Hi Mr. Elfers, my name is Cody. C and I am a freshman at Hudson high school my family frequently heads up to Alaska with some friends and this year it would be our sixth trip up. I’m looking to find a good rod and reel combo for salmon fishing / combat. I fish along the Russian and the kenai by coopers landing, I’m getting sick of using spinning reels as fly rods to try flossing and would like to find good gear to go fishing. If you can get to this email it would be a pleasure to talk to you Thanks Cody. 2024-10-30T06:23:42-08:00| Read More
Hi Brad, Im from Burley, Idaho we are heading up to prince of wales sept 15-21st. Chasing coho on the klawock river. What flies would you recommend ? And are there any other runs going on in that area that I should be aware of ? Thank you for your help. Shay 2024-08-26T08:20:25-08:00| Read More
Hi… I’m coming to Juneau at the end of the week on business, first time visiting, and hoping to find a river nearby to fish for a half-day Saturday. I’ll have a rental car and my waders and either my 5 wt. or 8 wt. with me. Suggestions? Many thanks! — Jim Collins 2024-08-25T19:07:03-08:00| Read More
If I buy this spool (NV Spey 400-550), could you put backing on it? 2024-08-23T18:48:28-08:00| Read More
Is this Billy Pate anti reverse Salmon reel still available? My last Antireverse reel went down the Kenai in July never to be seen again. 2024-08-20T12:50:42-08:00| Read More
Hi Brad! I have two family members now living in Alaska who enjoy fly fishing and are beginning to tie their own flies. Is the complete pheasant skin a good option or should I get individual supplies. Thanks! 2024-08-17T16:47:39-08:00| Read More
Hello Brad, I was wondering what specifically is included in the Ultimate Coho Selection and also what would you recommend to customize the selection for the Situk river this September. Thanks, Mike Klein (303) 250-5518 2024-08-17T08:27:20-08:00| Read More
what hooks do you use in your flies, specifically egg sucking leaches and woolly buggers 2024-08-16T18:36:24-08:00| Read More
anyhow – we’re going to stay at Greg Diereck’s lodge and he lists some flies I don’t normally fish on the Akwe. We pretty much fish Dolly Llamas and (black and white) and Clousers in chartruse. Do you think I should bring different flies that they list to the Tsiu? 2024-08-15T14:21:32-08:00| Read More
Brad, Joe Peterson here. Hope you’re well buddy. Our anual trip to the Akwe is cancelled this year because the dude the flies us out there crashed and is missing. Sad situation and we’re hopeful that someone picks up those routes next year. But instead, we’re going to fish the Tsiu. 2024-08-15T14:17:56-08:00| Read More
