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!
