| Summer Temperatures: |
| The temperature range during
our summer fishing season normally runs from
55-70 degF, however, at night it can get down in
the 40's and we have seen low 90's during the
days. |

| Fishing Gear: |
| We furnish spinning and bait casting
fishing gear and have a limited amount of fly
fishing gear. You are welcome to bring
your own gear. King salmon gear should be
medium-heavy duty with 15# to 20# test line.
We will be drifting and back trolling.
Silver salmon gear can be a little lighter duty
(15#) with casting lures in mind. We will
supply bait as well as spinning and bait casting fishing lures.
Fly fishermen are encouraged to bring heavy gear
for Kings and Silvers. 8-10 wt. rods
(preferably 10wt.) for Kings and 8 wt. for
Silvers. Having a lighter rod for Arctic
grayling fishing during a hatch can be fun also.
Most fly fishermen bring their own equipment and
it is recommended. Please call in advance
about availability of fly fishing gear if you do
not have your own and would like to fly fish. We can make recommendations on what flies to
bring, however, we also do some fly tying at
camp. |

| BYOB: |
| We do not provide liquor &
beer. You are able
to purchase these items in Dillingham, however
bringing it with you in your luggage or having us
order it from Anchorage is a whole lot cheaper.
We will supply limited mixers and ice.
Should you require something special, please let
us know. |
| |
| Fish Coolers: |
| It is recommended to bring an
insulated cooler to transport your fish back
home when you leave. You can pack any
consumable items in the cooler for the trip to
the lodge. We will furnish waxed fish boxes at camp should
you not be able to bring a cooler.
Although the waxed fish boxes could be used for
very short term transport, they are not
recommended to keep frozen for typical airline
transport from Anchorage to the states. |
