    The Black Krystal Bugger in #12 is perfect when you need a small bugger to mimic a lake leech or other little aquatic creature. At just over 1 inch in total length it is stealthy but still big enough to attract a trout.

    When you need a small bugger to mimic a lake leech or other small aquatic creature, check out the Olive Krystal Bugger in #12. At just over 1 inch in total length it is stealthy but still big enough to attract a trout.

    We should rename this fly the Cutthroat Krystal Bugger! Cutts love orange and this bite-sized morsel is just the ticket for them. It fishes really well in both creeks and lakes. At just over 1" in length it is stealthy but still attracts their attention.

    There is something about a white krystal bugger that drives Alaskan trout crazy. Whether you are fishing creeks or lakes, this is a great change up fly to have in your box. At just over 1 inch in total length it is stealthy but still big enough to attract a trout.

    The Golden Stone Perpetrator cleans house on early season trout when swung in the rivers of Bristol Bay. Cutts and Rainbows of Southeast, AK dig this pattern when fished in lakes and ponds. Don't forget steelhead too, they love a realistic buggy looking nymph, especially in low clear water. The Perpetrator is tied on a shank with a #6 trailing hook.

    Buggy and not too flashy is a great way to catch spooky fish. Trout and grayling that are a little spooky will often go for a more subdued pattern like the classic Beadhead Pheasant Tail.

    A real "go-to" pattern in late June and July. Try dropping a Micro May Fly or Lightning Bug off the back for rainbows. We have them in the "Big Boy" #10 size, too! Grayling love them all season long, as well.

    Deceptively simple but deadly effective, the Iliamna Pink is the slightly fresher egg of the two. Billy's Krystal Egg has proven itself a trout slayer over the years. They are just the right size and color and the gold bead and bit of Krystal Flash take them over the top. An AFFG Exclusive fly you won't find anywhere else.

    The Late Pink Billy's Crystal Egg imitates an egg that has been in the water a little longer. Deceptively simple but deadly effective. Billy's Krystal Egg has proven itself a trout slayer over the years. They are just the right size and color and the gold bead and bit of Krystal Flash take them over the top.

    Black Gnats are deadly on grayling! And in some rivers, grayling will refuse just about every other fly. Make sure to have some Black Gnats in your box.

    Check out Bob's Booty Mouse! Big predatory trout are mesmerized by the way this bad girl shakes her thing while dancing across the river. The upturned barbless #4 stinger allows you to fish this fly in and around structure, off of grassy cut banks and right up against the log jams. A 6mm bead and dubbed orange butt takes this fly over the top.  A 'must have' for any angler heading to Alaska or Kamchatka.

    The Voodoo Leech is a jumbo-sized, mean leech that gets down in the strike zone, has terrific flowing action in the water, and hooks up a variety of big fish. At 4 inches in length it is a big bite. The long flowing black leech with lead eyes and a flame head would be enough to attract steelhead, coho and big bows, but add in a skirt of  hot pink silicone legs and it is almost too much!

    Brett's Klamath Intruder from Aqua Flies is perfect when you want a small offering that still pops in the water. The Blue Black version is a top steelhead color and also will get big grabs from spring rainbow trout. Brett's Klamath Intruder is a mere 1 3/4" in length. It is tied on a tiny 15mm shank and has an Octopus #4 hook. If the hook gets damaged you can swap it out for a new one. It has tiny lead eyes so you will want to fish it with a sink tip line or a bit of weight to get it down.

    The Captain Kirk flesh fly was designed by our friends at Newhalen Lodge. It is an ultra-effective swinging fly for Rainbows and Dollies. It is tied in the same style as a Dolly Llama but is much lighter and easier to cast.

    During those times when grayling and rainbows get ultra fussy, the Griffith's Gnat can save the day. The CDC tuft on this fly makes seeing this tiny little fly a whole lot easier.

    Alaskan trout in lakes can often be enticed with a big fly that is stripped in. They don't get much bigger or juicier than the Chernobyl Ant. This fly will leave you with a grin when that big trout, grayling or pike engulfs it.

    The Chernobyl Ant Black Red is just the ticket when you need a high-floating, attractor-style dry fly.  The red under body is like a bullseye for trout (especially cutthroat!) and the orange & white "sighters" on top make tracking this fly in the water simple.

    Rainbows, grayling and cutthroat are all suckers for a big dry fly now and then. Early season in the rivers or lake fishing any time, the Black Chernobyl Ant can be dead drifted or stripped with great success.

    Chubby Chernobyl’s float high, imitate a number of different insects on the surface, are very lifelike on the water.  You can drop a nymph (or bead!) off the back of them, and they drive trout crazy.

    This wicked little fry pattern is a fish catcher. Just a hint of flash from the pearlescent body, a sparse squirrel tail wing, big eyes and a red throat. All packed in a one-inch-long fly.

    When a darker pattern is in order, the Black Chumpy is ideal. This fly really fishes well in dark, off-color or tannic water.

