Hi Brad, I’m headed to Ketchikan and Prince of Wales in late April to try for steelhead and trout. Any recommendations on Streamers or other flies? Also I hear it might be worth bringing the bead collection, but any in particular I should consider stocking up on? As always appreciate your advice. Hope you all are having a good winter up north! — Best, Sam 2024-03-02T20:35:58-09:00| Read More
Hello, I will be in Juneau on June 4th all day during a stop on my Alaskan cruise, I would like to do some fly fishing but don’t want to spend like $500 on a guide, I am wondering A. Where should I go to fish (I will have my own rod and waders) and B. What kind of fish can I catch that time of year at these locations? Thank you! 2024-02-29T16:10:23-09:00| Read More
Hi – I recently bought some Dali Llama flies from you for Do it yourself on rivers near Nome in August (Have had astounding fishing there). But looking for any advice on Aleutians – specifically Amchitka. Going for work in May/June. Dollies in small lakes and streams – plan on some midges, pupae, and small streamers. Any other advice would be welcome. Also if there’s anything worth throwing to along coastlines/harbors would be welcome (sea-run dollies/trout/salmon). 2024-02-28T06:56:52-09:00| Read More
I’m heading to Goodnews Bay in August and I’m wondering if there are other particular streamers I should tie besides clousers and dolly llamas. And perhaps any other suggestions for flies on the rivers and creeks in that area? Dan 2024-02-23T10:56:38-09:00| Read More
We will be there on July 18th. I am an avid trout fisherman here in the mtns of North Carolina and have fished The Snake River in Jackson Hole and many rivers in and around Yellowstone Park. This will be my first trip to Alaska and would love to get a chance to flyfish a river or stream there. Do you have guides …… or can you recommend a few for me to make contact with?

I’m coming in to Juneau on a cruise ship in May. Your website was a huge help. I want to thank you, and buy one of these Dolly Varden/Cutthroat boxes. I’d like to pick it up in the store. Happy to pay for it now or as we get closer. I’ll be renting a car to DIY fish in Juneau and my first stop will be your shop to get the current fishing report and pick up at least my fly box. Let me know if I can work this out with you ahead of time. Thanks again for the info on the website. I booked 3 trips with the guides you recommended on my trip.
