Reel Action Fly Fishing (www.reelactionfly.com) is a guide and travel service based out of Rochester, NY. We run a lodge on the Kanektok River in Alaska, guide on the tributaries of Lake Erie and Ontario in NY, and spend winter fly fishing for bonefish in the Bahamas.
Visiting my hometown of traverse city around the last week of July up until the middle of August and I was wondering if I will be able to get into some carp action.... everyone has said it's been abnormally cold in the bays this year and I was thinking I may have a chance... any and all info is appreciated!
nice footage, i wish they were longer into the fight for better flow and continuity. Watching those monsters turn was great fun....even when it's the little one in the group
Paul, I remember you teaching me how to fly fish in the New River Gorge for small mouths when we went whitewater rafting!! It's my dream to someday venture with you in Alaska and fish for these majestic fish and others as well! Thank you for posting these videos, and glad things are going well.
grate job on landing these beautiful fish. ive never been lucky enough to land any myself but would love yo one day. would love to know the locations so that I may try my luck there.
Big Money to fish there. Only the rich can.Never hou see other brands than Simms,Sage etc. One hand thats good. Else it would be empty rivers prob. But I am a very responsable fisher.Meaning short drills and release/barbless etc. Why tf I cant afford to fish all these georgeous places. I want to live in or Alaska or BC. Only to flyfish in the weekends would be enough. But ofcourse I really really love the land(scapes) over there. If there is a God, you only see it there in the flora and fauna.
I've lived in Alaska for 5 years now. I can see why you would think you have to be rich to fish out here. Alaska is an expensive state to live in let alone afford to do much without having a few grand extra cash to blow. Winter's are extremely long out here and get even more expensive. But none the less there are ways to manage. I wouldn't let the money deter you from coming out even just once to fish. You'll die a happy man. I moved here from California and the one thing i've learned in 5 years is life is about experiences. Sometime you just have to take a chance. I came out here with less than 40 bucks to my name, worked several shitty jobs working ridiculous hours night and day. 5 years down the line my hard work paid off. My best advice for anyone that's never been to Alaska, come enjoy a "Summer" but get out before winter if you don't want to see your money disappear right before your eye's.
Great footage and angling! Lovin' those explosive takes and chaotic rooster tails! I'm headed to Exuma in March for a mostly DIY trip. Any info you could share would be much appreciated. Is this all self guided? Again, WELL DONE!
