Alaska 2004 dreaming

I have wanted to go Alaska fly fishing for several years.

 Some recommendations.

Book a flight early in Jan.

 if you shop around You can find flights to anchorage. between 300 and 700 dollars.

Flights this year were going for around 340 bucks round trip.

A friend waited until April and he paid 500 bucks .

I know people who have paid as low as 275 bucks with 2 layovers.

 

There are several options once you reserve your flight .

Where to go?

3 of my friends went this year and they split the cost on a pick up camper.

1000 bucks a piece for 3 weeks. Again shop early!

It is important to know or learn the road system

You can find the secret spots that are empty of anglers.

Buy a book or books get a map Ak Gazzetere,

Highway angler. several others to chose from. another option is to search the net.

You will be amazed at some do it your self float trips that our out there ,

 many club members have taken such trips,

Example I found a outfit that will fly you in to Bristol bay area, supply the raft give some tips for 1000 bucks a head for a week. there is a tremendous amount to do in this beautiful land.

You will need to know what you want to fish for .the 3 main salmon that people target our kings (May to mid July) (sockeye June - July) silvers my favorite mid august to October. steel head fishing is better in the fall like October. Kodiak island is a great place to utilize the roads and very little angling pressure good for silvers and sockeye and steel head. Bristol bay is top notch for trophy rainbows. I can go on and on. any more questions i can lead you down some paths to get you into the Great Land

Just give me a e- mail
