4 Reasons You Should Get Travel Insurance For Your Fly Fishing Trip To Alaska Or Anywhere Else

Alaska has vast and untamed landscapes beckoning anglers worldwide to experience the thrill of fly fishing in its pristine waters for massive fish. From chasing after a variety of salmon to casting lines amidst breathtaking scenery for trophy-size rainbow trout, a fly fishing trip to Alaska promises unforgettable moments and unmatched natural beauty. For all, it’s the ultimate adventure in fly fishing. For some, it’s a trip of a lifetime. Amid the excitement of planning your adventure, one crucial aspect often gets overlooked: travel insurance. Here are 4 reasons you should obtain travel insurance, not just a precaution but a necessity like your waders for your fly fishing escapade in Alaska.

1. Protection against Trip Cancellations or Interruptions: Life happens and is unpredictable. Sometimes, unforeseen circumstances can disrupt our travel plans. Travel insurance can cover trip cancellations or interruptions, whether a sudden illness, a family emergency, or unexpected weather conditions. With travel insurance, you can protect your investment and receive reimbursement for non-refundable expenses such as lodge reservations, flights, and other pre-paid arrangements.

2. Medical Emergencies and Evacuation: When embarking on any outdoor adventure like fly fishing in Alaska or anywhere else, there is always a risk of accidents or injuries. Travel insurance can provide coverage for medical emergencies, ensuring you have access to necessary healthcare services, especially in remote locations. Additionally, in a severe medical situation that requires evacuation or repatriation. Many travel insurance policies include 24/7 emergency assistance services, providing you with access to medical referrals, travel assistance, and coordination of emergency evacuations if needed. All that said take it to the next level. Ask questions and get a list of service providers in the area you are going to.

3. Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Gear: Let’s be reel. Fishing gear is NOT inexpensive, and we all know it. Anglers understand the value of their fishing gear, which often includes expensive rods, reels, and other equipment. Travel insurance can cover replacement or repair costs in the unfortunate event of lost, stolen, or damaged gear. This can save you from significant financial loss.

4. Travel Delay or Missed Connections: Travel delays and missed connections can be frustrating and impact your overall trip experience. Travel insurance can compensate you for additional expenses incurred due to these delays, such as accommodation, meals, and transportation.

6. Peace of Mind and Enjoyment: Ultimately, having travel insurance for your fly fishing trip to Alaska offers peace of mind and allows you to fully immerse yourself in the experience. Whether battling wild salmon, rainbow trout, dolly varden, and Arctic Char or marveling at the majestic landscapes, knowing that you’re protected against unforeseen events enhances your enjoyment and relaxation during the journey.

There are a variety of travel insurance companies out there that cover most situations. Seven Corners or Travel Insured International will cover most situations. Global Rescue provides additional insurance explicitly focusing on medical extraction, care, and getting you home. It wouldn’t hurt to start with your own insurance company to see if they provide such a service. There is something to say for companies focusing solely on travel insurance. Regardless of who you decide to use, make sure to ask the right questions:

  • What does it cover? 
  • What are the deductibles?
  • Who provides extraction services? 

Whether saltwater fishing in The Bahamas or on a fly fishing adventure in Alaska, you will embark on thrilling experiences and create unforgettable, fun memories. It’s crucial to prioritize your safety and preparedness. Investing in travel insurance safeguards your financial investment and ensures you can focus on what truly matters—savoring every moment of your fly fishing expedition without worries or regrets. Happy fishing!
