Hi Dave,

I tried googling that sort of info, and was surprised to find that I
couldn't find anything. In a way, that makes it all the more
tempting, you know? Still, I was hoping for some kind of info.

I saw that there was an article written back in 2001, in Fish and Fly
Magazine, which would be a bit dated... but regardless, the back
issues of that issue have unfortunately sold out.

DIY is definitely my preference. But if it's impossible: does anyone
have any suggestions for outfitters or lodges?

(I'll have to DIY Alaska, one of these years, too. But over Xmas
break, I'd think.)

I believe one of the Trout Bum DVDs was of a Patagonia DIY. I know it's
doable, and have read reports from two different guys(locals) that have
done it. I'd link you over to the trip reports, but that forum has
changed, and I cannot find those reports. I'll try and see if I can dig
up an email address, or web link to one of the guys site. BTW, this same
guy has done solo, wilderness floats in Alaska, in an inflatable kayak.
