Last minute opportunity - Kvichak River, Alaska
Hi all, I fished the Kvichak week of Sept 14th with Evening Hatch / Jack Mitchell's outfit for big rainbows typicalily 18-24" with some larger - see attached photo of fish that I believe he said was 28" (they can go a bit over 30"!!). Class operation, great guides and experience.
Jack called me today to let me know there is a last minute opportunity for next week at half off normal price. You would have to catch a charter flight out of Anchorage next Tuesday Oct 6 at 10:30AM.
If interested contact Jack right away at (509) 859-2280 for details. Also happy to talk to anyone interested, call me at 651.233.8089.
Tight lines -

From Danny Beatty:
Nice posting of all the salmon coming along the coast during the Fall. For "close in" fishing I have caught fish not too far from the Cornet Bay (Deception Pass State Park) boat launch to south of Ali Spit. But I think, if you are fishing for chum salmon (we used to call them dog salmon) I recommend a rod of at least 7 wt. I remember fishing with John Freeman at Ali Spit when a large (mid teen maybe?) chum took the fly and started heading back for Hoypus Pt. I kept adding pressure and the fish kept swimming north. The line went out through the guides, then the backing went with the line, and I seemed to realize I could not add any more pressure to the 7 wt. rod. It did not take long for a separation to happen. It was at the connection of the fly line and the backing.
My suggestion is to make sure the connection of the fly line and backing is secure and will withstand a Chum Salmon heading north (maybe) back to Deception Pass thinking "maybe this spawning idea is a sham"!
I've often wondered, with the tides, the Pass on the West and the River to the east, where did that fly line end up? Danny

Fly Fishing Watercraft
Need to reduce my flotilla of inflatable fishing watercraft. I have an Outcast Fish Cat float boat, a Caddis float tube, a 9' Wilderness 14 pontoon boat, a Sevylor Supercaravelle 2-man raft. All have been recently leak checked and guarantee lots of fishing luck remaining. Looking for any new member to give them continued good use. Ron (360) 826-2923

Care and maintenance of Bamboo Fly Rods
Many of you know that I have gotten into Bamboo. I did some research on their care and maintenance and thought I would share my findings. I posted it on the Education and Info page of our website. It is a compilation of several different guides. If you have done any research into bamboo, you know that many are passionate about their particular theories and beliefs and I have tried to compile the most common understandings.

One additional note for care of bamboo fly rods. If there are ties on the top or side of a rod bag, do not use them. This can inadvertently bend rod sections inside the bag and put a "set" in those sections. Leave the ties loose, or cut them off of the rod bag.

What a great fish! I had a similar experience at Brad’s Igigugig Lodge. I caught this 24/25 inch rainbow on the Kvichack River on September 23rd. After measung a 24” on Sunday the 20th, I stopped measuring. The silvers started comming in toward the end of the week.
