Alaska Fly Fishing

All the popular species of Alaskan fish can readily be caught on flies except for the ocean dwelling halibut. Since the water, fish, and flies will be large heavy tackle is called for. An 8 to 9 foot rod with 8 weight line will handle most fish. A 10 weight outfit will serve best if you intend to fish for King Salmon which may weigh more then 50 lbs. A 6 weight rod will provide more sport if you intend to fish for grayling or trout in small waters. Pack multiple's of whichever rod you intend to use most, most fishing in Alaska is remote and broken equipment will be difficult or impossible to replace.

Besides multiple rods you will also want to pack multiple fly lines including slow and fast sinking types as well as floating lines. Alaska fishing takes place at a broad range of depths and current speeds so you will need the proper line to put your fly in front of the fish to catch them effectively. All your lines should also be backed with at least 100 yards of 18-25 lb backing.

    The Alaska Chronicles: An Unwashed View of Life, Work, and Fly FishingThe Alaska Chronicles: An Unwashed View of Life, Work, and Fly Fishing

    On September 20, 2007, Miles Nolte posted the final installment of his summer job memoir on The Drake magazine's Internet message board.

    For seventeen weeks, Nolte had used his laptop and a satellite Internet connection to transmit his semi-daily account of what it's really like to be a fly fishing guide on a remote Alaskan river. Sitting in his tent above a river packed with migrating salmon and gluttonous trout, he wrote about anglers that he enjoyed guiding and others that he couldn't wait to get rid of. He described epic fishing days and days of bitter disappointment. He typed about wolves and eagles and beavers and bears. Lots of bears. There were periods of sunny weather and dry flies, followed by stretches of relentless rain, wind, and cold. And beyond the trials that nature doled out, Miles also described how overworked outboards don't always start, tents sometimes catch fire, and dysfunction often runs rampant among divergent guide and client personalities that are thrust together in a desolate and trying environment.

    By the time Miles returned from Alaska, his online musings had attracted a loyal and vicarious following of anglers and guides from around the world. They praised him for his articulate candor, and they thanked him profusely for transporting them with each new post to a place they may have otherwise never reached.

    Departure Publishing is proud to present The Alaska Chronicles, a fishing guide's memoir that originated and evolved in a most unusual manner. If you've ever fished Alaska, or if you hope to someday, this book will leave you with an insightful view of the outfitting business and a newfound appreciation for North America's most pristine and prolific coldwater fishery.
