Question:

Hi Brad! Hope you are well. I will be traveling into Alaska from Pennsylvania next July 18th for a week of fishing. Do you offer any fly kits that can cover a vast selection of species? I will be using a 5wt and 8wt. Will be traveling around the Girdwood area and fishing in a two hour radius from there. Was hoping for some tips on what types of lures we can purchase prior. Thank you!

Answer:

Hi Tanner,

Thank you for reaching out to us. There is some fun fishing to be had by Girdwood. Most of the clearer streams should have dolly varden in them and some will have reds returning. On the longer drives, you can head down the Sterling Highway and  some of the water towards the Kenai or hang a right at Gulch Creek and head down towards Hope and see what the Resurrection River is doing.

Mike will reach out to you very soon and will have some fun ideas for you to check out. If you have any questions, he’ll be able to get you some good answers.

Best,

AFFG
