Fishing Attire

Helly Hansen suits and rubber boots are provided for your fishing days. The Helly Hansen suits are a lighter-weight material than our previous suits therefore please pack additional layering items for underneath.

Luggage

Luggage is strictly limited to 25 pounds per person including any fishing gear you bring. Bags over 25 pounds may be denied carriage. We have free, secured lock-up storage available in Vancouver for your excess baggage and would be happy to store it for you. Please pack your gear in soft-sided luggage for ease of aircraft loading.

Carry-On Luggage

Due to limited space on helicopters your luggage will not arrive on the same helicopter you do. Please pack your fishing clothing in your carry on baggage so that you are able to get out on the water as soon as you arrive at the lodge.
