Remote Alaska Fly In Fishing Trips: Lodges And Alaskan Vacations

Published: August 22, 2007
Fish is brain food. And who does not like to enjoy a grilled salmon fillet spritzed with fresh lemon juice every now and then? Most people do. There are also those who take the enjoyment of fish a step further; those who enjoy the thrill of baiting a hook or casting the line in streams where salmon swim upstream and silvery fish glimmer when caught by the sunlight.
According to the 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, more than 87 million Americans hunted, fished or observed wildlife, spending $120 billion by doing so. Also included in this survey, of the 87 million, almost half spent their time and $41 billion on recreational, or sport fishing.
Several small Alaskan businesses have recognized this opportunity and offer fly fishing vacations and fly in fishing adventures to people who want to to experience the call of the wild first hand. Their remote Alaska fishing trips may be just for a single person, or groups for whom their companies booked a group fly in fishing trip for a job well done. Depending on the people taking the trip, the nature of the fly in fishing adventure varies. It can consist of either days spent in a remote fly fishing lodge in Alaska, where a person is literally "one" with he call of the wild. Or spent by simply taking a float plane for a day of fly in fishing in Alaska's remote country and being back in the arms of civilization before the sun goes down.
For today's tourist, time is often money, and including as many different experiences as possible into their two weeks of remote Alaska fishing is more often the way to go. In addition to the duration of the fly fishing vacation, what is included in the fly in fishing trip also varies. Some fly in fishing packages include everything from the gear to the guide to meals, whereas others include only the transportation to the fly fishing lodge in Alaska wilderness and help from the guide if needed. Some of the extras naturally included in these remote Alaska fishing journeys are the opportunities to observe Alaskan wildlife: Brown Bear, Caribou, Eagles. Experiencing Alaska is not just about the fly in fishing, it is about the nature as a whole.
The fly in fishing season varies slightly, in general July is the most favorable season for excellent fly in fishing for all fish: King Salmon, Halibut, Sockeye, Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, Silver Salmon, Ling Cod, Black Sea Bass and Red Snapper. June is most favorable for King Salmon, Halibut, Black Sea Bass and Red Snapper. August is excellent fly in fishing time for Halibut, Rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, Silver Salmon, Ling Cod, Black Sea Bass and Red Snapper.
Whether a true and tried fisherman, a veteran of several fly in fishing adventures, or a novice on their first fly fishing vacation in a fly fishing lodge in Alaska, remote Alaska fishing has the perfect experience for everyone. When contemplating on their next vacation, more people should give fly in fishing in the rugged wilderness of Alaska a try. It will create memories that will last a lifetime.
