We’re in between seasons here at Deneki Outdoors, and for us, that’s as close as we get to an ‘off-season.’ However, as we get closer and closer to winter, for many of us that means the off-season, and time to figure out how to feed the fishing addiction until the next season or trip. After…

A Beautiful Day in Alaska
It might not look like ideal weather to most, but when we’re chasing salmon in Western Alaska, we long for days like this.. Bright sunny days can make for epic trout fishing, but dark, gloomy, and down right miserable looking days means happy salmon, and we like that. More on Salmon Fishing The High Sun Game Plan…

Fishing From a Boat – Cast Downstream!
At our Alaskan operations, we’re really lucky to have access to some extremely diverse trout fisheries. At any point during the season at Alaska West, we target trout by sight fishing for rainbows in side channels, fishing the main river on foot, or fishing from our jet boats ‘drift boat style.’ The beauty of our river is that trout can…

Keep ’em Close!
We recently came across this cool shot of a silver salmon caught on the swing by Alaska West guest, Craig Kopcyzk. It reminded us of a great piece of advice from Deneki alum Cameron Miller on taking good fish photos.. Leave the fish close to the water! Not only is it much, much better on the…

Bonefish!

Be Nice to the Juveniles
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
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…
