Hey I just moved from Oregon to Alaska, and was just wondering a few things. I am guessing that a lot of the things we use in oregon on salmon and steelhead etc will work for the species here also. I was just curious, what are your picks on salmon/steelhead/trout flies for the anchorage area or alaska at a whole.
Thanks in advance!

I've caught lots of kings and silvers with different color cofo flies. A guy in Soldotna was selling them out of his car. He asked if I want any fly and was selling them VERY VERY cheap. They had sharp VMC? hooks. He used to sell them to Fred-Meyer. I bought like 200+ of them. I still have 80+. They were legal (pt. to shank) for reds as well and I have caught (lined ) many reds with it. I have used the coho fly all over AK and it works for me. I have to use them because I still have 80+ left

For trout I used different egg patterns fishing upper Kenai and it worked great. Other than that I haven't targeted trout up there.

Hey, where in AK do you live? I used to live up there and I used to guide on the Alagnak in the summer. What rivers?

If you are a fly guy take a look at

It used to have good info. I only check it out in summer time.
