We all love fishing for trout with surface flies, and in our neck of the woods, there’s nothing quite like watching a trout inhale a rodent.. However, at the end of the day, its arguable that the most effective way to chase these big Alaskan bad boys over the course of a season is to…

Sage X Rods – Interview With George Cook
When Sage unveiled their latest X family of fly rods, we were shocked to hear it would be replacing one of their most popular rod series of all time – the ONE. Could they really improve upon the ONE? Like many of you, we had our questions.. That’s why we reached out to Deneki pal, George…

Watch Your Mouth
Despite the vibrant red stripe on the majority of our trout in Western Alaska, the dark mottled back of a rainbow trout provides surprisingly good camouflage – an adaptation developed to protect from predators from above. Even in clear water, that can make them difficult to spot to the untrained eye, especially from a moving boat….

Hatch Nippers
Over the last five years or so, premium line nippers have grown incredibly popular among fly fishing gear junkies like ourselves. Since their introduction, high-end nippers have sparked the debate – why pay for top shelf nippers, when a five-dollar pair of fingernail clippers can get the same job done? Well, we’re not here to make a…
