Recommended Fishing Gear for Yakutat, AK, Self-Guided Fishing:

Ensure you're well-prepared for your self-guided fishing adventure in Yakutat, Alaska, with the following recommended gear:

• Fly Rods:
  • 8 to 10-weight fly rods – versatile rods suitable for targeting Silver Salmon (Coho) in various conditions.

• Fly Lines:
  • Floating fly lines – ideal for the fishing conditions in Yakutat's waters.
  • Sink tip lines to match your setup.  At times, the water can be high, creating the need to get a fly deeper into the runs.

• Flies:
  • Bring a selection of flies suitable for Silver Salmon (Coho).  The Cohos are rarely super selective,  so the standard pink, purple, orange etc. will usually get the job done.  We are happy to provide examples if needed.

• Waders:
  • Waders – ensure you have reliable waders.  We spend most of our days in our waders.  The rivers have good footing and any wading boots will work.  Studded boots are not necessary.

• Insulation Layers:
  • Layer appropriately, with insulation for varying weather conditions. Alaska's climate can change quickly, so be prepared for varying temperatures.

• Rain Jacket:
  • Alaska is a rainforest.  A durable and waterproof rain jacket is essential for staying dry during potential rain showers.

• Polarized Sunglasses:
  • Polarized sunglasses – enhance visibility in the water and protect your eyes from glare.

Since this is a self guided trip, feel free to tip yourself.  Maybe treat yourself to a new rod or waders?

We do collect a group tip at the end of the trip for the lodge staff.  They do a great job of keeping our place clean and well stocked.
