Weather During Alaska fly fishing
guide school
Alaska weather can be
unpredictable. It is wise to dress in layers, preparing from temperatures ranging from
40 degrees to as high as 80 degrees. It also may mist or downpour, so a quality
rain suit is imperative on your trip to Alaska to keep you warm and protected from the elements.
The Alaska Adventures fly fishing
guides schools Fishing Program:
The goal at Alaska Adventures
fly fishing guide school is to take advantage of the many fly fishing opportunities for the various species while they are in their prime seasonal runs. To accomplish this, each day you will be
jet boated out to one of our 3 rivers accessible from the lodge, depending on the species that you are interested in. Each evening, Lodge staff will confer with you to see what kind of experience you are up for. The
instructor guides will then get the necessary gear put together in the tackle room. The next morning, after breakfast, you'll board one of
our jetboats and head out with your instructor/guide (or to a spike camp with an
instructor/guide waiting) to one of the
3 world class, and in some cases world famous, rivers and streams of this region.
