Rods And Reels
We provide all rods and reels, flies, beads, weights, tippet, fly tying vise…the works. With that said, speaking as fishing fanatics, we understand completely if you want to bring your own gear. Here’s what we recommend:
- Rainbow fishing: 6-8 weight (trust us – after several 50+ fish days in a row, you’ll want to be able to get them in quickly – 8 weight is ideal)
- Grayling/Dolly/Char fishing: 4-5 weight
- Sockeye Salmon fishing: 8 weight
- Line – weight forward floating line
- A long rod, 8.5-9.5 is ideal
- Ten foot leaders are the best choice with 8 to 10 lb. tippets
- Bubble strike indicators work best in order to pick up on light biting Trout and Char
