Packing
List
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. A ten weight rod or larger is best for King Salmon.
While most people bring their own rods and reels, No See Um
Lodge does loan equipment at no charge. There is a charge for
loss or damage.
Lines
A floating line is used for
most Rainbow Trout fishing with dry fly's, nymphs, egg patterns,
fry sculpin and streamers. A floating line is often used for
Salmon as well. In some cases a sink tip line works better for
Salmon. This sink tip is normally only three to five feet in
length. A heavier sink tip is usually used for King Salmon as
well as early season Rainbows in fast deep water.
Clothing & 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.
Leaders & Tippet
Bring an assortment of
leaders. Nine or ten foot tapered leaders in 6x to 3x are most
often used. Five or six of each size should be sufficient.
Bring tippet in 6x to 1x. The fluorocarbon tippet materials
seem to be best.
Reels
Any reel will work but one
with a good drag is best for the strong native fish that you
will be catching.
Flies
No See Um Lodge will furnish all of
your flies. You may also bring some favorites from home.
Be sure to include:
Polaroid fishing glasses.
Needle nose pliers for releasing fish. A good pair of nippers.
A camera and lots of film. Insect repellent and a head net if
you are extremely sensitive to bugs.
