FLIES

Home/FLIES

Fishing in Alaska requires unique flies. Alaskan trout and char have a far different diet, and prefer very different flies, than trout that live elsewhere. Salmon and steelhead usually want an attractor pattern of a certain size, color and profile. Matching the right fly with the conditions you will face is the difference between catching a few fish and having a day of a lifetime.

We have the largest selection of Alaska fly fishing flies available anywhere. Whether you are catching salmon, trout, char, or grayling, we have the flies you need.

How do you know which fly patterns to buy? Our knowledgeable staff can help! Call (907) 586-1550 or email us for more information.

    The Black & Pink Metal Head Tube is money for steelhead. It is also a solid 'upriver sulky king' fly. The flowing marabou, nice profile and subtle pink mixed in all add up to a great fly.

    Metal Head Tube flies feature the unique Ultra Sonic Cone. The cone has venting holes that make it easy to lift the fly out of the water and simultaneously create a vortex behind the disc. This allows the marabou to flow in the current and not collapse in heavy water.

    Metal Head Tubes come ready to fish with junction tubing and a #2 hook that can be swapped out if it gets damaged. The fly is 2.5 inches in length.

    The Conehead Autumn Splendor is another big rainbow magnet. It is top flight searching fly that is money in deep runs and around root wads. Strip or swing this fly and hang on. The heavy cone gets it down and the rubber legs and profile wake up big predators. This fly is especially effective in the early season before the salmon arrive.

    The Alaskan S.T.S. Leech is equally adept at catching trout, steelhead and silvers. Early in the season, when everyone else is fishing black leeches for rainbows, pull out the Passion Pink STS. Trout love it! Steehead crush it. And come August, silvers pounce on it, too!

    The S.T.S. Leech in Creamsicle (white with an orange pearl head) is part of the 'deadliest flesh' collection. Try swinging it by log jams and over drop offs. Rainbows will come and get it! But don't count this guy out when it comes to steelhead and silvers. When the water is running slightly glacial or off color, throw this and hold on! Silvers off the beach in saltwater love this fly as well.
