Lake Creek Alaska: Phase One

by joey on Sep.15, 2008, under Fly Fishing

Just got back from the Alaskan Bush fishing for Leapord Rainbows and any salmon that would bite. It was the most remote I have ever been, the mosquitos could carry you away and the trout were gorgeous. We saw the Northern Lights but no bears even though the neighbor shot one while we were there. I am off to bed been up for 36 hours, I’ll have more pics and video up in a few days.

Alaska Bound: Where? Who Knows

by joey on Sep.07, 2008, under Fly Fishing

Headed Northwest to the unknow for some serious fish slaying events. I have got my 7 and 8 weight packed hoping to put a serious bend in both of them. We fly into Anchorage and then take a puddle jumper a couple hours into the bush to a place called Lake Creek. After looking a websites trying to see what excatlly I am getting into, all I could find was a few killer Eighties photos of bloody salmon and scary women. But, I have found that the Rainbows are supposed to be silly for a skated mouse pattern or a flesh fly. We’ll find out in a few hours. Regardless I won’t be dissapointed….hell it’s Alaska

Tailwater Trout Tards: Who Cares

by joey on Sep.07, 2008, under Fly Fishing

Newellsy and I did a float on xyz River last week (name will remain anonymous so I don’t get frowned upon, but if you live in CO you know where it is) and hammered some Giant Bows on dirty San Juan Worms and Big 20 Inchers. There is a section of this anonymous river that holds some giant and I mean giant stockers. But really who gives a shit. Fishing is fishing and it is all fun weather your casting to pesky spring fed trout or giant tards who love big nymphs. Take from it what you will……..but we had a good time. How can you not when there is potential to catch a fish like these.

So they my be lacking the survival gene but these fish rip like any other trout. As soon as you set the hook your line peels off the water leaving a hissing sound and your gut in butterflies.

Getting Dirty With The Stimmies

by joey on Sep.04, 2008, under Fly Fishing

Took Amos down the river on Labor Day and had another dry fly bonanza. Amos laid some waste to some good looking Browns and one Giant Rainbow that……… got away.

Got up nice and early to some Frank Sinatra on the alarm….not a good thing to wake you up. It puts you back to sleep.
