Tips To Make Your Alaska Float Fishing Outing Fulfilling
By Trevor Price
If you're planning an Alaska float trip, the key word is "planning." During peak season, quality lodges will book up fast and rates are high, but planning ahead can avoid both disappointment and excessive costs.

So, plan ahead, book early and know the best places to be. To find out more on how to make your Alaskan trip a hit, keep reading for tips on what to bring, the best season and where to stay.

What to Pack

Because the temperature can vary radically in Alaska - from a hot noon sun to a freezing cold night - you want clothes that will layer, dry quickly and keep you both warm and protected. Opt for clothing made from quick dry fabric like smart wool or a performance blend and choose pieces that can layer. Ideally, you want long-sleeve shirts and pants that will protect you from both the sun and bugs.

Instead of packing every piece of oversized and heavy gear that you own, call ahead to your lodge or tour company and see what types of equipment will be included in your package. You may still want to pack your favorite lures or gear, but most companies actually provide flies, lures, floats and other supplies.

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.

When to Go

The best time to go on an Alaska float trip is from June to September. The weather is great, the salmon are spawning, the trout are plentiful and the is amazing. Unfortunately, this is also peak tourism season. That means you need to plan ahead, reserve early and book in advance.

Great Locales for Fishing

Some of the best places for Alaska angling are

* Bristol Bay, the world's largest salmon fishery which is also home to a wide assortment of other fish
* The Copper River Delta, a fast-moving water rich with trout
* The Kenai River, a place known for its massive king salmon, and
* Kodiak Island, home to great roadside and remote locations

Remember, when you're planning an Alaska float trip, always book the best 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.
