Alaska Week: Check this out on Sunday


Alaska week is coming to a close - Check out this webcam from downtown Anchorage and I might just wave to you. Any FlyFishMagazine.com readers in the Anchorage area feel free to look me up in the bar of the Hilton Hotel.

Hopefully we will have plenty of tall tales and fish porn as the result of this trip to the North country. The plan for the next few weeks is to sort through the photos and video and prepare for the Fly Fishing Retailer show in Denver.

Alaska Week: Poor Poor Mickey



You can be we have a few of these Orvis Mouse Flies in our box. We consider this weeks Alaska Trip to be an all out field test.

Big browns feed at night and big Alaskan rainbows love to whack a lemming or two when they get in the water. The Mouse Fly is the ticket for both. Great realism as you swim it across a river. Fish it near banks where the high grass grows when the wind is blowing or at night. Make sure it plops on the water and then swim it across. Just don't freak out when the hit comes. Color, Natural. Size: 4.
