Alaska weather is legendary for being impossible to predict. I've had 70 degree sun filled days in April, and 30 degree snowy days in July. So the key to clothing is LAYERING and WEATHERPROOFING. Patagonia and Exofficio and Simms all make awesome Alaska clothing that will keep moisture and wind out and your body heat in when it's cold, but can easily be removed when it's warmer.

FISHING GEAR FOR SOUTHEAST ALASKA

Every salmon and halibut oriented lodge in Southeast Alaska that we represent has all the fishing gear our clients will need. There is no need to bring your own tackle for saltwater fishing in Alaska with Rod and Reel Adventures. However, most of these lodges also have freshwater opportunities and not all of the lodges have excellent freshwater gear. So here is a list of some freshwater gear you may want to consider bringing along with you:

7-8-9 Weight Flyrod
Fly reel with 150 yards of 30# dacron backing and both a floating and sink-tip flyline.

Medium action spinning rod and reel with 150-200 yards of 12-16# monofilament fishing line.

felt soled boots
breatheable waders

Assorted spinners, jigs, and flies. Email us for more details on lures and flies.
