Packing List
Travel
You will need to make travel arrangements to Anchorage and then on to King Salmon. Alaska Airlines and Pennisula Airways service King Salmon from Anchorage. You should plan on arriving in King Salmon before 5PM on Monday. Penn Air (800) 448-4226 has a flight departing Anchorage @ 3:50PM, arriving King Salmon 4:45PM. The lodge floatplanes will transfer you to the lodge between 5PM and 6pm. 

If you arrive in King Salmon early, there are several restaurant/bar options within walking distance. Look for the No See Um van outside the airport, deposit bags in the back and relax. Don't worry about getting left behind, we will find you.

If you have not yet purchased a fishing license online, you can get them at the airport gift shop. Departure from the lodge is 8AM the following Monday. Many people book the early flight out of King Salmon (approx. 9:30AM). If you opt for the first flight, keep in mind that weather delays are very possible. Travel time between King Salmon and the lodge is approx. 30 minutes. Unscheduled flights between King Salmon and the lodge are available at an additional charge of $300.
Fly Rods ♦
As an all around rod a six or seven weight is best. Many guests also bring a four or five weight rod for dry fly fishing and an eight weight rod for most salmon. While most people bring their own rods and reels No See Um Lodge does loan equipment at no charge. There is a $75.00 charge for broken loaner rods.
Lines ♦
Floating line is used for most Rainbow Trout fishing with dry flys, nymps, egg patterns, fry and streamers. A floating line is often used for salmon as well. A mid-weight sink tip works well for early season trout.
Reels ♦
Any reel will work but one with a good drag seems best for the strong native fish that you will be catching.
Clothing and Waders ♦
Chest high waders are a must. Either neoprene or gortex work well. You will need felt soled wading shoes but absolutely no metal cleats or spikes as they damage the aircraft and boats. Typical fishing clothing consists of poly underwear, pile jacket, hooded sweatshirt and a good fishing rain jacket. Fingerless gloves are nice for cold mornings. Dress at the lodge is always informal.
Flies ♦
No See Um Lodge will furnish all of your flies. You may also want to bring some favorites from home.
