There are plenty of reasons to love high mountain lake fishing: it’s quiet because there are no jet-skis, less crowded because fewer people hike into the wilderness, and you’re pretty likely to catch a fish, since many states stock their alpine lakes with trout and other fish.

Below, we’ve gathered a list of items you’ll need for an alpine fishing expedition. Some items, such as a strong folding knife, will be used primarily for cleaning fish. Others, like LED flashlights, will come in handy for setting up camp and surviving emergency situations. This list is for day hikers; you’ll need to consult backpacking guides for more items to bring on a multi-day fishing tour.

What to Pack: Fishing Gear

1. Lures, to catch fishes’ interest. Trout lures are popular on high-mountain fishing trips, since most states stock their lakes with trout species. There are separate trout lures for drop-line and fly-fishing. Typically, alpine fishermen carry small lures, since the higher one goes in altitude, the smaller the fish (and their corresponding lures) will be.

2. A Light Fishing Rod. It’s smart to pack a fly rod that can be split into different pieces for travel. A lightweight, easy-to-pack spinning rod is a good choice for those who don’t do fly-fishing.

3. An LED Headlamp is helpful for fishing trips because it keeps your hands free to reel in, net, and clean fish. Many dedicated anglers get started before the sun rises, because fish are generally most active at dawn and dusk. And LED headlamp is a necessity in such cases. The ideal fishing LED headlamp will include a dimming capacity, like that of the HL7 Focusing LED Headlamp by COAST. A dimming feature allows you to extend battery life, preserve night vision, and avoid alerting the fish to your presence.

The rest of your fishing gear should be chosen according to your expertise level, and the location where you’ll be dropping your line.

What to Bring: Hiking Gear

1. Water – a minimum of two liters per camper.

2. A Map – You’ll have an easier time finding your way if your trail map includes elevation information.

3. A cell phone, for emergency situations.

4. Reliable hiking boots, ideally waterproof. Some anglers will also want to bring water shoes or waders.

5. First aid supplies, including cortisone, ibuprofen, bandages, and other fundamental health items.

6. Sunscreen and Bug Spray. Wear a hat; slather on sunscreen every two hours, and keep the insects at bay with repellant.

7. A GPS system and/or a Compass, to help you find your way if you get off track.

8. An LED headlamp and/or LED flashlights, as a safety measure. Should you happen to get stuck in the backcountry, you’ll thank your lucky stars that you thought to pack the LED flashlights. From constructing a shelter to capturing the attention of rescue parties, LED lights are invaluable for survival situations.

Those who plan to camp out overnight should consider bringing LED camping lanterns as well. LED camping lanterns bring all the benefits of LED flashlights (extremely bright light, long bulb and battery life, and exceptional energy efficiency), but with the bonus advantage of providing ambient illumination for a whole campsite. To keep your hands free during food preparation and other camp tasks, it’s smart to pack an LED headlamp, too.

Driving vacations are fun, but with high fuel prices, it may be out-of-reach for many families this year. As an alternative, consider driving to a close destination and staying there. The advantage of course is you are not traveling each day, so you are not using any fuel, except for the day(s) to get there and back.

For your destination vacation this year, have you considered renting an RV? Usually RV rental agencies charge by the day or week, and many include some free miles and generator hours each day in their rental rate. Weekly rates vary, but with some research, I found the following RVs and their weekly rate:

* Pop-up trailer – $475
* 25′ travel trailer – $650
* 26′ motorhome (with 200 miles and 4 hours of generator time free per day) – $860

In comparison, many resorts charge $200 to $300 per night to rent a cabin or hotel room and with a hotel room, you most likely won’t be able to cook your own meals.

RV Resorts usually have all the amenities of regular resorts, except you stay in your RV instead of living in a cabin or hotel room. Be sure to pick a resort that has plenty of activities for everyone of all ages to participate in. Most RV resorts are geared toward families so they have playgrounds, a pool, mini-golf, a clubhouse, etc. Many also offer hayrides, guided nature hikes, fishing, outdoor movies and other activities too numerous to mention. Some resorts even employ an activities director whose sole job is to ensure there are activities for everyone to enjoy. With a little research, you should be able to find a nice RV resort within a day’s drive from your home. With an RV, you could even split your vacation between two RV resorts.

Of course, the other advantage of staying in an RV is you can cook your own meals (of which some can be cooked over an open campfire). Food tastes better when cooked over an open fire. For those on a restricted diet or that eat light (or big eaters for that matter), being able to prepare your own meals can help you stay on track both calorie and budget-wise. As everyone knows, eating out gets expensive real quick and you have less control over what you can order.

Plus living in an RV for a week is just plain fun, mostly because it is likely different from what you have done in the past. By renting an RV, you can provide a vacation that your family will talk about for years to come and not break the bank. Be sure to make your RV reservation early though as your choice of dates dwindles the closer it gets to prime vacation time.
