Shop For Your Next Alaska Fly Fishing Adventure
The "Last Frontier" is known for its wealth of fly fishing opportunities, from annual Pacific Salmon runs to some of the world's largest rainbow trout. Some lodges in our Alaska program provide anglers with most everything they could need including waders and flies, while others require more preparation. If you're in need of an effective layering system, rod and reel combination, or a fresh line for swinging flies, we have a full-selection of gear perfect for this destination.
Having extensively traveled and fly fished the world, we are the industry’s foremost authority on destination-specific equipment, gear, and flies. Over a week of fishing in Alaska, anglers can expect to experience one of the world's healthiest freshwater fisheries. If you are fishing for less than five days, we recommend a bare minimum of twenty-four flies or a more adequate selection of thirty-six flies.
What Type of Rod Action? Medium to fast action rods are recommended.
What Weight? Rod weights will vary depending on target species. In general, an all around trout rod can be a 6, 7, and/or 8-weight. For salmon and steelhead, an 8 or 9-weight, while King salmon require a 10 or 11-weight. For pike, a 10-weight is ideal. Backup rods are always recommended.
Trout: A weight-forward, floating line. Lines with heavy heads will allow for ease of shooting line over a week of intense fishing. A secondary sink tip line can be very useful for streamer fishing.
Salmon/Steelhead: For salmon, both a floating and sink-tip line are recommended. For steelhead, a weight-forward floating line is recommended.
King Salmon: For Kings, a sinking line is recommended in the 350-400 grain range.
Over time, dirt, grime, and other contaminants can accumulate on your fly line, which can negatively impact your casting performance. A dirty fly line can stick to your guides and drag through the water, resulting in poor casting distance and accuracy. Regularly cleaning your fly line can help extend its lifespan. Dirt and other contaminants can cause the coating on your fly line to degrade faster, leading to cracks and other damage that can weaken the line. A clean fly line can help you detect subtle strikes and improve your overall fishing experience.
