THE ELECTRO WADING STAFF IS HERE
Does the added stability of a wading staff appeal to you? Do marauding bears sometimes ruin your fishing day by mauling you?
I think we can all answer yes to these two questions. Now we have just the product to solve these two inter related problems.
THE ELECTRO-WADING STAFF!
How it works: Simply slip on the backpack loaded with three full size car batteries. Attach the wires connecting the batteries to the staff and you are ready to fish in bear country. When that 800lb bruin gets a little too close send him a non-lethal but memorable message. Make sure to switch the power off before using the staff in water.

TOP WATER SCULPINS!
By Ivan “The Irish Lord” McDooley
For years, this fearsome predator of the estuary has received little notice and even less respect. The saltwater sculpin (aka the Double Ugly) prowls the shallows of Alaskan saltwater beaches, looking for an easy meal. Fly anglers looking for sea run trout or salmon would all too often feel that unmistakable tug. The stripped streamer coming to a sudden stop, and the enthusiastic hook set followed by just enough resistance to get your heart rate up. But no violent head shake followed. No scorching run. Just a flat dead weight that felt kind of like foul hooking a plastic grocery bag… Bummer.
But all that changed when Alaska Fly Fishing Goods Angling Exploration team made a discovery. Sculpins are active pursuers of DRY FLIES! We all know that insects do not hatch in saltwater, but if the wind is just right to blow bugs out to sea and you happen to be standing on the beach with a 2-weight fly rod rigged with a dry fly, well then you are in for a treat.
With this exciting discovery, AFFG decided to be the FIRST in Alaska to offer fully guided trips for these denizens of the not so deep. Imagine casting a #16 Parachute Adams to these olive-backed risers as your guide prepares a delectable sculpin shore lunch. It is almost too much to think about.
Book your trip soon. Spaces are not filling up at this time but they could….

The creek is right out the back door and it has a large salmon run. We estimate the proportion of brown bears to salmon is one to one. Wow. That is a lot of bears.
MOSQUITO GULCH – With the highest population density of biting insects in the world, this one of a kind destination had to make the list. Our week long trip combines marginal fishing and world class bug viewing.

You will be able to say you fished on the only PAVED river in the world. Talk about easy wading! Just watch out for the bottomless oil pits. We sent a group there last summer and are expecting to hear back from them any day now...
