We decided to write this blog as a way of sharing some of our stories from past experiences fishing, tying flies, guiding, and traveling. Most of which are completely 100% true except for the names of people, some stories are slightly embellished and some are mostly made up. It's really for you to figure it out and for us to have some fun writing down some of the truly good memories we have had while immersed in fly fishing.

Alaska - A Day to Remember

The season is about to begin on all of the fisheries around Lake Iliamna, Alaska.  I was looking through a bunch of pictures that I have from my seasons guiding for Cusack's Alaska Lodge and the next few pictures reminded me of a great day that we had fishing the Gibraltar River.  We only went out for an half day of fishing because our two guests had to be back at the lodge to catch their Air Taxi flight to Anchorage, AK to get their flights home.  

We were using a variety of trout beads and egg patterns and we were catching large trout after large trout.  In a sequence of about thirty minutes both guests caught the largest trout of their lives, had a close view of a very large brown bear!  

Either way I thought it would be fun to post something about Alaska since the season is about to open up within the next several weeks!

The weather looks like it is going to continue to cooperate this weekend, so get out and fish!

Tight lines!
