Recommendations For Organizing a Memorable Float Fishing Trip in Alaska

When it comes to planning a float fishing trip, Alaska is like the Mecca of fishing spots. The views are incredible, the waters are pristine and the fish are abundant.

You'll find rivers full of fish, beautiful landscapes, great people and an incredible experience. However, before you start booking, read on for a few tips that will ensure your Alaskan fishing trip is one to remember.

Try a Vacation Planner Service

Instead of depending on one specific lodge, charter company or your own self-guided tour, try booking a trip using a planning service. These companies will lock in and plan your fishing trip based on when you'll be there, what fish you want to catch, your style of fishing and, of course, your budget. They can also be an invaluable resource for finding the best guides and fishing spots.

One company recommended by the Frommer's Guide to Alaska are Sport Fishing Alaska (907-344-8674). They can coordinate all your need, including your lodging and local travel options.

Do Your Research

Because most of the fish in Alaska are migratory, it's so important to know when they're in season, as well as 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.

Your primary source of facts should either be your local guide or the state's Department of Fish and Game Sport Fish Division. The division is online at sf.adfg.state.ak.us and has one of the most comprehensive websites in the country. Check it weekly for updates on great fishing spots, run data, tips and educational articles.

The site also offers heavily localized information that's specific to each region and area. You can find publications and data on run times, seasons and also the best lures and flies for fish in the region. For tour operator or charter recommendations, try also calling the department's local offices.

Book in Advance

For a peak-season float fishing trip, Alaska residents and travel veterans recommend reserving your place early. The best lodges at the peak fishing times tend to book up quickly, meaning you need to be prepared and ready to reserve your place. You'll also find that port cities and airport hubs can become overcrowded with tourists, so commit to your hotel and rental car well ahead of time.

Packing List for Alaska Fishing

Alaska is all about wild temperatures - from the hot noon sun to the cold nights or pouring rain. Plan ahead by packing clothes that can be layered, will dry quickly and will wick away sweat.

Also, invest your money in a high-quality, waterproof and wind-resistant rainwear suit that's designed for fishing expeditions. To ensure a comfortable and safe float fishing trip, Alaska residents know you have to pack the right clothes and be prepared.

A fishing trip in Alaska is an opportunity for an exciting adventure on the water. Your advance preparation will not only take your mind off trivial details while there, but also enhance your overall experience.

Description

Fill a container or glass with water. The quantity you determine. You need to only leave enough room for a layer of oil. You can also put something in the water, decorative items in the glass first, and you can color the water as desired (some packets of coloring are included). Pour a layer of oil on the water. Use any vegetable oil (not scented or olive oil). The oil will float on top (so it will not mix with the water). You determine how much, it must cover the surface. ½ inch of oil in a wine glass will provide about 25 hours of burn time. Tear a piece of kitchen paper towel (cotton fibers, not artificial) of about 1.2 by 1.2 inches. Roll it tightly into a small tube and cut with scissors to about 5/8 inch. Put this tube into the middle of the floater piece (the opening is there, do not try to make it bigger or anything) Let the piece fall gently into the bowl. Through the special channels the oil will drift to the paper towel. It will thus be drenched in oil. Because you can later add as much oil as you want, the paper wont burn down or disappear. Light the candle. You will now have a flame without smoke, smell or any waves. You can extinguish at any time. When you do extinguish it, there will be no smoke. The candle will burn as long as there is oil present. A bottle of vegetable oil provides about 1,000 hours of burn time. If the oil is used up, water will come into the ridges (channels) and the candle will extinguish itself. This candle never is used up, you can re-use it as much as you want. Because the candle part is made of heat resistant material (fiberglass) it can be used forever. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF SMALL CHILDREN AND ANIMALS DO NOT BURN ANYTHING UNATTENDED .BEWARE: DO NOT USE A REGULAR CANDLE WICK, THESE WOULD BURN OUT BECAUSE CANDLEWICKS DO NOT NEED OIL TO BURN.
