Alaska's Rainbow Heaven David Taylor February 11, 2010 |
|
The area is home to some highest concentrations of Rainbow Trout to be found in the state of Alaska, as well as large populations of Arctic Char, Arctic Grayling and Northern Pike. The watershed also sees literally millions of Sockeye Salmon return annually to spawn. All five species will be covered in detail, including best times of the season, lines, rods, flies, and how the fishery revolves around the life cycle of the Salmon. Questions are welcome. From scenic shots, slides of wildlife and information on when and how to catch Rainbow Trout, Arctic Char, Arctic Grayling, Northern Pike and Sockeye Salmon. This is a very informative and interesting presentation.
David’s Bio:
I was born and raised in central Illinois. I discovered fly fishing in 1973 while a student at Colorado State University. I moved to Fairbanks, Alaska in 1974 after college, and began to explore Alaska’s Bristol Bay area. In 1996, after many return trips to Alaska, I started Reel Wilderness Adventures with my two sons. Over the past 14 years, Reel Wilderness has grown into a unique wilderness destination for fly fishers who wish to experience Alaska’s exceptional wilderness fly fishing in a truly remote and un-crowded setting. One of the greatest gifts fly fishing has given me was meeting my wife Laura while fly fishing in Alaska. Laura shares my passion for fly fishing. We operate Reel Wilderness Adventures in Alaska during the summers and reside at our home in Hawaii the remainder of the year.
