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

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
