Fly fishing for king salmon today and Larry Tumblin hooked up to what turned out to be a 35 lb. King Salmon this Summer. 10 wt. fly rods and sinking lines and heavy leaders did the trick. What was the fly? Stay tuned – I will show you how to tie it this fall, once things slow down.

Fly fishing for king salmon can be one of the most frustrating things to do or it can be fast and furious. We have spent a few days in search of king salmon on the fly for a special group from the east coast and finally hit the sweet spot. The guys have hooked up on quit a few fish but the fish haven’t been playing very fair. I like to use a 10 weight or bigger for king salmon and more times than not I wish I had a 12 weight. The fly’s are big and the lines are heavy. A heavier rod makes for a more comfortable days fishing and when you do have a 35+ pound fish on it gives you that much more back bone to get the fish to shore. for more information about our alaska fishing guide service contact us here: Contact

The little susitna trip was a success!! Everyone hooked into King Salmon on fly rods, the food was great and plenty of it, the weather brought clear (sunscreen was definitely needed) and hot (70’s) days and everyone learned how easy it is to fish yourself to sleep! Back country trips are always a lot of fun though none of them go exactly like it is planned out on paper. Then again that’s part of the fun as well! We are planning a trip for 2009 and if you would like information on when and where as soon as it is available, please email me so I can put you on the list. We will continue to limit these trips to four people for 3 nights and 4 days on the river. This is also an excellent trip for when the silver salmon are running as well, the logistics are the same and the price is as well. Carlos, Glenn and Larry – Thank you, it was great! And congratulations to larry for landing the biggest king salmon of the fishing trip. It was a great battle and we enjoyed putting that one in the net.
Go ahead and give us a call to line up your next back country fishing trip in Alaska.
Fly fishing for king salmon can take some patients but play your tides and look for pushes of fish to come by. The King Salmon are starting to show up in real numbers now. I took this fish on a blue and chart. Marabou fly, Size 3/0. A dead drift worked for this guy but sometimes you can get them on a few short strips at the end of the drift.
This is good fishing and if you to would like to try your luck with a King Salmon feel free to contact me at www.driftingonthefly.com for your next guide trip.
Kasilof river King Salmon fishing is getting good now. On a guide trip last Tues. and took a beautiful fresh 20lbs. King salmon. We had a few other hits and caught a few Dolly Varden, Steel head, and flounder in the tidal water. Things are looking up and the fishing should only get better on the kenai peninsula.

I will be in Cordova Alaska fishing for the next week for steelhead, sea run cutthroat, rainbow trout, and Dolly Varden. The fishing should be good unless the rivers get blown out and it is calling for rain throughout the week.
It’s that time in Alaska! I haven’t been able to get out and fish to much due to the weather and work but that’s all over for now. I hope that everyone is enjoying their spring and getting a line wet now and then.
If you’re looking for a fishing trip in south central Alaska this season we’d be happy to Hook you up. Check out our website at www.driftingonthefly.com or you can email me at scott@driftingonthefly.com for your next Alaska fishing guide trip!
