King Rig Roundup

Kanektok Kings – an embarassment of riches.

Over the past couple of months, we’ve posted the two-handed rigs of six guys who spend a lot of time at Alaska West swinging flies for king salmon. There’s a wealth of information, and a wide range of opinions, in these posts.

If you’re headed to Alaska West this summer, or if you like spey fishing, or king salmon, or steelhead, you should have a look at how the best in the business set themselves up when they swing flies on two-handed rods in pursuit of big chrome anadromous fish.

    Hi Carl,

    Thank you very much for being in touch, we had a great 2019 season at Alaska West. Here’s a link to some of our lady anglers who joined us during our King run, https://deneki.com/2019/08/queens-who-play-kings/.

    Are you interested in a trip? Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to help.

    Our best,
