We took 6 & 8 wt rods with us. In the upper river we stuck to the 6 wt. When the silvers showed up we changed to 8 wt. We actually broke 2 9 wt rods on the first silvers we ran into. Mine exploded on the first silver I hooked. The other was a mistake of trying to land a silver in too deep of water. The fish swam between his legs and that was the end of that rod. We shared the last 8 wt the rest of the trip.
Going through Papa Bears you are probably looking at 1500.00ea. which will get you (a party of 3), the plane ride out, the boat pick up and raft rental. Of course the rest of the equipment is up to you. They have rental equipment available if you need. They are really there to make this enjoyable for you and your group. Airfare is not included. This year I told my group it was going to cost about 2500.00 each. We figured out a way to take our own boat. That saved a lot. This is not a place to bring your 20.00 tent or your leaky waders. The more dry you stay the more you will enjoy your trip.
As far as set up for the trip, if you use a reputable outfitter they are there to help you.
