.
Remember to pack a wind and waterproof outer layer designed for fishing. For a successful float fishing trip, Alaska veterans know to pack smart and be prepared.
