FAQ Page - Eric Loomis Fishing


FAQ's What do I need to bring? Bring a camera for goodness sakes! Sunglasses, rain gear, warm layered clothing, sun block, a hat, and lots of film. You will also need to purchase an Alaska Fishing License and King Salmon Stamp (1day - $20, 2 day - $40, 7 day - $60, 14 day - $100) You may purchase these online at: http://www.admin.adfg.state.ak.us/license What about fish processing? You may take your catch to one of the local fish processors. They will vacuum seal and freeze the filets for approximately $1.30 per pound. They can even ship your catch home, or put it in fish boxes so you can take it as checked baggage on the flight home. Will we see wildlife? Yes! You have the opportunity to see bald eagles, moose, caribou, beavers, otters, and, of course, fish! You may also see bears on one of our fly-out trips. How are the accommodations? You will not be tent camping. The lodging we offer is first class and clean. Do we need to bring any fishing gear? No, all of our trips are fully guided and outfitted. You can bring your own fly gear for the Rainbow Trout Trips if you want, however, it is not necessary. What about meals? There are supermarkets and restaurants in town. Most guests eat a light breakfast, bring a cooler of food on the boats, and then eat at local restaurants for dinner. Just ask us for our recommendations! What about bag limits? The king salmon bag limit is 1 per day. Silver salmon is 2 per day. Halibut is 2 per day. Rainbow trout are catch and release only. What about mosquito's? Will the Alaskan variety really carry you away? On the Kenai peninsula, the numbers vary from year to year and with a little bug repellent you will be fine. There are locations in Alaska where a head net is helpful. Just double check with your local guide to find out what type of hatch it is. Is there really 24 hour daylight? Yes, Resident Alaskans live for the summer months of continuous daylight. It will be weird for people who are accustom to the sun going down, but don't worry, most lodging will have 'black out' shades for your convenience.
