Wondering what to pack for your fishing trip? Check our list of essentials to make your travel most comfortable and enjoyable.
The weather is generally quite warm during the day and cools off significantly at night. The temperature ranges from 50 – 80 degrees Fahrenheit. You do run into some colder days in early June and late August to September.
IT’S BEST TO DRESS IN LAYERS. A quality jacket and pants/bibs with a high waterproof rating like Gore-Tex is highly recommended if not mandatory. If you have a layer of lightweight long underwear and a warm fleece over it that will keep you toasty during cooler weather. Quick drying fabrics are great for shirts and pants, there are many brands out there such as Columbia who offer these. Waterproof boots will be needed in the rain.
** By packing LIGHT you can maximize the amount of fish you can take home.
We recommend medium to heavy action casting or spinning rods from 5 to 7 feet in length. Large spoons and plugs are best for Lakers and Northern Pike. Light spinning tackle and small lures or fly equipment is best for Arctic Grayling.
