From the endlessly creative mind of Alaskan guide Jerry French, comes the Meat Lovers Special flesh fly. It is a "pocket size" flesh fly that won't spook trout when the water is low and clear. A few beads dangling out the back take it over the top! The fly is just under 2 inches in length.

Make sure to have these in your rainbow fly box if you are fishing in June and July!

The PMD is a common sight on Alaskan rivers in the morning. Make sure you have a few of these in your box if you are dry fly fishing early in the day. Lightly dressed and subtle but easy to see are the dun's calling card. Another great fly to drop off the back of a" big dry fly."

When the trout or grayling get fussy and refuse the usual dries you willl be glad you have a few of these in your box. This a great fly to drop off the back of a big Royal Wulff.

Late August through September can have some great hatches of large mayflies known as Gray Drakes. When these big guys are coming off, trout and grayling go to town.

The Gumdropper is a versatile little fly that can be fished in a variety of ways for trout and grayling. We love stripping it slowly in lakes for cutthroat. It also can be fished under an indicator (or big dry fly) as a fat emerger. It is also a perfect little swinging fly on your trout Spey rod! The matte black tungsten bead really gets it down in the strike zone, too.

Peachy King, along with Champagne, are the core two colors that need to be in your box. Peachy King is the ideal combination of a somewhat fresh egg that has been in the water a short while. Not as bright as a super fresh egg like Flame, but bright enough to grab the attention of trout and Dollies.

Don't over look these sweet little tandem flesh flies. They are unweighted, so they tumble and undulate just like flesh rolling along with the current and big trout vacuum them up! Originally designed for the Kenai, they have cleaned house all over Alaska from Bristol Bay to the Matsu.

Dirty Sock looks just like its name. Washed out tan and gray, it is a classic weighted flesh pattern that fishes extremely well when the flesh in the water has been there awhile and has lost its bright pink coloration.

If you are fishing in Bristol Bay or the Matsu in June or July, this fly is money. We have had folks come back from week long float trips where this was the #1 rainbow trout catching fly. Make sure to have a few in your box. Not only do they fish incredibly well, but they are easy to cast and can be thrown on a trout Spey rod quite nicely.

The Purple Fish Taco is one of our favorites for steelhead and kings. It is tied with a bit of pink on the rear of the shank that imparts a nice subtle pop of color.
Due to its light weight and slender profile this is a great fly in small or medium sized rivers. The ostrich and flash come alive in the water and it doesn't hang up at the end of the swing. If you are fishing the Sandy River or other Alaska Peninsula king rivers, the Fish Taco should be in your box.

The Olive Fish Skull Zonker is a great sculpin and small fish imitiation that can entice a hungry trout anytime. The keel weighted Fish Skull Head gives this fly a lot of motion when stripped. Try fishing this in spring and early summer and then again in the late fall. Swung or stripped, it will definitely turn a fish or two.
-

Fish Skull Zonkers are a beautifully tied update of the classic baitfish pattern. The Ice Queen version has a nice flashy belly and a white wing/tail that make it stand out in murky water. What really makes this fly pop though is the red throat. Whether the fish thinks the red is a flash of the gills or bleeding bait, who knows? What we do know is that trout devour this color combination, especially when fished in stillwater, slow moving streams or in the estuaries. The keel weighted Fish Skull Head gives this fly a lot of motion when stripped.

Big fish eat little fish and they don't care if they are the same species. The Rainbow version will entice big trout, from lakers to browns to monster rainbows, into wanting a tasty treat. The Fish Skull Stinger Zonker take the old classic zonker to another world. By adding the keel weighted Fish Skull and stinger hook, this pattern goes from dancing the Waltz to spinning the Tango. With the added movement and longer body, this pattern drives trout crazy.
