Question:
Good day, I'm going to island point lodge on June 16th for a week. I've been there 2 yrs ago and fun catching big kings on spinner. This year I want to try fly. What do you recommend to use. I have a 9 weight outfit. I plan on fishing blind slough in petersburg.
Thank you for any recommendations in advance

Answer:
Hi Rodger,
There are two ways the fly guys are targeting kings on the fly at Blind Slough; drifting large yarn egg patters and swing/stripping big streamers. I personally haven’t fished Blind Slough, but we have a couple of very similar fisheries here in Juneau. The fly anglers that I have helped before have done pretty well. What type of line do you have your 9wt set up with (floating, sink tip, etc…?) Please shoot me an email to mike@alaskaflyfishinggoods.com and I will put together some fly, leader, and line (if needed) recommendations. I’ll also give you a quick run down on the techniques.
Tight Lines,
Mike
