Greetings, I’m interested in purchasing your Dolly Llama Tie twenty salmon color kit. My goal is to tie flies for upcoming Kenai Silver season. My question is, what size are the hooks included in your kit? Not familiar with Gamakatsu sizing. Ideally I would prefer using hooks size #1 or #1/0 for my flies. Are the ones included in this size range? Thank you, Bert V. 2025-07-25T15:35:05-08:00| Read More

Just bought an Orvis seven wait 13 foot Clearwater spey rod with an Orvis, SSR disk Reel. I will be fishing it on the Kenai river in the net neck river primarily my friend and Guide told me it needs to be set up with backing, running line something like a 30 to 40 pounds slick shooter then to a Skagit head 575 grain And a medium MOW tip and a heavy MOW tip can you help me with these items and what is the cost? 2025-07-20T11:42:09-08:00| Read More

There’s an opener for Kings each July in Puget Sound where I fish from the beach. I don’t enjoy casting the heavy Dolly Llama all day, especially in any wind at all. Can you recommend a few easier-to-cast patterns that might work for Kings in saltwater? Thank-you, David Nelson 2025-07-19T06:54:01-08:00| Read More

Hey Brad…I am heading for a week trip to Alaska in early September. I am going to be fishing on the east side of Alaska peninsula approx. 50 miles SE of Beacharof Lake. We will be fishing for Silvers along the shore and inland for Dollys. What flies do you recommend? I’ll be using an 8 wt for silvers and 6 wt for Dollys. I’ve already got several flies in my cart but wanted to get some recommendations from you. Steve 2025-07-10T12:21:47-08:00| Read More
