{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: AK DIY Thoughts?

OC,

I've only been to AK a couple times for work, but managed to sneak down to the Kenai area and would say it is a good bet.  The Kenai itself is a relatively large river and while you can have some decent success, I had a blast with my tenkara on the Russian River and Quartz Creek fishing for dollys and rainbows...even managed a couple of sokeye on the tenkara! (https://youtu.be/fKYjdCFEjy0)   These are much more intimate waters and allow you tons of access up and down the streams.  The Russian tends to get more pressure, but if you put some time in hiking, you can usually get away from everyone.  The dollys are definitely the dominant species in these areas and they eagerly take the flies.

Let us know how you do.

Gang, 

I have to go to Seward, AK for work next month. I know - terrible luck. 

In any case, the majority of my trip will be tied up with charter boat fishing, which should be fun but isn't exactly my bag. I'm working to build a couple of free days onto one end of the trip to fool around for rainbows or anything else anyone recommends. Can/will bring a good sized-rod quiver with me, experienced in West Coast steelhead and salmon on the fly but never been to AK. 

Any suggestions would be greatly, greatly appreciated! 

Thanks, 

OC
