Your flights should be scheduled to arrive in Anchorage the day before the start date of the trip.
You will then overnight in a hotel in Anchorage. (Holiday Inn, Express Embassy Suites or Captan Cook Hotel are recommended)
The next day you will load a charter plane to fly to a village nearest the house boat.
You may book your flights departing from Anchorage on the same date as your departure from the House Boat. Please book these flights no earlier than 8:00pm. This will help to ensure you will not miss your flight due to weather or mechanical delays. Many clients overnight again on the return trip in order to ensure no problems with returning flights.
The trip price does not include airfare to/from the village but we will assist you in making these arrangements to insure flight times align with our charters.
what to bring
01
Fly Fishing Gear
10 weight fly rods (one plus a back up)
Fly reel and back up
Extra fly line
65 pound American 1x7 or 7X7 wire (required minimum)
No mono required, at any line test, period.
Mono and wire cutters
Flies (single hook bright patterns work well in various sizes, we highly recommend 3/0 600sp teimco hooks)
02
Spin Fishing Gear

Spare reels
65lbs. Braided Tuff Line XP ( 65 lbs. Braided line is a minimum requirement. Our guides will re-spool your reels if necessary, we do not use mono)
Wire leaders 65lbs. minimum. Our guides have found that our hand tied wire leaders have the lowest failure method. Midnight Sun Trophy Pike Adventures does not use clips or fluorocarbon leaders, due to the fact that they fail. We want you to land big fish, not have the story of the "One that got away".
Flies and tackle are not required to bring as guides have all of the tackle necessary for your trip. You are welcome to bring your own tackle as long as baggage is under the required 50lbs. weight limit
