What kind of tackle is used?
Fisherman use fly, casting, or spinning equipment. Eight or nine weight fly rods
are preferred with high capacity reels (to accommodate those long rocket runs!)
and medium weight casting and spinning gear.

How many species of fish can I expect to catch
The Silver Salmon are by far our most numerous and popular game fish; however, there
are also Dolly Varden Char, Pink Salmon and fall-run Steelhead in the river.

Can we keep the fish?
Absolutely! The limit is four Silver Salmon per day and a total of eight
in possession for the trip. All fish cleaning and freezing occurs at the
lodge at no extra charge. Our efficient "blast
freezer" and
heavy duty cryovac vacuum packing machine insures your fish are the highest
quality. The average Silver weighs about 10 pounds, so you should leave Alaska
with about 35 pounds of frozen fillets. They will be packed in an airline-approved,
insulated container that will keep fish frozen for 24-36 hours.

What is the climate like?
The climate along Alaska's Gulf Coast is typical northern maritime,
often with cool temperatures and cloudy skies. During August, however, the sun can
be hot and intense and we recommend you bring some sunscreen. During September
and October, temperatures vary between 40 and 55 degrees.