    All pink Clousers are money! Fat sea run Dollies and Cutts can't stay off them and silvers, chums, and pinks crush them on sight. You won't find this fly anywhere but at AFFG.

    The "Cop Car" AK Clouser is one of those stealthy color combos. It is one of our favorite "under the radar" silver flies in a #2. And it's a deadly salmon smolt imitation for spring rainbows and Dolly Varden.

    The All Black Clouser Minnow is a stealthy coho fly as well as a dynamite rainbow trout pattern. The solid black with a hint of green flash is all it takes to make it happen.

    If you could only choose one color of this fly it would be Dirty Sock. This is the color that opened our eyes to this pattern. After a 4th completely tangled bead rig on a small stream, it was really nice to swing this fly with on a floating line with no split shot, indicator or anything else and catch a ton of fish!

    Frosted Flesh is the change up color to try when tan or white are not producing. Fish it on a floating line or a short fast sink tip.

    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 Zuddler in Black is a premier searching fly for big trout. There are streams in Bristol Bay where this fly outfishes all others. The Kenai River has given up some massive winter rainbows on it, too.

    We usually lead off with Black Zuddlers and if they aren't producing the Olive goes on next. A great sculpin-leech pattern that big trout love. Killer lake cutthroat or rainbow fly, too.

    The original Copper Johns are just effective as ever. After the spring fry migration and before the late summer egg drop this is a killer rainbow fly. This late-June through July window provides the best opportunity to fish traditional dries and nymphs. Grayling will jump on this fly all summer, too.

    We carry Copper Johns in just the right sizes and colors for Alaska! The Red Copper Johns are very effective on rainbow trout and grayling.

    Check out Cousin It in a Hot Orange attractor pattern color. This is the perfect crossover between a mouse and a gurgler. Skate or swing this fly over spawning salmon and watch the trout come out and crush it! Cousin It is a foam-backed, super buoyant stinger mouse. The fur body slicks down when it gets wet and is very realistic in the water while the rubber legs add another layer of realism. Easy to cast and super fishy, this fly should be in your mouse fly arsenal!

    The Extra Virgin is a light olive version of the Crispy Critter. Fish this 3 1/4 inch long articulated sculpin on a sink tip or with a split shot right in front of it. The spun deerhair makes a commotion under water and the synthetic dubbed body breaks up its profile. Give one a try.
  • The Crispy Critter is an entirely new take on the articulated sculpin. It is virtually unweighted so ...
    The Crispy Critter is an entirely new take on the articulated sculpin. It is virtually unweighted so it should be fished either on a sink tip or with a split shot on the leader (or both.) The spun deerhair makes a commotion under water and the synthetic dubbed body breaks up its profile. A very fishy little pattern.

    From the vise of well know angler Jerry Darkes, comes the Naknek Sockeye Smolt. The rabbit strip body wiggles and dances like a wounded smolt while the spun deer hair head imparts buoyancy. Fish it on a floating line for the smolt bust or on a sink tip when the rainbows are holding deeper.
  • Trout Spey anglers take note: Darkes' Red Eye Tube Sculpin is easy to cast, super fishy and rainbows ...
    Trout Spey anglers take note: Darkes' Red Eye Tube Sculpin is easy to cast, super fishy and rainbows hammer this fly. You can swing or strip them with great success. Plus you can swap out the hook if it gets damaged.

    Heavy lead eyes get this fly down to the fish. The marabou body gives this small profile fly good action. Dollies absolutely go berserk for this fly all through the salmon spawn!

    The White Deep Six might be a color you wouldn't think of......but when coho are rolling slowly on the surface and not taking flies, white is the secret color.

    The black Deuce Wigalo is the perfect searching fly in low water. The flame red eyes with a lime trailing bead pretty much seal the deal on spooky fish. Perfect for rainbows and steelies alike.

    Is there anything more exciting than swinging a surface fly and watching a huge V-Wake appear behind it? That is just what happens when Alaskan rainbows key in on mice. Check out this selection of Grade A Prime trout food.

    The Dirty Hippy is a killer smolt and sculpin pattern. A conehead hidden under the head gives it a bit of weight and the soft materials make it quiver in the water. Swing this pup on a sink tip and hang on!
  • The Steelhead Pink version of the Dirty Hoh is a light pink in color and is a more subdued offering ...
    The Steelhead Pink version of the Dirty Hoh is a light pink in color and is a more subdued offering than a lot of Hot Pink steelhead flies. We've found that big rainbows love this fly, too. Actually, just about every fish in an Alaskan river will eat these!

    The Black & Olive Dolly Llama is a killer trout fly. All the action and motion of a Dolly Llama in a deadly color combination. One of our favorite searching flies early in the season.

    The Black and Red Dolly Llama is just the ticket for big rainbows and arctic char.  For small streams or wary fish try the #6. The #2 is a salmon and steelhead fly.

    The one that started it all. The Black & White Dolly Llama is the #1 color for trout and char and is also amazingly effective on salmon and steelhead. If you could only have one fly to fish all of Alaska, for every species, this would be it!
