An Introduction to Salmon on The Fly - Salmon Fly Fishing - (No Flossing!)

This is a vlog of a recent trip in Alaska. Salmon fly fishing is a lot of fun, these are some things I have learned over the years chasing Salmon in remote areas. This trip focuses on Silver or Coho Salmon and pink Salmon, but touches on all 5 species including sockeye (Red), chinook(King), and chum (dog) salmon.

    @carponthefly8282 I guided for Salmon and Halibut for 11 seasons out of Craig, and Ketchikan. I miss it.

    I haven’t seen black be as effective for Alaska, but I will have to test it some more next year.

    Thanks - I really enjoyed the footage. Curious about whether you you fish the silvers with poppers at all? I just got back from a place on the Alaska Peninsula where I've fished for many years. I do pink poppers almost exclusively and it's such a blast. I'm wondering if the silvers in the stream(s) you were fishing would respond to topwater.

    Yes, they didn’t seem to respond much this time, but there were very few in the rivers because of the lack of rain. I’m sure if we had stuck with them longer we could have picked up a few, but the numbers just didn’t make it very efficient for our trip.

    Lol, I don’t get to choose the adds. They are based on your viewing preferences. So was this an admission of something? I’m kidding, but I don’t have a choice what KZread shows.
