Q: I am  fisherman; can I bring my own rod and reel?

A: All fishing equipment is included in your tour: waders, rods, reels, bait, plugs and lures. However please bring your own fishing equipment if you prefer or if you want to fly fish, as we will not be supplying fly fishing gear. Just remember, big rods and reels are needed, fast sinking fly line and 20 + lb (8 kg +) line is recommended. Preparation of fish for shipping is available locally. This can be by freezing the fish or smoking them. Your daily quota is 4 Salmon and only one of those can be over 65 cm in length. For more on fishing techniques please visit this link. We also have a link to the Online Fishing Synopsis and you can view the different species and their respective seasons.

This is the required baggage allowance set by our charter provider. There are laundry facilities available. Please be sure to bring exercise clothing to wear if you plan on using the exercise equipment in our new spa. Sandals or “flip-flops” are very popular for after getting out of your hiking boots, and slippers are also a comfortable alternative for the lodge etc. We do provide you with slippers.
