Be Nice to the Juveniles

Dolly Varden at Alaska West

A couple months back we ran a post reminding you to be nice to non-targets, those species that voluntarily climb onto your fly when you’re on the search for something else. All fish deserved to be handled with care and if catching too many fish is the problem, that’s not a bad problem to have!…

Selecting Sink Tips

Spey Casting at Alaska West

When swinging flies for salmon and steelhead, a question we get asked a lot is ‘what sink tip should I use?’ or ‘how do I know what sink tip to start with?’ Like all things fly fishing, there is no rule of thumb that pertains to every situation. There are far too many variables from…

Fireweed

Fireweed

Our camp is located on the Kanektok River, and the crew spend over three months enjoying every change it has to offer on and off the water. Fireweed Chamerion angustifolium is…

Kasey started his morning yesterday planning to target silver salmon early in the morning and hoping to find the clowned up dolly varden of his dreams in the afternoon. Pretty typical day at Alaska West in August. What Kasey did not expect is that…

Adjustable Indicator Rigs

We’re on the back half of our season here in Alaska and that can only mean one thing.. It’s steak and eggs season! This time of year, our resident rainbow trout are taking full advantage of the continuous supply of salmon parts tumbling down river. Therefore, we ‘match the hatch’ and fish our share of flesh and…

Tying the Intruder Without a Dubbing Loop

Tying Intruders with Stuart Foxall

Last week, our buddy Stuart Foxall gave us a great tying tip on a better way to create dubbing balls when tying intruder style flies. Stuart is a commercial fly tyer/designer for Aqua Flies, and is a master at constructing modern intruder style flies (among many, many, other patterns). When Stu takes to the vise at Alaska…

Sage METHOD Switch Rod 6119-4 – Review

Sage METHOD 6119-4 Switch Rod Review by Deneki

Last year, we were fortunate to get a hold of the Sage METHOD 7126-4 spey rod for a week long testing on some hot Dean River steelhead at B.C. West. We loved it so much that when it came time to look for a new trout swinging stick we looked to the METHOD spey rod’s little…
