Hi Brad, I was looking at the Redington Dually 8116-4 package on the website and it says that it comes with a Redington behemoth fly reel but in the picture it looks like the fly reel is a Echo. I was just wondering which reel actually comes with the package. I was also wondering how your price is so low because the dually by itself is a $300 rod and the behemoth is $120, as well as the Rio shooter line which is also $120. Do you get special pricing or something? Regards, Bohdi 2024-04-21T07:38:15-08:00| Read More
Hi Brad, I sent a email a few days ago. I am looking for a collection of flies for fishing Chignik (lakes and streams for trout, dollies, and sockeye) from early May to mid August. I was hoping you could help me pull together a selection of 24 flies. Greg 2024-04-09T17:57:47-08:00| Read More
We are looking at traveling to Alaska next May 2025 on a cruise that would stop in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Anchorage and Denali, Do you know which of these would have the best May Fishing opportunities? I really appreciated your cruise write up and was wondering if anything changed seasonally? 2024-04-08T03:13:51-08:00| Read More
Fishing the Situk out of Lenards Landing 7-27 for a week. You have box of flies for steelhead what would you change in that set to make it more specific to Pinks which is what we’re going after 2024-03-28T09:19:58-08:00| Read More
I’ve had good luck hooking fresh sockeyes on the Kenai and I made every attempt not to snag them and to avoid lining them. In clear water I have seen them grab the fly, especially a pink and purple maribou fly. Most people tell me they seldom hit flies but I disagree and I think I do better than the people flossing for sockeyes. Obviously the red ones are defensive and hit flies that get close but I am talking about silvery sockeyes on the upper Kenai. 2024-03-25T18:57:36-08:00| Read More
Hi, hope all is well. I’ll be fishing the Kanektok in mid-July and am looking to stock up on flies. What would you recommend? Thank you, Bryan 2024-03-22T18:49:39-08:00| Read More
Hi Brad. I will be making a trip to Juneau to visit my nephew from May 22nd to 26th. While there, I was planning to do some fly fishing with him. I plan to purchase the Spring sea-run Dolly Varden & cutthroat fly selection as coming from MT, my fly collection does not include any of these patterns. In the text it says; “We suggest fishing these flies on a floating line with a RIO 9 foot, 2x leader” and this is a bit puzzling to me. These flies seem to be subsurface flies. I have a RIO Premium Streamer tip 10-foot type 6 sink tip line on the reel I was planning to bring. Will the combination of these flies and the line I mentioned be a good set-up for fishing in the Juneau area toward the end of May? Thank you. Paul Koehler.
