What to Bring on Your Trip

Purchase Alaska Fishing Licence:

Important License Info:

If you are 60 and an Alaskan resident, you are not required to buy either a King Salmon tag or a fishing license. You are required to have a HARVEST LICENSE, which is free. Nonresidents are required to buy a license and a tag. Residents and nonresidents under 16 do not require a fishing license but must have a HARVEST license which is free. Fishing licenses may be purchased at sports stores or retail businesses.

Food: We suggest packing food for both the road trip and for your day on the river. A day of fighting Salmon on the Kenai can work you up quite the appetite.

Packing your fish:

Your guide will clean and fillet your fish when your trip is over. We do not provide packing supplies for your catch, we suggest bringing your own ice cooler.

You are allowed to bring your catch in a box to the airport for free. You do not have to pay for your extra box if you are under the baggage minimum limit. Alaska airport is providing a free 50 lb fish box to ship.

Warm Clothing:

Pants-Levi or cotton type, Chamois or heavy shirt, long underwear (August), warm socks, warm coats, hat or lucky cap, gloves, rain gear and boots. We will provides rain gear and gloves on King of the River boat only.

Rain gear or gloves will not be provided on referral Kenai boats and Kasilof boats.

Bring Eye Protection and Sunblock:

Fishing without sunglasses or sunblock lotion and your day can end in a bit of pain. Sunny or cloudy days we still suggest being prepared because in Alaska weather can change rapidly.

We suggest bringing the best pair of polarized sunglasses you have for both eye protection and spotting your fish below the rivers surface. Bring a good sunblock as well to assure a good tan for the day, and no burning!

Camera:

We suggest bringing your own camera to capture the moment, although your guide will be taking pictures periodically. You may want to take personal pictures of the scenery and wildlife as well. Video, Digital, Film, whatever works.

Relax and enjoy the rest of your trip!
