Seward has a lot off fun attractions to offer but this race is one of the community’s most loved events. Of you’re ever in Alaska on the 4th of July make sure you come to Seward for the race, parade and great food. You can even get chocolate covered bacon!! Yuck but you have to try it because it’s chocolate covered bacon.

Little Susitna river fly fishing can be very productive. We have hooked many king salmon, silver salmon, and rainbow trout on the fly in this system. Here is a picture of a king salmon hooked up on the fly rod. This fish took a purple articulated leech on the swing. Thanks to John Colmen and Jeff Murray for making the 2008 little Susitna trip a success. John and Jeff moved the camp boat, set up camp and cooked every day. Enjoying a great trip and just having them in camp added that much more to a great experience. You can catch up with these guys deep in the Shenandoah national park fishing for spooky brook trout or on the Shenandoah rivers fly casting for small mouth bass. If you would enjoy this or if it is close to your neck of the woods look them up at www.murraysflyshop.com.
Thanks again guys and good fishing, Scott Sager Drifting On The Fly, LLC
Shenandoah smallmouth bass fishing can be very good in the spring. The days are getting longer and it seems that you can get a lot more done. Two weeks ago I visited my home town of Strasburg, VA for my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary! It was a very nice but a short visit. I did get a chance to fish for only a few hours with the folks at Murrays fly shop (www.murraysflyshop.com). We fished the north fork of the Shenandoah river throwing leaches with a slow retrieve. I managed to land a 10-12″ smallmouth and John landed a solid 12″ fish. It was nice to get out and see that the fish were willing to play.
Thanks and there will be more posts this week and a few pictures.
