Fly fishing for coho (silver salmon), 4 rivers in 7 days, 20 fish per day, all on the fly, some on streamers, some on topwater...almost all sight fishing. Epic
Makes me proud to hear so many people luv this great state. I enjoyed your video and really enjoyed the ending where you showed clips of the state I live in , put some tears in my eyes. I luv Alaska
@@dougisnow Nope, I"m just out of ANC which is easiest for work. I use to fly in from "the outside" until I literally sold my 3x2 house in a month, filled my truck and just drove here, downsized to a condo and bought without even seeing it or being here. Call it crazy I know, but life is an adventure. The Reds are rolling in the Kenai now and Aug + will be good for the silvers........I'll save ya some. Have fun. Fish ON
Well done sir! Make it happen, get yourself back to the beaut. The Sleeping lady awaits! I haven't been back in 16 years myself, do not let this happen to you! Go
for a week? several thousand at minimum. First is your airfare. Camping in tents and dry state campgrounds will be $20/night but they can fill up quickly. Food and other things will be more expensive than where you live. A non-resident fishing licence for a week is around $100 for the week which doesn't include King salmon for which you need to buy an additional stamp for the license. If you stay longer than a week, you should get the annual non-resident which is $145 plus another $100 for the king stamp if you need it. And you'll need to rent a car or RV to get around to your fishing spots
Good video!! Well done!! However I was disappointed to see a large number of fish killed!!! Why dont ye practice catch and release?? Ye took a lot of fish home?
I think the limit per day was 4, derek and I fished for 5 or 6 days and caught and released EVERYTHING (appx 15-20 each per day). on our last day we kept a couple to take home...
thx! not sure what you mean by setup, but if you mean rods & reels, mostly single hand 7 and 8wts, floating lines, pink streamers/clousers and wogs (surface). video setup was just gopros on chest and head mounts
Good video. In that one section where everyone brought fish back, wouldn't it make more sense to clean them out down on the water instead of putting all the extra weight and taking up space on the plane? The fillets would probably fit into 2 average coolers or 1 large boat cooler
thx for asking. the prior group cleaned their fish on the river bank and that's why the bears were there, brave and hungry for more fish parts. not the best idea to leave food on a beach with bear around!
For the silvers like you see being caught, just get yourself there some time in later july-Aug and there are numerous locations like the ones you see. ...just get there, rent a car, and bounce around. When asked for fishing info, the people in AK are probably not like you're used to. They will tell you which locations are good at that time. There are also state websites with that info. I'm back watching all these in mid winter because i miss the summer activity so much.
Any logistic advice for a trip like this? Id love to fish this part of Alaska but finding all of those small plane flights and lodging in that part of Alaska would be difficult.?
very easy because there are SOOOO many. AK also has the most licensed pilots per capita in the US. It can get very very expensive to go with lodges and fly-in's. There are a few lodges that are $2000+ per day! The least expensive way would be to research the fishing spots with campsites on fishing grounds (there are so many), then get yourself to ANC, rent a car to get yourself to those spots. Bring/buy a tent, of course. rain can last weeks at a time so be sure to bring a waterproof tent. tent campsites are generally $15/night across the state.
