Greetings From Kodiak Alaska

Recommended Posts

Man this is a cool site and i am glad to be a part of it.

 

I live in Kodiak Alaska. I am an 6'6' brown eyed 18 year old male and have been fly fishing since i was about 8 years old. At age 10 i moved here from Layton, Utah to my fishing delight. I flyfished mostly for rainbows,cutts, brooks and browns in Utah. Up here i fish for Cohos,Kings,Chums,Reds, and pink salmon. I also fish for rainbows, dollies and the occasional halibut. I have been tying for about 6 years. The biggest fish i have caught on a fly rod was a 58 pound king salmon on the talachulitna. My best fishing day ever was when i caught 42 Fresh silver salmon right on the kodiak road system.

Welcome aboard Kodiak, yup we kinda break the old mold of a fly tyer around this place..but we still are all serious about what we do wink.gif

 

Have fun and jump right in, we have swaps going all the time and in just over a month we also have the tyer of the year contest which is always fun so check that out.

 

Would love to see a pic of that 52#salmon bugeyes.gif being a salmon fisherman myself i've taken some nice ones but here in the great lakes area we rarely get over 30#.

Welcome Kodiak cheers.gif

 

I always wanted to travel to a Alaska and fish after those big salmon you guys got over there.

 

Is it much snow there now or can still fish with dryflies?

 

Here where I live the fly fishing season is over, it’s ice and snow everywhere crying.gif

Hey guys, you should see the "rainbows" up there. They're STEELHEAD sized. And yes, they're rainbows, not sea run. ohmy.gif

Kodiak, welcome to the board! I have some kinfolk that took a cruise to AK and loved it. My daughter works for a doctor that was born & raised in AK and has some great photos of fishing in that state. Some show him sharing the water with some big bears. We look forward to your sharing photos and info in fishing in the biggest state in the USA. headbang.gif

Welcome aboard Kodiak. This is a great place to kick back and relax when the weather puts you off the stream. sad.gif
