Why rent?
A basic pair of waders and boots costs $180 to $200. For a family of four that’s close to $1,000 before you’ve made a cast, for gear you may use once. Our rental gear is the same gear our guides use on their trips, sized and ready for Alaska rivers.
Felt-soled boots are banned in Alaska’s fresh waters, and every boot we rent is felt-free.
